Nicole Meihofer

Nicole Meihofer’s approach to wealth management was shaped not only by her 10+ years of experience in the financial industry but also by personal milestones that made her rethink what true financial planning should be. She believes the best strategies don’t just secure the future. They also make room for joy, freedom, and living well today.

Nicole began her career working with high-net-worth families at Merrill Lynch, where she gained firsthand experience navigating the emotional and strategic complexities of family wealth. From there, she co-founded a boutique wealth management firm in Chicago before joining IHT Wealth Management. Today, Nicole partners with professionals, entrepreneurs, and inheritors to help them grow their wealth with intention.

A pivotal moment in Nicole’s life came in 2013 when her mother passed away unexpectedly at age 57. That loss deeply influenced how Nicole thinks about planning. It reminded her that longevity into retirement is never guaranteed, and life doesn’t always follow a spreadsheet. This insight became foundational to the way she now supports her clients, focusing on values, clarity, and the balance between long-term success and present-day fulfillment.

Outside of work, Nicole lives in the northern suburbs of Chicago with her husband, Kevin, and their two children, Mara and William. A lifelong learner and champion for health, she spends her downtime outdoors, exploring nature with her kids or diving into topics like AI and preventative wellness. Her family often travels to Colorado with her family to visit her sister, hike, and enjoy a quiet getaway in the mountains. She values making memories with family and friends and every day priority.

Nicole is a member of the Friends of Downtown Glenview, a collaborative nonprofit group of volunteer residents and businesses with a mission to create a vibrant downtown district in Glenview, IL. She is also a member of the Entreprenista League, where she supports new entrepreneurs who are building and scaling their businesses.
