Background

About Ryan Benson

I am thrilled to work with Dan Morgan at Independent Financial Planning. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area and attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (2012). I have a BS in Biomedical Engineering (2017) and an MT in Grade 6-12 Mathematics (2018) from the University of Virginia. I also finished a financial planning certificate from Bryant University (2021) and passed the CFP examination in March 2022. I was a secondary school teacher for the past 4 years, and I also grew a successful math tutoring business at the same time. At my core, I ultimately see myself as a teacher and tutor who has a passion for helping people understand finances and mathematics in order to make good decisions and better their lives. My goal at IFP is to improve our service to clients to make sure they have a truly exceptional experience. I will be involved in financial planning, back office operations (taking care of the paperwork, trades, etc.), and ensuring that we will provide financial services you need quickly and efficiently. I know the importance of relationships having taught secondary mathematics and managed a successful math tutoring business for the past 4 years. My relationship with you and your family is the most important part of this job to me. Thus, if you need anything, would like to schedule a meeting, or would like to reach out to share more about what’s going on in your life, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
