Samantha Pilacinski believes confident financial decisions begin with meaningful analysis and a clear understanding of each client’s unique goals and priorities. As a Financial Advisor at True Vision Financial Advisors, Samantha works closely with individuals and families to navigate life’s most important transitions, with a specialized focus on retirement planning and income strategies. She brings together a strong analytical background with a genuine commitment to the people she serves.
“My goal is to take the complexity out of financial planning. By using a data-driven approach, I help my clients move from uncertainty to clarity, allowing them to focus on enjoying their retirement.”
Samantha’s path to becoming an advisor is rooted in both education and experience. She earned her B.S. in Mathematical Economics from the University of St. Thomas and began her career on the Trading Desk at Charles Schwab. She later spent a decade in Risk Analysis, where she mastered the art of data-driven decision-making—experience she now uses to help clients build personalized, resilient plans.
Financial planning has always been a part of Samantha’s life. Growing up watching her father build his own financial advising firm over 20 years ago, she was instilled with a deep sense of ethics and a long-term perspective on wealth management. Today, she brings that same integrity to True Vision, not only as an advisor but as a leader in the firm’s operations and strategic growth. She is passionate about enhancing the client experience and mentoring the next generation of advisors.
A true Minnesotan at heart, Samantha enjoys making the most of every season. In her free time, she heads up north to her family cabin. On weekends, you’ll often find her on the lake with her husband and daughter, enjoying the kind of family moments she works hard to help her clients create.
