Services

Comprehensive financial guidance, coordinated

Every service we offer works together as part of an integrated strategy — because your financial life doesn't exist in silos.

Wealth Management

Your investments should serve your life — not the other way around. We build and manage portfolios that reflect your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline, adjusting as your circumstances evolve.

  • Custom portfolio construction and asset allocation
  • Ongoing monitoring and rebalancing
  • Tax-efficient investment strategies
  • Alternative and fixed-income solutions

Financial Planning

A financial plan isn't a binder that sits on a shelf. It's a living strategy that connects every aspect of your financial life and adapts as your world changes.

  • Retirement income projections and planning
  • Education funding strategies (529 plans, UTMA)
  • Cash flow and budgeting analysis
  • Estate planning coordination
  • Insurance needs assessment

Tax Strategy

As a CPA, Kelly doesn't treat taxes as an afterthought — they're woven into every decision. Year-round planning, not just April preparation, means fewer surprises and more savings.

  • Individual and business tax preparation
  • Tax-loss harvesting and gain management
  • Roth conversion analysis and planning
  • Charitable giving strategies
  • Business entity structure optimization

Retirement Planning

Retirement is the biggest financial transition most people face. We build sustainable income strategies that balance growth, risk management, and tax efficiency to support the life you've earned.

  • Social Security optimization timing
  • Retirement income distribution strategies
  • Healthcare cost planning and Medicare navigation
  • Required Minimum Distribution management
  • Legacy and inheritance planning

Client Management

We believe the best financial advice happens through ongoing relationships, not annual check-ins. Proactive communication and coordinated team management keep your plan on track.

  • Regular portfolio and plan reviews
  • Coordination with attorneys, CPAs, and insurance advisors
  • Life event response (job changes, inheritance, health events)
  • Proactive outreach on market and tax law changes

Investment Advisory

Securities offered through Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. As an independent advisor, Kelly recommends investments based solely on your best interest — never driven by proprietary products or sales incentives.

  • Independent, fiduciary investment advice
  • Access to broad market of investment solutions
  • Risk-appropriate portfolio design
  • Regular performance reporting and transparency
The Lautus Difference

Why clients choose us

Dual Expertise

Most advisors are either investment-focused or tax-focused. Kelly is both — a CFP® and CPA who sees the connections others miss and builds strategies that account for both dimensions.

Fiduciary Always

We don't switch between fiduciary and suitability standards depending on the product. Your best interest governs every recommendation, every time.

Independence

No proprietary products, no sales quotas, no conflicts of interest. We recommend what's right for you, sourced from the broadest range of options available.

Personal Service

We intentionally limit our practice size. When you call, you reach Kelly — not a call center. Your advisor knows your name, your family, and your goals.
