Laura Holthaus, MSFP, CFP®, RICP®
Wealth Planner
(816) 648-6700
A devoted financial planner, Laura most enjoys helping women find clarity and confidence during major life transitions, whether after loss, divorce, retirement, or a new beginning.
Her mission is simple: to provide education and direction as you rebuild your financial foundation and pursue your next chapter with confidence.
Laura’s own path to financial planning began early. When she was in high school, her dad enrolled her in Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University through their church and helped her open a Roth IRA soon after. Having someone guide her toward smart financial choices changed Laura’s future, and now, she strives to be that same steady voice for her clients.
Money decisions can feel overwhelming. Laura strives to make the complex simple. Her approach blends compassion with diligence: she listens deeply, honors your pace, and designs a clear plan that helps you move forward with confidence.
Laura began her career at Family Investment Center in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 2008 and served as Investment Advisor and Chief Compliance Officer until 2019. From 2019 to 2021, she worked in philanthropy for the Mosaic Life Care Foundation, then served as Portfolio Manager for Charleston Financial Advisors in Charleston, SC from 2021 to 2023.
She holds bachelor’s degrees in Economics and Business Administration from Missouri Western State University and a Master of Science in Personal Financial Planning from the University of Missouri – Columbia. Laura is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®).
Laura and her husband, Scott live in the country with their children, Cooper, Chloe, and Kate. They attend Wyatt Park Christian Church in St. Joseph, and, when the weather is nice, you can find them four-wheeling, fishing, gardening, or playing in the dirt with their kids. During quiet time, Laura enjoys sewing, crocheting, baking, or reading a good book.
We are excited to share that our registered investment advisor (RIA), Integrated Partners, has been listed in Barron's list of Top 100 RIA Firms for 2024.
Barron’s “Top 100 RIA Firms” ranking is based upon quantitative and qualitative criteria including: regulatory records, client retention reports, assets managed, revenue generated, technology spending, number of clients, size and diversity of staff, placement of a succession plan, and more. Investor experience and returns are not considered. Neither Integrated Partners nor its financial advisors pay a fee to Barron’s in exchange for the ranking.
Data provided by SHOOK® Research, LLC. Data as of 3/31/25. Forbes America’s Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual, and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of the ranking algorithm that includes: client impact, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. SHOOK considered advisors born in 1986 or later with a minimum 4 years as an advisor. Advisors have: built their own practices and lead their teams; joined teams and are viewed as future leadership; or a combination of both. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.
