The Experience Behind the Expertise
With offices in Fargo and Sandpoint, ID, the combined team of 15 includes several CPAs with advanced credentials. Co-founder Mark Schiller is a Detroit Lakes native who has been in public accounting since 2001 and wealth management since 2002, bringing over two decades of combined experience to the firm’s clients. His experience spans both Fargo and Sandpoint, where from 2006 to 2012 he worked extensively with high-net-worth individuals and families in North Idaho.
That exposure sharpened his expertise in advanced tax and estate planning, positioning him to serve Fargo’s community of business owners and affluent families with precision. With dual expertise in both the tax and wealth planning arenas, Schiller and the W&S team bring an uncommon perspective to the needs of business owners, retirees, and high-net-worth families.

Numbers matter, but relationships ensure lasting success.
