I am Ryan Furlong, CFP®, a Wealth Advisor at Parkwoods Wealth Partners. My work focuses on retirement planning, charitable giving and legacy planning, and tax-aware financial planning. I have spent more than a decade helping individuals and families understand their financial decisions and build plans that support long-term independence and stability. Early in my career, I saw how confusing and inaccessible financial topics can be, especially for people who never received formal education in personal finance. That experience shaped my commitment to clarity and straightforward communication. I approach financial planning as an educational process, grounded in honesty, careful listening, and an appreciation for how financial choices affect real lives over time. I view financial planning as both a responsibility and a craft. Clear explanations, thoughtful structure, and consistent communication guide how I approach my work and relationships.
