As a self-made entrepreneur, Laura J. LaTourette, CFP®, has built her career in financial services on her own terms. She has learned to repeatedly channel her strength and independence to achieve her goals in life. It is this same spirit of independence that Laura seeks to bring out in her clients, encouraging them to develop a clear understanding of their gifts, conquer their fears, dream big, and live fully so they leave a legacy of love. Laura’s practice is focused on financial life planning, wealth management, and legacy planning. She’s grateful to serve women, allies, and LGBTQ clients nationwide. Laura is deeply committed to elevating inclusion, belonging, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IBDEA) priorities in the financial services industry; she currently serves as a CFP Board Ambassador, a SAGE volunteer, where she guides colleagues on their journeys from allies to advocates. Laura lives on a small farm with her wife Susan at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. She's an avid canner, loves gardening and tending to her bonsai and an array of animals, including llamas. She's a proud grandma and strives to live life fully every day.
