Crawford Guzinski

Client Relationship Consultant

Growing up in Elma, New York, just outside of Buffalo, I was raised in a close-knit family of five as the middle child between two sisters. I began my education in the Iroquois Central School District, where I was first introduced to stocks, finance, and investing as early as seventh grade. I was immediately captivated. Although my parents were understandably hesitant to let a twelve-year-old begin investing, that early interest sparked years of independent learning.  I immersed myself in books, blogs, articles, and any resource I could find. This helped me build a foundation in finance well before I was formally able to take finance courses in high school.

After graduating in 2022, I enrolled at Canisius University (then Canisius College), choosing to remain in Buffalo and pursue my passion at a highly regarded business and finance institution. Declaring as a finance major from the start, I completed nearly every finance course the university offered while also participating in multiple internships and shadowing experiences. Among those opportunities, Buffalo Financial stood out as the only firm that embodied the close-knit, personal, and family-oriented environment I value. After interning with Buffalo Financial for over a year under the guidance of CEO Jeremy Beck and the advisory team, I was offered a full-time position in the late summer of 2025. Since then, I have been continuously developing my craft, learning from experienced advisors, and strengthening my ability to serve clients with care and precision.

Outside of my work at Buffalo Financial, I value spending time with my father, Peter, my mother, Rebecca, and my sisters, Gabrielle and Meredith. When I am not at home, I am often with my girlfriend, Kylie, or the close group of friends I have maintained throughout my life. Being young in the financial advising industry has given me a unique perspective on the importance of investing not only in one’s finances, but also in oneself. I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals so they can focus on what matters most to them. In my future at Buffalo Financial I strive to support clients through thoughtful guidance, education, and long-term planning, helping them make informed financial decisions aligned with what matters most to them.
