The Herbig Wealth Management Story

Advice built on relationships, not transactions.

Tait started Herbig Wealth Management with a straightforward premise: most people deserve better financial advice than they're getting. Too often, advisory relationships are product-driven, reactive, and impersonal. Tait set out to build something different.

At Herbig Wealth Management, every client works directly with Tait — not a junior associate or a call center. Every plan is built from scratch around your specific situation, goals, and values. And every recommendation is made with your best interest as the only consideration.

This approach is made possible by operating as a fee-only, independent registered investment adviser. There are no commissions, no product quotas, and no conflicts of interest. Just clear-eyed, comprehensive advice.

Tait's passion for the stock market started around the kitchen table in Fredericksburg. Today, that passion drives a rigorous, research-based investment process — one that has helped clients navigate complex tax situations, concentrated positions, retirement transitions, and major life events.

Our Philosophy

What we believe about great financial advice.

01

Relationships First

Financial planning only works when your advisor truly knows you — your goals, your fears, your family, your timeline. We invest in that relationship before anything else.

02

Tax Efficiency Is Alpha

After-tax, after-fee returns are what matter. Proactive tax strategy — harvesting, Roth conversions, asset location — compounds quietly and powerfully over time.

03

Simplicity Wins

The best financial plan is one you understand and can stick to. We cut complexity where it doesn't add value and explain everything in plain language.

04

Discipline Over Prediction

Nobody consistently predicts markets. We build portfolios designed to survive volatility, harvest opportunities within it, and compound reliably over decades.

05

Proactive, Not Reactive

We reach out to you when something changes — in your life or in markets. You shouldn't have to call us to find out if something matters for your plan.

06

Fee-Only Independence

We earn no commissions. Every recommendation is driven by what's right for you — not by what pays us more. That independence is non-negotiable.

Beyond the Office

The person behind the plan.

What's in your gift box?
"A picture of the family, Astros or Texas Tech tickets, a cast iron skillet, and steaks."
Who's most impacted your life?
"My family. From my mom instilling helping others, to my dad and grandparents teaching me about business and the stock market."
Favorite tradition?
"Cooking a good meal and trying out new mixed drinks with family and friends."
One item you can't live without?
"My cast iron skillet — or if any size, my grill. I love to cook for people. It's the way I show love."
One thing everyone should add to their routine?
"A 30–45 minute walk or run. It's the best self-care anyone can do."
Fictional character for a day?
"Jason Bourne in Europe. Even though it would be scary — it would be exciting."
