Ryan Canfield, AIF^®

Ryan has been a valued financial advisor for over 9 years. He works with many individuals and families to pursue their short and long-term financial objectives. He has built a solid practice by caring deeply for his clients and helping them pursue their goals and dreams through financial planning.

When Ryan was young, he had an impactful experience that motivated his interest in helping families with their finances. Ryan has a brother named Derek who has special needs. When they were young, his parents received poor advice from a financial person that caused his brother to lose his eligibility for a government program. This experience drives him to keep learning and work hard every day for his clients, so he can help them make well-informed decisions.

Ryan graduated from York College of Pennsylvania in 2010 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance. While at school, he gained a great opportunity to intern with a very successful advisor. This gave him a jump start in his career as a financial advisor by acquiring valuable knowledge and experience. He acquired his securities license in 2011 and in 2015, he won the Central Penn Business Journal's "40 under 40" award¹. Ryan’s focus on financial planning, helped him build a solid list of dedicated clients. In 2017, he helped start Willowbranch Financial Group with Partners, Brad Paul and CathyOrwan (Retired).

Ryan currently holds his Series 7 and 66 licenses through LPL Financial. He is also licensed to sell annuities, life, long-term care, and disability insurance.  Click here for a full list of services.
