What We Do

Comprehensive financial guidance

Every client relationship begins with understanding your complete financial picture, then building a coordinated strategy across all areas.

Wealth Management

Portfolio construction and investment management aligned with your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline. We monitor and adjust as your life evolves.

Financial Planning

Retirement projections, education funding, estate planning, and cash flow analysis. A roadmap that connects today's decisions to tomorrow's outcomes.

Tax Strategy

Year-round tax planning, preparation, and optimization. As a CPA, Kelly integrates tax strategy directly into your financial plan, not as an afterthought.

Client Management

Ongoing relationship management with regular reviews, proactive communication, and coordination with your attorneys, CPAs, and insurance professionals.

Retirement Planning

Distribution strategies, Social Security optimization, healthcare planning, and income projections to ensure your retirement is sustainable and comfortable.

Investment Advisory

Securities offered through Cambridge Investment Research. Independent advice without proprietary products, always acting in your best interest.

Our Philosophy

Long-term relationships, not transactions

At Lautus Wealth Advisory, we believe that meaningful financial planning requires deep understanding and genuine trust. We take the time to know your values, your family, and your aspirations.

The word Lautus means elegant, refined, and well-prepared. It reflects our commitment to building financial strategies that are thoughtful, thorough, and built to last.

Fiduciary Standard

We are legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest at all times, not just when it's convenient.

Integrated Approach

Tax planning and investment management work together. As both a CFP and CPA, Kelly sees the full picture others often miss.

Proactive Communication

We reach out before you have to ask. Market shifts, tax law changes, and life events all trigger a conversation.

Transparent Fees

Clear, straightforward compensation. You always know what you're paying and what you're getting.
