Brendan Ryan CFP®
FOUNDER, LATER LIFE ADVICE
With over 25 years of specialist experience in the Australian financial sector, Brendan Ryan has dedicated his career to solving the intricate financial puzzles of later life.
After a 20-year tenure at Macquarie Bank, where he founded the Macquarie Aged Care Planning specialist division, Brendan established Later Life Advice to provide families with a clear, expert resource for navigating the transitions into retirement and aged care.
His work is driven by a determination to map the pathways through a dense web of government rules, thresholds, and legislative changes. Brendan understands that when care enters the equation, families are often met with a wall of complexity during an already stressful time.
A Vision for Clarity
Historically, navigating later life meant manual, exhaustive research to ensure no family made a wrong decision or left entitlements on the table. Brendan envisioned a tool that could absorb this complexity.
By matching his deep specialist knowledge with modern technology, he built the entitlemate rules engine.
This tool is specifically designed for the children of those moving into this stage of life. They are often called upon to support their parents and are met with a wall of complexity that must be addressed; otherwise, entitlements are left on the table and stress levels escalate.
We now have the technology to solve the math and rule complexity, and the expertise to offer genuine guidance.
