Hi, I’m Lauren Estes founder of Allegiant Financial Planning, LLC and a native Memphian. I started Allegiant with one goal in mind - to make financial planning more accessible, without account minimums or hidden agendas. As a Certified Financial Planner™, I’m here to help you make informed decisions and offer recommendations that are always in your best interest.

At Allegiant, we’re completely independent. That means no quotas or sales gimmicks. We have no ties to any specific insurance companies, money managers, or proprietary products. The focus stays where it belongs - on you, your goals, and your future.

While I’m the owner of Allegiant, I’m not doing this work alone. I collaborate with a trusted network of professionals. I am always happy to work with your attorneys or accountants, CPAs, etc. as we make the support system you want.

Outside of financial planning, I’m a creative - an artist and I work with copper and silver, making jewelry and visual art. Art has been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in studios and galleries thanks to my dad, who is also an artist. It’s something I returned to seriously a few years ago, and it helps me stay balanced and grounded.

I currently serve on the board of Spay Memphis as Secretary. Memphis has an enormous unwanted pet population and we strive to change that. I have served on several boards over the years, including the Financial Planning Association of Greater Memphis, and Project Green Fork, and truly value giving back and helping others.

I also believe that everyone is creative in their own way, you just have to give yourself the chance to express it. At Allegiant, you’ll find thoughtful financial planning with room for your creativity, your values, and your vision for the future.
