About
Crystal Capital Management provides financial planning and investment management to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and small businesses, offering services that include cash‑flow, tax, retirement, estate planning and hourly planning engagements. The firm primarily serves individual (non‑high‑net‑worth) clients and bills clients by a percentage‑of‑assets model while also facilitating insurance and annuity transactions for which it may receive commissions.
Investment portfolios are managed on a non‑discretionary basis, with the firm placing trades only after client approval and often operating under a limited power of attorney to execute those approved trades. The firm emphasizes strategic asset allocation using a core‑and‑satellite framework that favors low‑cost, no‑load mutual funds and ETFs, a passive long‑term buy‑and‑hold orientation, and periodic rebalancing.
Distinctive aspects include a combination of fee‑based advisory services with insurance/annuity commission activity and principals who maintain accounting credentials, reflecting an integration of advisory and accounting expertise in client work. It is also notable that, unlike many peers, all managed assets are handled non‑discretionarily, the firm does not vote proxies, and custody and trade execution are left to unaffiliated custodians.

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.
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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
