Hi, I'm Ryan Cravitz. I’ve been working in the financial industry for 24 years now. My passion is helping people who are serious about their financial future simplify their financial lives and retire with confidence and peace of mind.
I am an independent Financial Advisor who's passionate about providing holistic retirement planning services for retirees and pre-retirees. We provide strategic income planning, insurance planning, tax planning, investment solutions, and portfolio management. I value an education-based relationship with my clients; I want to make sure you feel empowered to make informed financial decisions that will help you reach your unique financial goals.
In 2011, after a decade spent working at some of the biggest names in the financial planning industry, I realized I would have the greatest impact by opening my own independent financial firm. That has allowed me to continue my work of helping friends, neighbors, my community here in Orange County, California, and other families all over the country achieve financial independence.
I am dedicated to ongoing education. I am a graduate of San Diego State University and hold a Bachelor's degree in political science. I have also obtained the Retirement Income Certified Professional® designation from the American College of Financial Services. The RICP® designation signifies a financial advisor has advanced education, and specialized knowledge to help you navigate all the complexities involved in helping you plan a secure and sustainable retirement.
Throughout the year, I conduct Retirement Planning workshops to help people sort through the complexities that come with retiring, and I help them build a roadmap that will ensure they can retire with confidence. I also host a podcast called Candid Conversations: Retirement Talk with Ryan Cravitz. We discuss all things retirement from Social Security, income planning, investing, taxes, and more.
I was born and raised in southern California, and currently live in Newport Beach. When I'm not designing financial plans you can find me playing beach volleyball, and spending time with my wife Racheal and our six-year old son Cody.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
