Meet Laura Warta, CFP®, ChFC®
Leading with Heart. Planning with Purpose.
​
I’m Laura Warta, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Financial Consultant®, and I’ve spent the past 11 years helping women navigate their financial journeys with clarity, confidence, and intention.
As the founder and lead planner of Laura Warta, a division of Keating, I specialize in working with women who are widowed, divorced, business owners, or the primary financial decision-makers in their households. My clients value a thoughtful, comprehensive planning process—whether they're approaching retirement or growing a business as a young professional.
​
Based in Manhattan, Kansas, I work with clients locally and across the U.S., providing personalized guidance that meets them where they are and supports where they want to go. I take a collaborative approach to planning, often working closely with my clients’ attorneys, accountants, and other trusted professionals to ensure every piece of the puzzle fits together seamlessly.
​
More than anything, I believe in financial planning that honors who you are—your values, your goals, your life. My team and I are here not just to manage the numbers, but to be a trusted partner and sounding board every step of the way.
​
Outside of work, I’m a runner, traveler, and garden enthusiast. I’m married to my husband, Ben, and we’re raising our son, Parker, in the heart of the Flint Hills. Giving back is important to me—I proudly serve on the boards of Girls on the Run of the Flint Hills and the Daniel Keating Foundation.
If you're looking for a planner who combines deep expertise with genuine care, I’d love to connect.
