MEET THE FOUNDER

Cody A. Crawford

Husband. Family Man. Crafter of Retirement Plans

They say money makes the world go around, and to some extent that is very true. But Paul had it right when he wrote "Money Can't Buy You Love". My best friend, soul mate, love of my life, hotter than a firecracker wife, Patricia, is the North Star of our family. My oldest, Adalene, is 7, Sedona, our middle, is 5. And Christian, almost two now, is the little stud of our world. There's no version of "successful" in my life if I didn't get the family part of it right first. I've spent the last 13 years of my life helping individuals and families put all the pieces of their financial puzzle together so they can use money as the vehicle that helps creates true fulfillment, joy and love in their own lives. This is an honor that I'll never take for granted.

Meet the founder

Cody A. Crawford, RICP®, NSSA®

Husband. Family man. Crafter of retirement plans.

I've spent the last 13 years helping individuals and families put all the pieces of their financial puzzle together, so they can use money as the vehicle that creates true fulfillment, joy and love in their own lives. This is an honor that I'll never take for granted.

Background

Cody is a Texas native, and his practice is built around one question: how do you turn a lifetime of savings into a dependable paycheck without overpaying taxes along the way? After building a financial planning practice in Washington State outside Seattle, he returned home to Texas and now leads Retirement Wealth Professionals from Austin. He works with clients across the country, primarily people within about ten years of retirement or already retired.

Family & purpose

Money can't buy love. That's exactly why we plan.

They say money makes the world go around, and to some extent that is very true. But Paul had it right when he wrote "Money Can't Buy You Love."

My best friend, soul mate, love of my life, hotter-than-a-firecracker wife, Patricia, is the North Star of our family. My oldest, Adalene, is 7. Sedona, our middle, is 5. And Christian, almost two now, is the little stud of our world. There's no version of "successful" in my life if I didn't get the family part of it right first.

That's the lens I bring to every plan. Your money is the vehicle. The people you love, and the time you get to spend with them, are the destination.

Straight answers

The questions you should ask any advisor.

No jargon, no hidden fees, no fine print games. If you have a question we didn't answer, ask the AI Guide or book a conversation.

Is RWP a fiduciary?
We act in a fiduciary capacity for our wealth and investment planning, meaning we are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest. That said, we believe the word "fiduciary" has been weaponized and turned into a cute marketing slogan. There are fiduciaries who don't practice holistic, panoramic planning, and that's difficult to square. These distinctions matter. (Please note that insurance products are held to a best interest standard.)
How are you paid?
We don't believe in financial jargon or hidden fees. We're a fee-based firm, which means we get paid for the work we do for you: we're compensated with a percentage of the assets we manage on your behalf. The only exception is when we help you with insurance; in those cases we may receive a commission, which will never be deducted from your premium first. We'll always lay out all the details, so you'll know exactly how we're compensated and can be confident that our advice is always in your best interest. See our fee schedule →
Who holds my money?
Your assets are held by independent third-party custodians, not by our firm. We work with two of the largest and most reputable custodians in the industry, Charles Schwab and Fidelity, so your assets are held securely and separately from our business operations.
Are you independent?
Absolutely, and we think it's one of the most important things about us. No corporate parent, no big company telling us what to recommend. There's no one else to please and no products to push, just honest, straightforward recommendations tailored to your goals.
Who do you work with?
People on the cusp of retirement or already there, who are driven by a clear vision for their next chapter and want a co-pilot to help them get there. Our ethos: we'd rather be all things to a few clients than a few things to thousands.
