Ben O’Bryan

MCom(FinPlan)
Certified Financial Planner®

Ben O’Bryan is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and manager of the iChart Financial Solutions office in Canberra, ACT.

Ben has worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years. During that time he has become known for his ability to build strong relationships and develop creative solutions for his clients — ones that reflect individual circumstances and financial goals.

After working for some of Australia’s largest financial institutions in Sydney, Ben moved to Canberra in 2011. A few years later he set up his own boutique financial planning business, Canberra Wealth Solutions (CWS), so that he could place greater emphasis on personal service, and deliver higher standards of advice for his clients in Canberra and beyond.

In 2021, Ben merged CWS with iChart Financial Solutions. This exciting venture has allowed him to share expertise and ideas with his fellow business managers, and deliver additional benefits to his existing and new clients.

Ben has a Master of Commerce (Financial Planning) degree from the University of Western Sydney. He is a passionate believer in the professionalisation of his industry, and ensuring all Australians receive reliable financial advice.

Originally from Tasmania, Ben initially trained as a pilot in the Northern Territory. He continues to fly recreationally, and enjoys keeping fit, travelling, and spending time with his partner and their dog — when he’s not doing chores in the garden, that is!
