About

Crew Wealth Management provides financial planning and consulting to business owners, individuals, families, pension and profit-sharing plans, and a range of business entities. The firm delivers written financial plans and ongoing retainer services (Total Wealth Plan, Focus Plan, Annual Retainer and other engagements) and does not manage client assets or offer wrap fee programs.

The adviser’s analysis emphasizes fundamental research and the use of index and actively managed mutual funds and ETFs, with attention to manager tenure, expense ratios, turnover, returns and target asset allocation with periodic rebalancing; it generally recommends longer‑term strategies and does not engage in frequent trading. Implementation of investment recommendations is left to clients, and the firm does not accept discretionary trading authority or custody of client assets.

Distinctive features include a very small client base and team (two advisors serving roughly 15 clients) and a planning-focused compensation model based on hourly or fixed fees rather than percentage‑of‑AUM or ongoing portfolio management, which is uncommon among similarly supported firms. The brochure also discloses that associated persons are registered representatives of LPL Financial and may receive brokerage commissions and 12b‑1 fees (and that supervised persons devote substantial time to LPL‑related activities), creating potential conflicts of interest the firm addresses through its policies and disclosures.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
