About me

My name is Javon Crane. I am a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual! My passion is helping individuals, families, and business owners create a financial plan that aligns with their values, goals, and dreams. I believe financial security isn’t just about numbers—it’s about providing peace of mind, protecting what matters most, and building a future filled with possibilities. I'm committed to helping you get closer to your dreams. When you partner with me, you can expect a judgment-free, pressure-free environment with conversations that will be jargon-free. I strive to provide you the best experience possible.

 

With years of experience in financial planning, wealth management, and risk protection, I take a personalized approach to every client relationship. No two people are the same, so no two financial plans should be either. My team and I take the time to understand your unique situation, whether you’re planning for retirement, growing your wealth, protecting your income, or securing your family’s future.

 

What drives me is seeing my clients gain confidence in their financial decisions. It’s not just about accumulating wealth—it’s about creating options, freedom, and a legacy. I take pride in walking alongside my clients, helping them navigate life’s uncertainties, and ensuring they have a strategy that adapts as life evolves.

 

If you’re ready to take control of your financial future, let’s start a conversation. Together, we’ll build a plan that gives you confidence today and security for tomorrow. Reach out, and let’s make your financial goals a reality.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)

ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
