About Me

Hi. I'm Jeff Schlotterbeck.

I am the Founder and Senior Wealth Advisor for Water Street. I work directly with individuals, families, and businesses to address all aspects of their financial landscape.

Prior to forming Water Street Wealth Management, I spent nearly 15 years working with two major financial service companies in Tampa Bay. Most recently, I served as a Senior Financial Consultant overseeing $500 million of high net worth client relationships, helping them with all aspects of their financial life.

I focus on client education, communication, and strategic investment portfolio guidance. I have always ascribed to a holistic methodology, incorporating financial planning, tax planning, investment management, and estate planning into one seamless relationship.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized with multiple accolades and I am proud of my accomplishments in developing strong client relationships and satisfaction. I am an alumni of the University of South Florida where I majored in Marketing and Finance. I am also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner and I subscribe to the ethical requirements as set forth by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.

I am an active supporter of Junior Achievement in the Tampa Bay Area. When I am not perfecting financial plans, you can find me spending time with my wife Darcy and son Caden. We enjoy traveling, snow skiing, and spending most of our weekends at the beach or ball field. I am an avid golfer and BBQ Big Green Egg fanatic. I am constantly trying to perfect my golf swing and my brisket recipe, both of which are never-ending battles.

I met Jeff through circumstance, because he was handling some family money that I needed to become involved with. Pleasantly surprised he was conservatively looking after the family money, in a caring, professional manner – always having their best interest in mind. I was so impressed that I ended up moving my money over to Jeff. I think the highest compliment you can express about your Financial Advisor is, I could trust him to protect and build my parents money.

Jeff is thorough, knowledgeable, reachable and explanative. He has set financial goals and achieved those goals; and now he is helping us ease into retirement and protecting those assets. But I think one of his strengths is, he also minimizes the negative in a down market, where it may be difficult to find growth or profit.

He has certainly done well by our family. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.

I have been working with Jeff for longer then I can remember. Thoughtout the years, he has been so attentive and had excellent informative proffessional guidance for all my goals and plans. He is always available and directs you in the most profitable positions according to your comfort level. There will always be ups and downs in the market, but if you are thinking it is time to find a someone you can trust and finally decide you need to start planing your future I would give him a call. I have recommend him to my friends and they have thanked me also!

Jeff has been my financial planner for many years. Through market ups and downs he has helped me make strategic investments which have had a positive effect on my portfolio. He is always quick to respond to questions, and point out opportunities based on my investment goals. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, friendly financial planner give Jeff a call.

Excellent individual attention as opposed to large wealth management firms. Advice is always geared towards the clients interests and on point. Very easy to communicate with. Portfolios are reviewed quarterly with adjustments made accordingly.

Just a short note about Jeff Schlotterbeck and Water Street Wealth Management. I am an older investor that has been investing for years with all kinds of company and brokerage services. Jeff, at Water Street, has provided the best advice, service, attention, empathy and concern of any other group I have dealt with. In meetings he listens, doesn’t try to sell you anything and works in a collaborative way to accomplish your investment goals. He can make portfolio changes in days instead of weeks like some of the other institutional platforms. His monthly communications are both professional and personable, as he keeps you up to speed on changing market conditions. Bottom line, his service provides Value. Partnering with Jeff has been one of the best investment decisions I have made.
