Liz Landau, CFP®, MBA, MA
Liz is a life-long student and educator. She graduated Magna Cum Laude in Economics, Phi Beta Kappa, from Harvard College and received an MBA in Finance from The Columbia Business School. She worked for several years at McKinsey & Company, a leading global management consulting firm before choosing to focus on her family. During her time raising her four children, she was an active board member at several community organizations and held multiple lay leadership positions at her children’s school. She also developed and taught a high school elective on entrepreneurship and financial literacy. In 2012, Liz became a student again and earned a Masters degree at New York University in International Political Economy. Her interest in the global financial markets and macroeconomics led her to High Frequency Economics, a global macroeconomic research firm, where she served as its Interim Chief Operating Officer and Director of Business Development.
Liz ultimately realized that she wanted to directly help individuals and families and chose a new path: a career as a personal financial planner.
She completed a CFP Board approved financial planning program at New York University and established Landau Advisory LLC, a fee only financial planning firm, to fuse her academic interests, analytical skills and her passion for educating and counseling people about their personal finances. Liz views her role as listening to, and partnering with, her clients to provide professional, independent, caring, and economical advice that will guide and empower them to make informed decisions so that they achieve their financial and life goals.
Liz focuses her practice on individuals and couples in their 20s and 30s, helping clients understand and organize their financial lives and navigate, clarify, simplify and prioritize the maze of financial choices that are available. Although she focuses on Generation Y, she serves clients of any age and regardless of how much money someone makes or has to invest. She believes strongly that everyone can benefit from financial planning and that objective, high quality and individualized advice should be accessible to all.
