Conor Bryant
CFP^®, CFF^®
During his first financial services job in the shareholder services department of Eaton Vance in Boston, Conor acted as the last line of defense for clients desperate for advice during the 2008 financial crisis. He could not believe there were so many people who could not get in contact with the advisor that "sold" them the mutual fund they were calling about, and he knew he wanted to change that. Although he watched some of his colleagues become frustrated working with naive investors, Conor thrived in that environment and enjoyed educating shareholders while "talking them off the edge." That was when his true passion for the financial services industry was born. He had a strong and consistent desire to help people that continued to point him in the direction of financial advising.

In January 2014, Conor joined his uncle, Mark Bryant, at Bryant Asset Management as a Registered Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network. In this role, Conor advises a growing group of his own clients as well as assisting the firm with research, marketing, and client portfolio construction. Conor has earned one of the highest-level professional designations in financial services as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^™ professional. Conor also holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL FIDUCIARY Designation.

Conor is licensed in the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, MA, MT, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, SC & VA
