Schmidt Financial Management is honored to announce that we have been named a finalist in the 2024 WealthManagement.com Industry Awards, also known as the “Wealthies,” in the Client Initiative category.
This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, proactive, and highly personalized financial planning experiences for technology executives, highly compensated professionals, and their families.
Our finalist recognition centers on the development of our Tax Dashboard, an innovative client service initiative designed to simplify tax season and improve collaboration between clients, CPAs, and the Schmidt Financial Management team.
The Tax Dashboard provides a secure, centralized place for sharing personalized tax reports, account information, and key planning details. By streamlining tax-related communication and task management, the tool helps reduce the time, effort, and stress often associated with tax preparation.
More importantly, it creates space for better conversations, not just about tax documents, but about long-term financial planning, equity compensation, charitable giving, liquidity events, and other important wealth-building decisions.
Schmidt Financial Management has deep roots in serving technology professionals. Founded more than three decades ago by Glenda Schmidt, who began by teaching money management classes to early Microsoft engineers, our firm has long understood the unique financial opportunities and complexities of careers in technology.
Today, we continue that legacy by helping clients from leading technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, and others, navigate complex compensation structures such as restricted stock units, stock options, IPO-related decisions, concentrated stock positions, and long-term wealth planning.
Our mission is to help clients make confident financial decisions at every stage of their careers, from rapid wealth accumulation to major liquidity events, retirement planning, and legacy-building.
The WealthManagement.com Industry Awards recognize firms and individuals who are shaping the future of the wealth management industry. The Client Initiative category specifically celebrates creative, impactful strategies that improve the client experience.
Being named a finalist is a meaningful honor and a reflection of the dedication, creativity, and care our team brings to every client relationship. We are especially proud that the Tax Dashboard was recognized for its role in helping clients feel more organized, informed, and supported during one of the most complex times of the financial year.
We extend our sincere thanks to WealthManagement.com for this recognition, and to our clients and team members who continue to inspire innovation at Schmidt Financial Management.
