| Friends and clients, After much deliberation, I have decided to step away from financial planning to be at home with my kids, with my last day at Nold Bryant set for May 21, 2026. This decision comes with a mix of gratitude, reflection, and appreciation for a career that has meant a great deal to me. I began advising clients in 2008, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with many wonderful mentors, coworkers, clients, and friends. I have always valued and honored the trust clients place in their advisor and the opportunity to walk alongside them through life’s many events and transitions. My years at Nold Bryant have been the most meaningful and impactful of my career, and I sincerely believe this firm provides the highest level of financial planning in the region. The depth of expertise, integrity, and genuine care for clients here are truly exceptional. It is because of that strength and the people behind it that I feel so confident in this decision and in the continued care clients will receive. This next step for my own family is, in many ways, a reflection of the kind of planning I’ve always encouraged. Every client’s goals are different, but the process of identifying what matters most and building a plan around it is what makes this work so rewarding. Over time, thoughtful financial planning can create confidence, security, and freedom to make meaningful life choices. My hope is that you continue to approach your financial planning with intention, dreaming a little bigger and using your advisory team’s tools and guidance to help you get there. I am so grateful for having been part of the Nold Bryant family. It has been one of the most wonderful privileges of my life. With sincere gratitude and best wishes for each of you, Laura |
