Our process is really your process.

Step One: Listen
Active, engaged listening is a dying art in the financial services industry; yet this is our advisors’ most important skill set and we allocate much of our process to getting it right. We meet you where you are, listen intently, dig deeply through insightful questions, clarify and understand
Step Two: Envision
We believe strongly in abundance thinking. Our consultative process is realistically positive and hopeful and is fed by the information gathered during Step One. Through a client-focused service model, Step Two offers clients access to a multi-disciplinary opinion board—the Schilbach Capital Wealth Optimization Board--that functions much like the in-house advisors of a family office. A wide range of expertise from estate, succession, and tax planning to philanthropic and generational consulting informs each client’s wealth management process.
The tangible product of the Wealth Optimization Board review is a Wealth Optimization Plan that provides detailed ideas, suggestions, timelines, and implementation proposals. This serves as a custom-designed roadmap, illustrating how all stakeholders can become dynamic owners and joyful participants in the benefits of their wealth.
Step Three: Journey
Even the best strategies have no impact unless they are put into practice. The Wealth Optimization Plan™ is a dynamic document that requires attention and monitoring to ensure effectiveness. Our role is to walk beside, guide, assist and sometimes cajole our client families so important milestones are met. We don’t schedule meetings just to check off a box. We won’t send a generic card because the computer told us to. Our communication and interaction with families is natural, unscripted, and specific to your needs and of all family stakeholders. We strive to be ever-present but never intrusive, guiding rather than instructing.
Step Four: Reflect, Assess, Adapt
Life rarely follows a linear script! So the dynamic nature of our process is cyclical, just like your life’s journey. Together we will accomplish many structural steps, but the cultural needs will continue to evolve. As family dynamics change, so will the plan.
Overview of our simple and elegant yet powerful process:

We would be honored to guide your family on the journey from wealth to legacy.
