About Laura

Laura Vaughn is a partner and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioner. Laura’s practice is concentrated to help business owners, independent contractors, and high-income families reach financial independence. Our job is to translate clients’ ideas, dreams, and goals into an attainable road map. We monitor progress and help clients make important financial decisions with confidence. Seeing clients empowered by their finances is by far the most exciting and rewarding part for Laura!

Our process uses creative problem solving, a high level of expertise, and a transparent fee structure to conduct in-depth analysis before any recommendations are made. We provide our clients with a personalized and detailed action plan, and then we review frequently to hold them accountable.

With this level of detail, our team can only accept a select group of new clients per year. Our service is designed to be “white glove” so our clients can focus on their passions and family!

Our ideal client is committed to working in partnership with us for financial progress. Laura runs her practice with an open-door policy, encouraging clients to bounce ideas off her (doesn’t matter how “out there” it is!) and utilize her guidance throughout the year.

To provide a level of service to her clients, Laura has committed herself to professional excellence. Laura holds the distinction of being the first female New Advisor of the Year, awarded by Securian Financial Services in 2011. She was also named a 2017 winner of the American College’s Millennial Advisor Award, recognizing advisors under the age of 35 who have made a significant impact within their profession.

Laura graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and is an avid Longhorn sports fan. She lives in Houston with her husband Chris and pup Blue. She loves traveling to all corners of the globe, escaping Texas’ “winter” to snow ski and playing tennis. She is also an active member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo School Art Committee.
