Managing Director–Wealth Management
Financial Advisor
Financial stewardship for entrepreneurs and business owners
Bayly comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Watching his father over the years, he learned the importance of making every effort to succeed, and his path led him to the US Navy and then onto business school. While he chose not to fill his father’s entrepreneurial shoes, he realized how critical financial knowledge was to the business owner—and how much it could have helped his own father when he finally sold his company. Fast forward 25 years.
“I believe holistic advice is the best advice. That’s why I want to understand my clients’ entire financial picture and work with them for the long term.”
— Bayly Taff
Today, as a Private Wealth Advisor with The Schaefer Taff Team, Bayly has decades of experience serving business owners, executives and their families. While he continues to provide investment insight and oversight, his role is far more vital—he looks beyond client portfolios, works with their other professionals and addresses lifelong financial planning and stewardship. Bayly skillfully simplifies these often complex concepts so clients have the clarity to make more confident decisions about their businesses and their future.
