Carla Bessette, Partner, Reno Tahoe Wealth Management, brings a wealth of experience and a client-centered approach to financial planning. Born in Minnesota, Carla’s background is as rich and varied as her interests. Carla attended Bemidji State University as a business major.

Carla’s passion for her work is evident in her dedication to building relationships and helping her clients achieve their goals through holistic planning.

This people-first philosophy has guided her through 27 years of service in wealth management.

Outside the office, Carla’s life is full of adventure and shared experiences with her husband Peter, her stepsons Drew and Jack, and a wide circle of family and friends. Whether skiing down the slopes of Japan, golfing across the globe, or engaging in any number of outdoor activities, Carla lives by the motto “work hard, play hard.” Her commitment to making a difference extends into philanthropy as a past Board Member of the Nevada Women’s Fund and supporting events for cancer research.
