Ryan Thomas specializes in helping retiring executives and business owners protect and maximize their wealth during life’s most significant transitions. Whether his clients have spent decades building assets within 401(k)s, stock plans, and pensions or through real estate and private enterprises, Ryan ensures they can exit or retire confidently without overpaying taxes or outliving their money. By providing a clear diagnosis of their current standing, he builds prioritized roadmaps that address taxes, estate planning, and business succession in the right order and at the right time.
With over 20 years in financial services, Ryan is driven by the long-term impact of precise planning—often receiving thanks years later from clients who retired early or saved significantly on taxes due to his guidance. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and also holds the Certified Tax Specialist (CTS®) and Certified Wealth Strategist (CWS™) designations.
Based in Wilmington, North Carolina, Ryan is a devoted husband and the proud father of two daughters. When he isn’t helping clients navigate their futures, he stays grounded by spending time with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, and hitting the waves to surf whenever the opportunity arises.
