About Ben Batiste

Hi, I'm Ben Batiste. I founded Crestmark Wealth Group to provide a more coordinated and straightforward approach to financial planning. My background includes service in both the U.S. Marines and the U.S. Army, where discipline, preparation, and strategic thinking were essential. Those principles now shape my approach to wealth planning.

I work with high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, and military professionals who have complicated financial lives and need everything brought together into one clear strategy. My work spans coordinated financial planning, investment management, tax strategy, and estate guidance, because true financial clarity requires all of these pieces working together, not in silos.

Many successful professionals have complicated financial lives. I bring everything together into one clear strategy so you can focus on what matters most. Whether you are an entrepreneur navigating taxes, income planning, and long-term wealth strategies, a family who wants coordinated planning across investments, taxes, and estate strategies, or a disciplined individual preparing for long-term financial security, my goal is the same: to design a strategy that integrates investments, tax planning, and long-term planning, then put that plan into motion with ongoing oversight — adjusting as your life, goals, and market conditions change.

As a veteran, I bring the same discipline and mission-focused mindset to every client relationship that I carried through my years of military service. You will always have a valued advisor to guide decisions as life evolves.

About Crestmark Wealth Group

Most families don't lose money in the market. They lose it quietly, in the gaps between their taxes, their accounts, and their plan. We help you find it, keep it, and put it to work.

Crestmark Wealth Group provides coordinated financial planning, investment management, tax strategy, and estate guidance for high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, and military families.

We believe that many successful professionals have complicated financial lives — and we bring everything together into one clear strategy so our clients can focus on what matters most. Our process is built around three steps: we learn about your finances, goals, and priorities; we design a strategy that integrates investments, tax planning, and long-term planning; and we put your plan into motion with ongoing oversight, adjusting as your life, goals, and market conditions change.

Crestmark Wealth Group is a veteran-owned business based in Parker, Colorado. Our strategic wealth guidance is focused on tax efficiency — helping clients reduce tax exposure and preserve long-term wealth through transparent, data-driven guidance tailored to their financial goals. We coordinate with accounting professionals and estate attorneys to ensure every dimension of your financial life is properly structured and aligned.

Knowledgeable, Dedicated, and Truly in Your Corner

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Jun 24, 2026
Working with Ben has been one of the best decisions I have made for my family. He helped us with generational wealth, tax planning, and retirement planning, and he took the time to truly understand our situation before recommending anything. What sets him apart is his depth of knowledge and how much he genuinely cares. He educates you every step of the way so you actually understand your own plan. Never once did I feel like he was looking out for anything other than my best interest. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly in your corner, Ben is your guy.

FAQs

What does Ben Batiste do?
Ben Batiste is a financial planner. He is unique in that the typical adviser manages your money and treats the plan as an afterthought. Ben works the other way around: he builds the plan first and manages money in service of it. Think of your money as the engine and the plan as the map. Ben starts with the map, then coordinates everything else (taxes, protection, estate, investments) around where you actually want to go. Read More FAQs
Is Crestmark a fiduciary?
Yes. Advisory services are provided under a fiduciary standard, which means we are obligated to act in your best interest. That is not a marketing line. It is the standard that governs every recommendation we make. Read More FAQs
How is Crestmark compensated?
We are fee-based. Our compensation should line up with your outcomes, not with the products we recommend or the number of transactions we generate. When an insurance or commission-based solution is genuinely the right tool for your plan, we tell you plainly and show you why. There are no hidden commissions and no incentives steering the advice, and you get full fee disclosure before you commit to anything. Read More FAQs
Who does Crestmark typically work with?
Families and pre-retirees are our core practice, along with younger professionals getting an early start, business owners, and military families. We also serve families whose wealth carries real complexity through a dedicated Private Wealth tier. What they share is a desire for one coordinated plan and a real relationship, not a product sale.
