These recognitions motivate us to continue raising the bar, strengthening our relationships, and providing the thoughtful guidance our clients rely on.

2025 Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams for Illinois

Puzzle Wealth is honored to be recognized as a 2025 Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Team for Illinois. This distinction is awarded by SHOOK Research and is based on a range of criteria including industry experience, compliance records, and assets under management.  This accolade reflects our team's unwavering commitment to excellence and underscores the trust our clients place in us.

The Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm that includes: client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, including: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receives a fee inexchange for rankings.

The Puzzle Process

Today's financial world presents potentially beneficial opportunities, but some investors may miss them by not aligning with the right professionals. The Puzzle Checklist uniquely positions us to efficiently address YOUR specific needs to help YOU pursue YOUR goals.

Step 1: Your Financial Plan

You’ve made yourself wealthy.  Let us help you keep it that way.  We dig into the weeds to uncover every financial goal that is important to you. 


From there, we report back with your Probability of Retirement Success using statistical modeling (Monte Carlo) and Stress Testing on an ANNUAL basis.  That is the confidence you need to reduce stress in your life.

Step 2: Portfolio Construction

Your solution to sustained, long-lasting investing results does not live on social media, on business channels, or from the weekend radio hosts. 


Our solutions come from a collaboration of professionals, the latest software, and our advisor’s experience in Private Wealth Management.  Your portfolio will include equities, fixed income, and alternative investments constructed with potential rewards, risk and fees in mind.

Step 3: Align Your Experts

Most investors manage their wealth in silos leaving them to play messenger between each other. 


If you have a trusted CPA and Estate Planning Attorney, we will work closely with them to save you time and stress. 


Alternatively, if you have not built your team yet, we will help you conduct an efficient interview search via Zoom to hire those professionals.

Step 4: Review Insurance Strategies

Whether it is used to reduce estate tax liability or supplement long-term care needs, insurance is an investment that helps save money or avoid catastrophic consequences down the road. 


We will help you stay on top of the latest strategies and implement sound solutions.

Step 5: Tax Efficiency and Giving Strategies

We know you HATE paying taxes.  Our solutions will review tax implications to make sure that tax minimization goals are considered. 


In addition, we will utilize Donor Advised Funds to make sure you can give more to charities AND deduct more from taxes. 


Lastly, gifting money to family members will reduce taxable estates and allow you to see them benefit during your lifetime.


Specific individualized tax advice not provided. We suggest that you discuss your specific tax issues with a qualified tax advisor. 

Step 6: Quarterly and Annual Review

The majority of individuals tell us that their previous advisor only spoke with them once a year.  That is shameful.

 

Quarterly, we will review your portfolio and recommend new investments or other strategies to consider.  Annually, we will update your financial plan in January to see what has changed along with how the future looks. 


We will be there to guide you during the good times along with any rough stretches in the market.
