About Melissa Hofmeister

Meet Melissa

Melissa grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin, where life was simple, values ran deep, and her self-employed parents taught her that even the smallest financial decisions can have a big, lasting impact. That early spark turned into a lifelong passion — and today, she combines that hands-on experience with professional know-how to make money make sense for real people and real lives.

Now a proud resident of Muskego, WI (and an even prouder UW-Platteville alum), Melissa works with clients across the country — from big cities to backroads — helping them build a life rooted in their values.

She’s also deeply invested in her community and faith. Melissa serves on the board of Catapult, a nonprofit dedicated to launching new churches and equipping leaders to create lasting impact. Whether it’s finances or faith, Melissa loves helping people build something meaningful from the ground up.

When she’s not guiding others toward financial confidence, you’ll find Melissa organizing empowering women’s events, speaking onstage alongside her pastor husband, or playing quarterback in the backyard with her three energetic boys.

Each week, Melissa helps people uncover what matters most and chart a financial path that supports their unique journey. She and her team make it simple, practical, and personalized — so you can focus more on the people and causes you care about.

Melissa and her team would love to help you get started: Book a meeting by Zoom or an Book a meeting in our Muskego Office
