Ryan M. McConnell is a Vice President and Wealth Strategies Advisor at Bank of America Private Bank in New York City. Ryan strives to identify tax, estate and financial issues that can have an impact on a client’s lifestyle, business interests, children and grandchildren and the legacy they wish to leave. Whether he is helping a family with the challenges of preserving multi-generational wealth or an entrepreneur with a company valuation, Ryan is dedicated to offering thoughtful guidance driven by his financial analyses and familiarity with legal issues.

Ryan is committed to building a personal relationship with his clients and strives to maintain a deep understanding of their family priorities, lifestyle expectations and estate plans.

If there are questions clients should be asking, Ryan wants to be the first person they consult. He can examine an issue from various angles and conduct a more in-depth analysis before pointing clients to the proper outside professionals to seek the advice they may need.
