About Skyline Financial Group

Skyline Financial Group was formed in 2026 with a shared vision of creating a practice rooted in service, integrity and personal connection. As a new team built on decades of combined experience, Skyline was created to offer clients a more thoughtful and compassionate planning experience—one that meets people where they are and helps them move forward with confidence. We believe financial guidance should feel personal, practical and grounded in what matters most to each client.


Our Values

Integrity

Ethics

Service

Compassion


We believe financial planning is about more than numbers—it is about helping people feel supported, informed and prepared for the future. From major life transitions to long-term retirement planning, we strive to offer guidance that is masterful, personalized and centered on the people we serve.


Community Outreach

At Skyline Financial Group, we believe financial guidance should support not only individual goals, but also the communities our clients care about most. Our team is passionate about service and generosity, and we value opportunities to connect clients with causes that matter to them. Through volunteerism, charitable support and community involvement, we aim to help people use their resources in ways that reflect their values and create meaningful impact.

Ingrid Schimnoski

Ingrid Schimnoski

Ingrid Schimnoski's approach is shaped by empathy, service and a genuine desire to make financial planning feel more approachable and less overwhelming.


Ingrid believes one of the most meaningful parts of this work is helping clients shoulder the legwork and planning details they may not have the time, knowledge or energy to manage on their own. Her goal is to simplify the process, provide clarity and create a plan that clients can revisit and adjust with confidence over time.


Before entering financial services, Ingrid built a rich and varied career as a professional violinist which has provided her a distinctive understanding of the financial realities facing musicians, creatives and independent professionals. That experience fuels her passion for helping people who may not have access to traditional corporate benefits build retirement and financial security on their own terms


Born and raised in Oak Park and now living in Forest Park, Ingrid is active in her community through the Rotary Club, the Oak Park Chamber of Commerce and local outreach efforts such as supporting Beyond Hunger. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her twin daughters and performing with Maggie’s Farm, Straw Daddy, and the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest.
