About Brendan Ryan

The founder of Later Life Advice, Brendan Ryan, has been working in Financial Services for 30 years.

After graduating with an Economics Degree from the University of Sydney, Brendan began a 20 year career at Macquarie Bank.

Whilst working at Macquarie Bank, Brendan completed a graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment and qualified as a Certified Financial Planner in 2002.

Later Life Advice was established 10 years ago with the sole purpose of providing a dedicated and specialised service for Australians working out how to live off their savings.

The idea of a simplified retirement is undeniably enticing. However, the reality is that achieving simplicity in retirement requires effort. There are intricate regulations to understand, coupled with a plethora of government entitlements and systems to decipher. The landscape of investment is ever-changing, and the investment industry is increasingly intricate and lacking transparency. Life inevitably presents hurdles, from health concerns to family needs. And of course, there are the ever-present questions about the duration of retirement and the optimal strategy for one's circumstances.

For over 20 years, I've been deeply engrossed in these challenges. While guiding my clients and ensuring they remain on the right path, I've meticulously examined the rules and choices that older Australians face. I've then taken the insights gleaned and shared them with a broader audience of retirees through newsletters, media appearances, and blog posts.

The culmination of my efforts allows me to offer my clients a clear, tailored perspective on their unique situations, delivering valuable support. While you might not wish to know every detail about retirement, I believe you'd certainly benefit from understanding what's most relevant to you right now, and have comfort you have a resource ready to help as things change.
