Management of Your Entire Wealth (not just a piece of it)
Most financial advisors and “Wall Street” Firms only focus on public stock – leaving everything else as an afterthought. At Zeniki, our white glove Personal CFO services pick up where other advisors leave off (by managing your entire wealth, not just a portion of it). Whether you need an extra hand for your business, your real estate properties, or you simply need help with all the paperwork, we’re always by your side so you can reclaim your most important asset – time.

Zeniki vs Other Firms
Those with complex wealth often think that a big box “Wall Street” firm or trust company is best for their needs, but the sales-oriented nature at these companies can create many issues. These firms tend to favor high-cost investment products over others and provide cookie cutter solutions in order to maximize corporate profits. They also prioritize getting new clients (that pay more lucrative upfront fees) vs serving the ones they have, leading to poor client service. In short, they focus on their bottom line (not yours).
At Zeniki, we’re never paid a commission, so we have no financial incentive to recommend one product over another. Our only goal is to provide great quality service and find the best solutions for you at the lowest cost.

Zeniki vs Other Advisors
Most financial advisors are wonderful people, but they’re financially motivated to act more like a salesman than a financial expert providing objective advice. Too often, their knowledge and capabilities are limited to the investment products sold by their employer. Anything outside of this arena is often blindly handed off to a third party, or even worse, left unattended.
At Zeniki, we’re never paid a commission and we’re never held captive by the investment products of just one provider. Instead, we’re free to source investments and financial solutions from anywhere around the globe. This independence, and our dedication to high quality service and financial expertise (not sales) ensures that you receive unbiased advice that is most appropriate for you.
Zeniki Wealth
Helps business owners with their actual business. From enhanced financial reporting to value estimates, we help them where they need it most.
Works with your CPA year-round, not just at tax time, to optimize your tax strategies and make sure you’re saving as much as possible.
Proactively assesses your asset and income exposure to threats like lawsuits. Insurance is reviewed for cost, coverage and appropriateness.
Provides robust net worth statements that include all of your assets, liabilities, etc. in one place.
Uses time-tested investing principles (like those of Warren Buffett’s) to proactively take advantage of opportunities and minimize risks.
Serves as an extension of your estate planner, helping you craft your Will, set up trusts, and account for changing laws & circumstances.
Other Advisors
Little to no services provided to the actual business. Advisor often recommends a partial or complete sale so they can manage the proceeds (for a fee).
Checks to see if your return is done. Minimal time & effort is spent on proactive tax planning.
Typically hand you off to an insurance salesman that pushes high-cost products that may or may not be appropriate for you.
Reports just include public stock; key info like illiquid assets, fees, inflation, etc. often missing.
Acts more like robo-advisors, buying and selling stock at predetermined amounts and intervals. Adds little value (but still collects a check).
Hands you off to an estate planner without any assessment of their work product, appropriateness of their recommendations, etc.
“At Zeniki Wealth, our fees are Half the industry average & our services go beyond what “Wall Street” Firms provide”
– Kyle Schlossman
We formed Zeniki to address what we saw as the industry’s shortcomings. Unfortunately, many Big Banks and “Wall Street” Firms are incentivized to push certain products and “solutions” that are great for them, but not necessarily best for the client, leading to biased advice and high fees. There’s also a myopic focus on public stock, leaving many other areas of wealth management unattended.
Zeniki tackles these issues through its commission-free compensation structure (which promotes objective advice) and by proactively managing all facets of our client’s wealth.

Stop Overpaying Your Financial Advisor!
A 1% advisor fee can make all the difference (as the chart shows, it can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over time!). At .5% or less, Zeniki’s investment management fees are less than half the industry average, allowing you to keep more of what’s yours and accelerate your wealth.
Reduce Your Dependency on Your Business or Practice
For many business owners, their business is their retirement plan. But it’s dangerous to put all of your eggs in one basket, because if your business falters, so does your wealth. At Zeniki, we ensure your wealth is diversified and not solely reliant on your business’s success. When you partner with us, you’ll get a team that’s experienced in helping business owners of all shapes and sizes. Whether you need to form, grow or sell your business, you can depend on Zeniki to help guide you through the process.
Stop Putting Off Your Estate Plan:
Procrastination can be costly when it comes to estate planning. Without a proper plan, all of your assets could go through probate, which is a lengthy, expensive and public process. Even after you’ve made an estate plan, the work isn’t over. A marriage or divorce, for example, can render a previously pristine plan ineffective. In our detailed discovery process, always free of charge, we’ll look at your entire estate plan and let you know where your blind spots are.
Don’t Leave Your Assets Unprotected:
Most advisors will help you with investment risks. But the real risks, especially if you are high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth, may be harder to spot. Our holistic approach includes safeguarding your assets from potential threats like natural disasters, lawsuits, inflation, and the ever-changing tax code.
Avoid Expensive Products:
Many “Wall Street” firms and advisors like to push high-cost investment products onto clients because that’s what pays them more (sometimes 5% commissions or more!). But what’s good for them may not be the best for you. At Zeniki, we never earn commissions, so we have no incentive to recommend one product over another. Our only focus is to find what’s best for you at the lowest cost.
Stop Overpaying Uncle Sam!
It’s a dirty little secret that up to 93% of business owners overpay on their taxes. This is because most CPA’s are overwhelmed and just filing returns. As your Personal CFO (and CPA’s ourselves) we’ll serve as a second set of eyes and help to ensure that you pay your fair share, but not a penny more. Explore all the ways we can help you save.
