The Story Behind the Work
Boris Desancic's professional journey didn't begin in a boardroom — it began as a 17-year-old immigrant escaping civil war in the former Yugoslavia. Arriving in the United States with little more than determination and a commitment to building a meaningful life, Boris pursued higher education in finance and international business before entering the financial services industry.
What set Boris apart early in his career was a fundamental belief that most business owners don't fail because of bad ideas — they lose ground because their strategies don't evolve as fast as their businesses do. That insight became the foundation for everything he's built since.
Over 31 years, Boris has worked hands-on with closely held business owners across industries — construction, manufacturing, real estate, professional services, and more. His approach has always been relationship-driven and long-term, prioritizing outcomes over transactions.
Today, through Ascent Wealth Strategies (a dba of Clear Creek Financial Management, LLC), Boris and his team serve business owners who are looking for more than a plan — they want a partner who understands the complexity of building, running, and eventually transitioning a successful enterprise.
