Learn more about our company and our history

CrossPoint Wealth is an independent, fee-only investment advisory firm, which utilizes a comprehensive approach to investment management and retirement planning.  This approach allows us to eliminate potential conflicts of interest that may arise when a firm or advisor is owned by a parent company or who offers proprietary, product-based investment solutions.  We provide objective, unbiased financial guidance based strictly on the needs, values, objectives, and goals of each client.

My Story

Scott Krase
CrossPoint Wealth

TweetSharePinShare

For 18 years I worked for other firms, built portfolios with a wide variety of financial products including mutual funds, ETFs, and annuities.  I ran seminars, dinner meetings, and one-on-one meetings, but it wasn’t my own firm.  I had a burning desire to free myself and truly be an independent, fiduciary advisor to my clients.

Maybe some of you understand how I felt, I came to a cross-point in my career; I could either continue my path of working with other financial firms, spending my time at events and seminars as an employee, or I could run my own practice, share my industry knowledge and experience with investors, and most importantly, spend more time with my wife and two sons.

Ultimately, I knew investment management and retirement planning could be done a better way.  I firmly believe that the best way to share my vision was to create a firm dedicated to helping investors navigate the many “crosspoints” that we all face in our financial journeys.

In addition to my work with CrossPoint Wealth, I am a public speaker and financial educator for various corporations around the country and act as a mentor and coach for the Entrepreneur Program,  IncubatorEdu.Org.
