About Dustin Suttle

Dustin Suttle is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and co-founder of Suttle Crossland Wealth Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial planning firm. With more than two decades of experience in the financial services industry, Dustin helps near-retirees, retirees, and business owners make thoughtful decisions about retirement, investments, taxes, estate planning, insurance, and long-term financial strategy.

Dustin earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Troy University, graduating on the Chancellor’s List, and later completed his Master of Business Administration from Columbia College. He also completed his financial planning education through Boston University’s Certificate in Financial Planning program. In addition to the CFP® certification, Dustin holds the Accredited Asset Management Specialist℠ and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ designations.

Dustin is an active member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, known as NAPFA, the leading professional association for fee-only financial advisors. He serves on NAPFA’s Public Policy Committee and the NAPFA West Region Board, where he contributes to conversations around the future of financial planning, fiduciary advice, and the profession’s role in serving the public. He is also a member of the XY Planning Network, a community of independent, fee-only financial advisors.

Dustin believes financial planning should be personal, practical, and comprehensive. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all advice, he works closely with clients to understand their circumstances, goals, concerns, values, and tradeoffs. His planning process is designed to help clients make informed decisions, organize the moving pieces of their financial lives, and adapt as life, markets, tax laws, and priorities change.

A strong advocate for financial literacy, Dustin enjoys helping clients better understand the “why” behind financial recommendations. His interest in financial education has also extended into the classroom, where he previously served as an adjunct professor teaching investments at Scottsdale Community College. His goal is to build long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and thoughtful advice.

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Dustin now lives in Cave Creek, Arizona, with his wife, Eraina. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, and exploring Arizona and beyond in his lifted Lexus GX470. He is also involved in the local community, including his work with the Phoenix Men’s Arts Council, Local First Arizona, and support for charitable organizations throughout the Valley.
