About Schneider Wealth Management
Schneider Wealth Management is an independent firm working with a limited number of selective clients so we can offer highly personalized service and solutions.
Because of our size, we can can guarantee that you get our attention and something that’s just for you.
We provide an alternative to a large firm where you risk falling through the cracks and receiving a packaged solution.
As a NAFPA member we have taken a Fiduciary Oath that requires us to exercise best efforts to act in good faith and in the best interests of our clients. We do not receive any compensation or other remuneration that is contingent on any client’s purchase or sale of a financial product.
Our alliance with Schwab allows our clients to gain the benefits of a large institution with the personal attention of an independent firm.
We may refer clients to estate planning attorneys, insurance professionals, tax advisers and mortgage advisers but receive no compensation nor fee for referrals to such professionals.
What can you expect:
✔️ You work directly with the principal. No passing off to a junior associate or software package.
✔️ Your needs drive our services. Because of our size, we have the flexibility to address your needs as they evolve.
✔️ You’re a big fish in a little pond. A selective client roster means personal attention for you
To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.

Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
