About us

Deeper Relationships. Personal Attention.

No two clients are the same, so no two portfolios are either. We take the time to understand your situation and build a plan that’s truly yours.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Stewardship

Stewardship isn't just another buzzword, it's a deep conviction we feel at our core. Your wealth represents everything you've worked for. It's our sacred responsibility to tend with care.

Accountability

We don't hide behind jargon or dodge hard questions. You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it's working. If something's off, we'll be the first to tell you.

Diligence

“Every portfolio, every day.” We're not watching from a distance, we're in it daily, looking for opportunities, managing risk, and making sure nothing gets missed.

Generosity

As the firm grows, so does our giving. We commit a percentage of revenue, not just what's left over, to investing in our community, with a special focus on young people and the next generation.

Trust

Trust isn't claimed, it's built. Through honest conversations, clear explanations, and doing what we said we'd do year after year. After 25 years our 98% retention rate speaks for itself.

LEADERSHIP

At Schmidt Wealth, our team is built around personalization. We bring deep expertise to every portfolio and pair it with care, clarity, and continuity. The same voices you meet at the beginning are the ones you’ll hear from throughout the journey.

Jessie Schmidt

Executive Assistant & Payroll Manager

Jessie is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati where she earned an associate's degree in Applied Business and a bachelor's degree in Paralegal Studies. She brings more than 15 years of experience in paralegal and administrative roles, with a strong commitment to accuracy, organization, and serving others well. At Schmidt Wealth Management, she supports payroll and administrative operations. Her work is grounded in her faith, and she strives to honor God through excellence, integrity, and genuine care for the people the firm serves. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, reading, working out, and spending time with friends and family.

There’s no handoff to a junior advisor. Clients experience what it’s like to work with someone who knows their story, anticipates their needs, and treats their future with respect.

MEASURING
SUCCESS

We measure success by faithfully stewarding your resources, not landing the next client.

It’s multiplication over addition.

Informed Investment

We’re happy to customize sectors and investments based on what matters to you. We optimize for specificity. You don’t want a portfolio that works “on average.” You want one that works for you.

Eager to Collaborate

We’ve been doing this for over 25 years, but we don’t just say ‘trust us.’ We earn trust by making sure clients are truly part of the process. We listen first, research second, and advise last.

Thoughtfully Adjusted

We’re always looking for ways to refine or rebalance to improve your wealth. It’s not set-it-and-forget-it here. We’re all about staying responsive and making smart, timely adjustments that keep your strategy aligned with your goals.

We measure success in trust earned,relationships maintained,and the peace of mind our clients experience.
