Your Trusted Female Financial Advisor

Laney Wealth Management

Welcome to Laney Wealth Management – Your Trusted Female Financial Advisor in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Our Mission at Laney Wealth Management is an unwavering commitment to putting people above profits and helping Arizona families retire with confidence and clarity. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER who is also a working mom and wife, serving Scottsdale and the Greater Phoenix area as a financial advisor, I understand that your financial journey is deeply personal—it’s about your family’s security, your dreams, and the legacy you’ll leave behind.

Our comprehensive wealth management approach goes far beyond your balance sheet. We specialize in retirement planning, Social Security optimization, strategic investment management, estate planning, and the often-overlooked family conversations that bring everyone together around shared goals. Whether you’re navigating complex benefit decisions, protecting what you’ve built, or planning for bucket-list living, our team provides the education and guidance you need to move forward with confidence.

At Laney Wealth Management, we believe that shining a light on potential blind spots creates the clarity you deserve. When you can see your complete financial picture clearly, you sleep better at night—and that’s exactly what we’re here to help you achieve.

Get a Clear Understanding of Your Financial Life

First, we gain a thorough understanding of your current financial situation, goals, objectives, risk tolerance, and the key considerations that should be addressed in your retirement strategy.

Six Fundamental Financial Planning Considerations

Six key financial planning considerations can impact your financial goals now and in the future. The question is not if these will affect your finances, but to what degree. We evaluate your sentiment toward each consideration and quantify the potential effects on your assets over time. This allows us to build customized strategies to help you achieve your financial objectives for retirement.

Longevity

Outliving financial assets as the result of a longer life.

Inflation

Reduction in real purchasing power as the result of increasing cost of living.

Mortality

Loss of financial assets as the result of a partner’s or spouse’s death.

Liquidity

Limited access to assets to meet life’s unexpected financial needs.

Market

Unexpected reduction in the value of financial assets at the time of withdrawal.

Taxes

Decreasing income and assets and/or the impairment of legacy assets from increasing taxes.
