The Laurel Wealth Harmony™ Process
Your Journey to Financial Confidence & Flexibility
Drawing from over 25 years of helping clients achieve financial confidence and flexibility, we’ve developed our unique Laurel Wealth Harmony™ Process—a trademark that reflects our distinctive approach to aligning your finances with what matters most in your life, supporting your desired lifestyle now and creating a foundation for your future.
Step 01
Connect & Listen
During our initial meetings, we focus on understanding you—your story, your financial planning goals, wealth management needs, and long-term vision. What matters most to you? What gives you the most joy and pleasure today? What might your ideal life look and feel like? We listen for the heart of the matter to understand not just your financial situation, but your hopes and aspirations.
Step 02
Explore & Envision
Drawing from our decades of expertise, we’ll help you explore possibilities for your future that you may not have considered. You’ll gain insights into opportunities that align with your goals, potentially discovering new pathways that inspire and excite you. Our experience will help expand your vision of what’s possible while staying true to what matters most to you.
Step 03
Design & Align
As a client, you will work with a team of highly credentialed experts (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, Certified Public Accountants, and Masters in Taxation) who will craft your comprehensive financial strategy. Your investment management, desired income, tax planning, risk management, and gifting & estate planning will all be aligned with your personal vision and values. We will help clarify the options available to you, empowering you to make decisions that align with your goals. Our support and guidance will simplify the implementation process, giving you the freedom to live the life you desire.
Step 04
Coordinate & Implement
Your customized plan will be seamlessly coordinated with your trusted advisors—your accountant and attorney. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that our high team-member-to-client ratio ensures meticulous attention to every detail of your plan.
Step 05
Monitor & Enhance
Your investments will be proactively managed to enhance after-tax returns and income, strengthening your financial confidence and flexibility. As your life and aspirations evolve, and as investment markets and tax laws change, your financial plan will be regularly adjusted to stay aligned with your goals.
Step 06
Nurture & Grow
Throughout your journey, you’ll have regular meetings and quarterly check-ins to ensure your plan continues to serve your evolving needs. Together, we’ll explore what inspires you, what you’d like to achieve, and where your values are leading you. As your life and aspirations unfold, you’ll have the confidence of knowing every aspect of your financial plan is carefully tended to, supporting what’s most meaningful to you and bringing you enjoyment, peace, and fulfillment.
Hear What Our Clients Say:
"In the 18-plus years that I have been a client with Laurel Wealth Planning, I have grown to appreciate the hard work and dedication Laura Kuntz and her staff have provided.
They navigated me through my limited knowledge of financial planning and investing. They were patient and kind, as well as thoroughly professional. As the years have gone by, I have learned so much and am grateful for their diligence in managing my portfolio. They listen carefully to what your goals are and tailor their knowledge to your needs.
My funds weathered a divorce, the 2008 recession, and COVID, due to the guidance and expertise of Laurel Wealth Planning. I am confident that I can retire comfortably.
Mallory Kretman has gone above and beyond in her efforts to help me gain financial security. She is at the ready with answers to any questions and is reliably prompt in helping to resolve any issues. I have grown to trust her instincts and knowledge implicitly.
As the years have passed and I have witnessed other firms' failures to manage their clients, I am so grateful for having such a top-notch team guiding my financial future."
