Who we areA different kind
A different kind
of financial firm.
deMAURIAC was founded by Marigny deMAURIAC, a Certified Financial Planner with a master's degree in counseling and over a decade in financial services. That blend of technical expertise and human insight is rare in this industry. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Money is never just money. It is the life you have lived, and the one you are building.
We are an independent, fee-only advisory firm in New Orleans, serving women nationwide through the financial moments that reshape everything - divorce, retirement, a sudden windfall, a business sale, a loss.
While women are at the center of our practice, we welcome clients of all gender identities who value integrated, life-centered planning.

The creative, artist, or athlete navigating uneven income and life transitions
Your income arrives in waves: a windfall season, a quiet stretch, a royalty check out of nowhere, a contract that changes everything. The transitions you face are rarely just about career. They are about identity, location, relationships, and what comes next when the spotlight shifts. We help you build a financial foundation that bends with those rhythms rather than breaking under them, so you can move through each phase with clarity and confidence.
