The right moves for your financial future

For over 30 years, Steve has helped individuals, couples and families develop a roadmap for achieving their financial goals through listening to their needs, delivering sound advice and providing results-driven investment strategies. Whether your goals center around a worry-free lifestyle in retirement, selling a family-owned business or developing an efficient estate plan, Steve will help you pursue the goals that matter to you most. Every situation is unique, which is why he works to gain a clear understanding of his clients before customizing a financial and investment strategy to help them accomplish their desires.

After 20 years as a Financial Advisor, Steve invited his niece, Laura Moore, to form the Sorensen Moore Group in order to enhance their comprehensive approach to working with clients. Together, they provide leadership in discretionary portfolio management. They proactively manage portfolios by using various levels of cash and other securities to help shield clients against market risk and volatility versus more traditional “buy & hold” strategies. In 2021, Steve and Laura joined UBS Financial Services Inc. where they have access to UBS’ broad array of resources for individuals and privately-held businesses.  

On a personal note, Steve and his wife, Lea Ann have been married since 1989 and have four wonderful children. They enjoy spending time with family and friends. Their interests include exercise, the beach, snow skiing and attending Clemson football games.

Laura Moore joined Steve Sorensen in 2015 to form the Sorensen Moore Group after working in the public relations industry. Together, Laura and Steve offer a holistic approach when providing advice to clients regardless of their life stage or current financial situation. Having come from closely knit families, Steve and Laura place a high priority on helping clients develop and secure their financial legacies. In addition to recommending financial strategies tailored to each client’s goals, they assist in transferring wealth to the next generation. Their process is designed to deliver a customized, consistent experience that goes beyond wealth management to help address client’s life priorities.

Laura is conscientious, professional and quick to respond to requests of all kinds. She strives to make every client contact a positive experience and truly enjoys the personal relationships she has been able to develop with clients over the years. 

As a Greenville native, Laura enjoys being active in the local community. She currently serves on the board of Greenville Women Giving. In the past, she served on the board of the Greenville chapter of Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance and The Rotary Club of Greenville, where she was awarded the 2017-2018 Rotarian of the Year. She was also named one of Greenville’s Best & Brightest 35 and Under in 2018.

Laura and her husband, Andrew, attend and are involved at Grace Church downtown. Outside of work, you can find her spending time with her husband and two young daughters, Eliza and Mallie.
