What We Offer

People We've Helped

“My husband and I have been clients of North Texas Wealth Management (formerly Ricker Retirement Specialists) for 15 years since retiring, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the management of our money. When goals change, adjustments are made.”

Nita H

“We have been customers for 9 years. Service was initially focused on retirement planning, all of which turned out better than we anticipated. Now that we are retired, the focus is on account review and financial planning to ensure we have a sufficient resource for our future. Thanks to Seth and Mike for the hard work!”

David C

“North Texas Wealth Management was the service I had known I needed for years, without knowing who I needed it from. When I finally got serious about getting professional help in determining when I would be ready to retire, recommendations from co-workers led me to NTX. I’ve been very happy with them. They collected and analyzed my personal data, considered our family goals and priorities for retirement, and then laid out their reasoning for saying that I could really retire anytime I wanted. I did finally retire this past summer and am now working with my advisor at NTX to set up my income plan for the coming months and years. The CEO, Mike Crews, wrote the book “Saturday Everyday”, which is an unusually concise and accessible look at the critical factors that play into successfully preparing for retirement. Give it a read, and also strongly consider NTX for your financial advising needs.”

Steven C

“Yearly review in depth explanations of all investment, modeled the investments to show overtime and options available to us. They took time to check what our ideas for the future might be and suggestion on how to accomplish them. Mist of all they took time to get to know us better. Thank you very much”

Dennis C

“We have been with NTWM for a very long time and cannot be more pleased with Mike Crews and his team. Seth is our financial advisor and is on top of all the latest technology and market changes. They even go above and beyond with tax management!”

Steve B

“I never could have imagined being so comfortable discussing money, debt, retirement, wants and needs! I am currently working with Seth. He is very knowledgeable and honestly has the most calming voice. He listens so intently to you and any concerns you may have. He truly wants to help you achieve your goals. Please folks, if you need financial help/advice, please go see Seth at North Texas Wealth Management. You will be so happy!”

Sherry H

“Wonderful people to work with. Been with them since 2014. We are completely satisfied with their service. They are extended family. Met today with Rob and Maddock. Talked about strategy for our portfolio and suggestions made were right on target. It’s a nice feeling to not have worry about who is managing our retirement. High, highly recommend them.”

John F

“I would highly recommend Rob and North Texas Wealth Management group. I have been with this group for well over 6 yrs and now I am looking forward to retirement the end of next year thanks to Rob and company at NTWM. Give them a call or stop in. As soon as you enter the doors you are welcomed with a smile and very helpful Admin. Thanks Rob and company.”

Dave P

“My husband Dennis and I placed our financial future in the well-qualified hands of the team at NTWM. We know we made the right decision! Mike Crews, Rob Cody, and Lilli Ware are terrific! We have been clients of both Mike and Rob for 10+ years. My husband and I make “decent” salaries but we’re certainly not the 1%… We were concerned that we didn’t have enough money to engage with a Certified Financial Planner, and I was wrong! We receive the guidance we need to understand what our future will look like, and I’m happy to share we know we’ve made the best choice in NTWM”

Maureen F

“My wife and I have been with NTW for 13 years and could not be more pleased with their services. From the very first meeting and now 10 years into retirement, I can say that we are grateful to Rob for keeping us on track with our financial goals.”

Gary G

“I highly recommend North Texas Wealth Management (formerly Ricker Retirement Specialists). I recently retired from a major defense contractor, where I worked with incredibly intelligent engineers who don’t do anything without a thorough, detailed, and complete analysis and assessment. When it came to choosing a wealth & retirement management company prior to my retirement, the co-workers that had just retired or were about to retire, all gave the same recommendation: North Texas Wealth Management. At the time, Ricker’s focus was retirement management. When my wife and I were ready to retire, we met with the company’s CEO, Mike Crews, who drew up an initial plan and handled the account transfers, pension application, and other details. Mike did all the ‘heavy lifting’. More importantly, Mike walked us through the retirement management plan they had established and assured us that our position enabled us to proceed with retiring at that time. Since then, the business has expanded beyond their original focus on retirement management into a more comprehensive wealth management service provider. After our financial / retirement plan was initially established, our plan has subsequently been managed by Robert Cody, one of North Texas Wealth Management’s Certified Financial Planners. Rob has done a fantastic job managing our finances. He meets with us on a regular basis to review our plan, discuss changes, and answer any questions we may have. After being retired now for just over 3 years, we have complete peace and confidence knowing that Rob and the team at North Texas Wealth Management are hard at work ensuring our finances are being professionally managed. We also greatly appreciate the professionalism, assistance, and service provided by Lillie Ware, a Paraplanner with North Texas Wealth Management. Working together with Rob, Lillie has assisted with the management of our plan, going to great lengths to make our experience as a client a positive one. It is always a pleasure to work with Lillie and Rob. If you are in the early years of your career and are thinking that one day you will look into establishing a retirement savings, or develop a financial plan for the road ahead, don’t wait another day. Today is that day. And North Texas Wealth Management has a proven track record for providing the services and guidance you will need. They came highly recommended to me by friends, family, and co-workers that I trust. I highly recommend them and will continue to refer them to others”

“Have ‘worked’ with NTWM for 8+ years and they helped get us ready to retire and then ever since (we retired 3 years ago). Cannot thank NTWM enough.”

Get Started

How We Are Compensated

We are a fee-based1 financial planning and investment firm. Our compensation is determined by how you choose to engage us: fee-for-planning, ongoing subscription, advisory services, brokerage solutions. Regardless, we strive to align our compensation with the best interest of our clients and their unique investment and financial planning needs.

Advisory Services

NTX Wealth is compensated through an annual percentage fee based on the total value of the client accounts we manage.

Case study example: Stephanie has a retirement account from a previous employer, and she wants professional assistance managing that asset. After consulting with her financial planner, she requests that we open an advisory account and invest her retirement savings in one of our managed strategies. Therefore, her fee will be based on the assets that we manage for her.

Fee for Planning

Clients pay a fixed fee for comprehensive financial planning services. This type of engagement does not include any investment management services.

Case study example: A few years into her career as a defense attorney, Layla receives a promotion with a comfortable salary. Still struggling with student loans and just starting to contribute to her 401(k), Layla starts to wonder if she is doing everything, she should be doing to set herself up for a successful future. Since she does not meet the minimum investment amount but still needs ongoing advice, Layla decides on our monthly subscription planning service model.

Brokerage Services

NTX Wealth receives commissions for each transaction conducted within client accounts.

Case study example: Jack currently holds a significant amount of stock from his previous employer’s company, and he is open to holding it for several years. However, he would prefer to have the convenience of holding that investment on the same platform as his other diversified retirement accounts. We can assist him by holding the stock in kind and creating a gradual diversification plan.
