He holds the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF) designation from the Center for Fiduciary Studies, which signifies specialized knowledge of fiduciary responsibility and the ability to implement policies and procedures that meet a defined standard of care. He earned the FINRA series 7, 6, 63, 65 and 24 securities licenses and is a North Carolina life insurance licensee.

In addition to consulting with plan fiduciaries on investments and other plan matters, Bryan also educates participants about their plan, investment choices and "gap to goal." He routinely conducts seminars and workshops for plan participants to cover a variety of financial topics, and he engages other financial professionals throughout the industry to help participants and business owners with their specialized needs.
