Laura I. Rotter, CFA, CFP is the founder of True Abundance Advisors, a fee-only financial life planning firm. Laura runs a unique firm built on the belief that true abundance comes when we create meaning with our money. Her meetings are a safe space for her clients to explore what they value and what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. Together, they develop and implement a plan that broadens the concept of “investing” beyond financial assets to another scarce resource: time. Laura had a successful career on Wall Street, managing money for institutional investors, including Citicorp and Para Advisors. Her definition of abundance shifted, and she realized that she was using her life to make money, rather than using her money to make a life. She is drawn to work with others navigating a big life transition, and who are seeking purpose in their lives.

I educate and empower international families and single women for financial success in a non-judgemental and personal way. I founded GreenLife Advisors in 2018 to transform the typical financial advising relationship into one that genuinely serves clients with non-judgemental and personalized experiences tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Our focus is helping families—many are first-generation Americans or recent immigrants—get organized and set up for long-term financial success. My clients come from widely diverse backgrounds. I also welcome LGBTQ+ clients and provide a welcoming environment. I respect and value each family. Everything we do, from our services to operations to outreach, ladders up to this purpose. What inspires me most is the personalized experience we've created. While my degrees in business and finance allow me to handle the analytical details, my real passion is spending time with clients and guiding them toward the future they envision. I am uniquely positioned to help you and your family through both my personal experiences and the knowledge gained from working directly with families like yours. I also understand working parents' time demands and needs, having been one myself for years. I’m a mother of two teenagers, one of whom is part of the LGBTQ+ community. I hold the credentials and have the education to help: * Certified Financial Planner™ professional. * Chartered Financial Analyst designation. * Masters of Business, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Concentration in Finance. * Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science, University of Rochester.

I work with individuals who value their time and need tailored financial advice. I help simplify decisions, optimize strategies, and provide clear guidance to help clients reach their financial goals. Specialized Services: 1.

Retirement Planning & Investment Management: Preparing for retirement requires clarity and strategy. I help clients determine how much to save, where to invest, and how to build a tax-efficient portfolio. My approach suits: those unsure about how to save or invest for retirement. Individuals who find investing emotionally challenging. Busy professionals seeking low-cost, effective investment strategies. No minimum level of assets is required to work with me. Common Questions I Help Answer: How many ISOs can I exercise before hitting AMT? What should I prioritize saving, investing, or paying off debt? What are the tax consequences of major financial decisions? How much can I afford to spend on a home without affecting other goals? About Me: I was born in Sweden, raised in South America, and settled in NYC after working internationally. My wife is a neurologist, and we are raising our family while pursuing our careers. Before starting Wealth Habits, I worked in asset management, tax, and consulting. Education & Credentials: CFP®, CPA, MBA from NYU Stern, Master’s in Business Taxation (USC), BSE from the University of Pennsylvania My Beliefs: Financial advice should never be one-size-fits-all.
