His expertise lies in helping clients create and execute plans to secure their financial future, with a focus on retirement planning and personalised advice.
With a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning and completion of the Canadian Securities Course, Ryan brings a wealth of knowledge to his role. His approach enables clients to get the best out of their investments and advice, reflecting his commitment to putting clients' needs first. As a key member of the Freedom Financial Planning team, Ryan has been instrumental in shaping the firm's client-centred focus since its inception in 2003.
From Stocks to Long-Term Strategies: A Career Evolution
Ryan's career began in Canada, where he trained to become a stockbroker. However, he soon realised that his true calling lay beyond just selling products. Ryan pivoted to financial planning when he moved to Australia 25 years ago to seek a more fulfilling path. This transition allowed him to focus on what he loved most: helping people achieve long-term financial independence.
Building Freedom: The Birth of Client-Centered Planning
In 2003, Ryan, along with colleagues Richard and Mark, founded Freedom Financial Planning. Their shared vision was born out of a desire to break free from the constraints of corporate environments that often prioritised profits over people. At Freedom, the team put clients' interests at the forefront, creating a firm where every team member, whether in the back office or client-facing roles, works towards the same goal: ensuring clients achieve their financial objectives.
The Human Touch in a Digital Age
Despite the increasing role of technology in finance, Ryan firmly believes in the irreplaceable value of face-to-face interactions. He emphasises the importance of understanding each client's unique situation through personal contact. This human-centric approach allows Ryan to provide nuanced advice that considers not just numbers but the dreams and concerns behind them. From guiding young families on insurance protection to helping clients in their early twenties plan for home ownership, Ryan tailors his advice to each life stage.
A Complex Approach to Financial Wellness
Ryan's expertise extends beyond mere number-crunching. His approach is holistic, considering factors such as career development, income generation, and long-term stability. He believes that true financial planning is about more than retirement - it's about building a secure and satisfying life at every stage. Through personalised strategies and a deep understanding of his clients' goals, Ryan helps countless individuals and families navigate their financial journey with confidence.
