About Cole Bryant
I believe financial planning should help people gain clarity and confidence, not create more complexity.
Too often, people feel overwhelmed by financial decisions. Whether it’s preparing for retirement, investing wisely, managing taxes, protecting loved ones, or creating a lasting legacy, there’s no shortage of information available. The challenge is knowing what applies to your situation and what steps to take next.
That’s why I became a Financial Advisor with Thrivent.
My goal is to help individuals, families, and organizations make informed financial decisions that align with their values and long-term goals. I work closely with clients to simplify complex financial topics and create practical strategies around retirement planning, investment management, tax-efficient planning, protection planning, and charitable giving.
Many of the people I serve are approaching retirement and want confidence that they’re making the right decisions regarding Social Security, retirement income, taxes, Medicare, and their overall financial future. I also enjoy helping professionals and families build a strong financial foundation as they work toward their own goals and milestones.
What I enjoy most about this work is the opportunity to build long-term relationships and help clients make progress toward what matters most to them. I believe financial advice should be personal, educational, and tailored to the unique goals and values of each individual and family.
Outside of work, I live in Altadena, California with my wife and our dachshund, Phil. I’m passionate about financial education and regularly partner with churches, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to help people improve their financial knowledge and make more confident financial decisions.
I consider it a privilege to help clients navigate some of life’s most important financial decisions. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, navigating a major life transition, or simply looking for a trusted financial partner, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and learn more about your story.
