Our Story

Learn why Kraus Capital was founded as an independent, fee-based fiduciary firm and what it stands for.

What we stand for

Everything we do connects back to The Legacy Blueprint and the promise behind it: keep more, grow more, leave more. We are a fiduciary, which means your interests come first, always. We are fee-based, so our advice is not driven by commissions. And we are veteran-owned and independent, with client assets held at Charles Schwab.

A different kind of firm

Kraus Capital was built to solve a specific problem. Most people approach retirement with their finances scattered across accounts and advisors who never coordinate with one another. A broker handles investments, an accountant handles taxes, an insurance agent sold a policy years ago, and no one owns the whole picture. The gaps between those pieces are where retirement security quietly erodes. We exist to close those gaps with one coordinated, written plan and one fiduciary accountable for all of it.

That philosophy shapes how we work day to day. We lead with tax planning because the IRS is most retirees’ largest lifetime expense. We put every recommendation in writing so you always know what the plan is and why. And we build long-term relationships, meeting throughout the year and adjusting as tax law, markets, and your life change, rather than handing you a binder and disappearing. Serving individuals and couples across the Hill Country and greater San Antonio area, and clients throughout Texas and nationally, we keep the experience personal whether you meet us in person or by phone or video.
