Founded May 1, 1995, DiMeo Schneider & Associates, L.L.C. is based in downtown Chicago. Prior to the founding of the firm, Bob DiMeo and Bill Schneider spearheaded Kidder, Peabody & Co.'s institutional consulting effort in the Midwest. Kidder, Peabody, & Co. was sold, and Bob and Bill elected to pursue their dreams by forming their own firm. Their entire group and nearly all their clients joined them.

The Wealth Office™ of DiMeo Schneider & Associates, L.L.C. was created in response to the requests of executives and board members of institutional clients who wanted the disciplined, successful approach for their personal investment assets.  This group now represents a sizeable portion of the firm's initiative.

In 1995, Bob and Bill wrote their first book, Designing a 401(k) Plan. Their second book, Asset Management for Endowments & Foundations, was published by McGraw Hill in 1997. The Practical Guide to Managing Nonprofit Assets, was published by John Wiley & Sons in April 2005.

In 2000, DiMeo Schneider & Associates, L.L.C. became a part of National Financial Partners (NYSE symbol - NFP), a diversified financial services group with over 180 companies. The business model for NFP allows each firm to continue to operate in an independent fashion and to encourage the same entrepreneurial spirit that made each successful.
