About Us

Four Foundational Promises To You

We started over 30 years ago with one client, a simple office, and a passion for understanding each client’s financial concerns and dreams. This passion led us to establish four foundational principles built upon our commitment to honor God and serve His people. We are humbled that our clients have entrusted us with $300MM in assets (2/18/25) and we are thankful these promises help them find the confidence they need in their wealth.

Independent & Objective

At Burgdorf, we're committed to doing things differently. We've aligned ourselves with a parent company that supports our independence and allows us to prioritize your best interests. Our objective and comprehensive advice is free from conflicts of interest, ensuring our recommendations align with your goals.

Comprehensive Planning

We believe that what determines whether or not a client is successful in reaching their financial goals is a personalized and comprehensive wealth management strategy. You deserve better than a cookie-cutter plan—that's why we take the time to understand all we can about your goals and timelines.

Platinum-Level Service

We prioritize providing exceptional service to clients at all asset levels. We’re supported by a well-resourced team that ensures you always feel like our top concern and that you receive platinum-level service. This commitment reflects our Biblically-based belief in serving others with integrity and care.

Commitment to the Cutting-Edge

We allocate a significant portion of our budget to ensure our advisors can provide clients with world-class money managers, top-end financial planning tools, and cutting-edge asset-visibility and management tools. Feel confident knowing you're given the most robust, user-friendly resources the industry has to offer.

Transparent Planning & Consulting Costs

The initial appointment is complimentary. After meeting with Mark, he and his team will have a good idea of what the next steps should be and will formulate a plan of action with your input.

If a comprehensive plan is warranted, our normal hourly fee is $200.00 but is capped at $2000.00 for the initial plan. The plan will have very clear action steps to follow that may involve areas of: budgeting and cash flow management, tax planning, estate planning, retirement planning/projections, insurance analysis, investment recommendations, and college savings plans.

If investment services are necessary, Mark will disclose any additional costs at that time.

Sharing God's Love by Lending a Helping Hand

Sharing God's Love by Lending a Helping Hand

We believe true wealth is about making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. To better serve the community, Mark and Tina Burgdorf founded Helping Hands Midwest, a nonprofit that helps with minor indoor and outdoor home repairs and landscaping clean-up. Beyond our team's helping hands, a percentage of revenue at Burgdorf Wealth Managers is directed toward supporting the organization in its mission to honor God by serving others.

Built On Our Values, Driven By Our Purpose

At Burgdorf, our core values are the foundation of everything we do, guiding us as we help clients build confidence, pursue their goals, and honor their own values through thoughtful financial stewardship.

Maximize Your Social Security Benefits

96% of people don’t get all of the Social Security benefits they’re entitled to receive. Consequently, the average household loses $111,000 in potential income because they haven’t optimized their Social Security benefits claims. This is why we’ve reenvisioned our retirement planning services to include an in-depth Social Security Analysis with our in-house Registered Social Security Analyst®. Our specialist will conduct an initial assessment of your situation, run an analysis on viable options, then help you select the most appropriate strategy to maximize your Social Security benefits. This will be seamlessly incorporated into your overall retirement planning strategy. Let us help guide you to greater confidence in your Social Security benefits. 

This information may not be relied on for the purpose of determining your social security benefits or eligibility, or avoiding any federal tax penalties. You are encouraged to seek advice from your own tax or legal professional.
