Curtis Crossland is an Arizona Fee-Only financial advisor serving clients locally and across the country.
I'm a Phoenix native and spent years working for large wealth management firms.
I have a strong commitment to lifetime learning, the heart of a teacher, and a retirement planning specialist.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the Graziadio Business School at Pepperdine University, and my Master of Business Administration with Finance Emphasis from Grand Canyon University.
I'm a CFA® charterholder, a CFP® professional, and an Enrolled Agent with the IRS.
I have over a decade of experience helping clients do the following:
- Build a Smarter Retirement
- Tax Plan
- Invest Wisely
- See to Their Family's Future
Near retirement and recently retired investors have a lot to deal with when it comes to things like ACA credits, IRMAA cliffs, tax efficient asset location and unwinding of future tax bombs. Together we'll focus on an income strategy that makes the most sense, and works to align your current and future needs in the most tax efficient way we can.
And while I love helping everyone, I'm the best fit for the following folks:
- Retired
- Near Retirement
- Transitioning Jobs or Career
- Busy Professionals with Families
When I'm not helping clients create their ideal plan, I'm out on an adventure with my wife and our 3 boys, chasing down the perfect craft barbecue, enjoying a weekend of football, or reading a good old fashioned book.
Schedule a call, I would love to get to know you and learn how I can help you on your financial journey!
