RETIREMENT INCOME CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL®,

CITRMS®, CLTC®

President

Robert (Bob) Ryerson entered the financial industry in 1984 as a broker for Shearson Lehman American Express, and has added various professional certifications and designations through the years as his practice and customer needs grew. He earned the CFP designation in 1991, and founded New Century Planning Associates in 1998, as a comprehensive financial and retirement planning firm.

Over time, as he witnessed the growth of the nationwide identity theft epidemic, he was encouraged to do more research into the subject, and became a Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist (CITRMS®) in 2014. This designation and knowledge helps him implement identity theft protection strategies in his clients’ overall financial plans. His ongoing research in this field led him to write the book “What’s The Deal With Identity Theft? A Plain English Look at our Fastest Growing Crime” in 2016.

In 2019, Bob added the CLTC® designation (Certified in Long Term Care), and most recently, Robert recognized that the tidal wave of baby boomers entering retirement implied a need for expertise in, and a focus on, income generation, as retirement is more of an “income” story than an “accumulation” story for most people. He co-authored a best-selling book on retirement income planning in 2019 entitled “Momma’s Secret Recipe for Retirement Success” and he obtained the highly respected RICP® designation in 2022.

Bob is passionate about helping guide people to a secure and tax-efficient retirement. His study of the baby boomer demographic trends, in concert with the nation’s poor fiscal condition, has led him to concentrate on the issue of longevity risks and the need for reliable and sustainable income streams for retirees. He is enthusiastic about walking people through the various concepts, strategies and steps that will improve their overall position in terms of safety, lifetime income and protection from inflation.

Bob is an experienced estate administrator and advises clients on various aspects of estate and legacy planning, with a focus on asset preservation and distribution planning. In his free time Bob enjoys traveling, reading, teaching, and spending time with his wife, Lisa, and four daughters, Christine, Maggie, Nicole and Genevieve.
