Story
Everyone has a story. Moments that define who we are and what we want to be. For Tribeca, our story began in New York.
The big apple is where a big idea took shape for Ryan, our CEO and founder. While walking the streets of Tribeca, he was drawn to the energy and vibrancy. A place full of possibility and opportunity.
That’s the aspirations he wanted to imbue in a new business.
He believed financial advice could and should be doing more. For too long the industry had been closed off to what’s possible. And where the focus favoured the product; not the person. He wanted to capture that sense of New York opportunity and turn it into something.
Something inspiring. Something real. So he did. He called it Tribeca.
Culture
There’s a reason we like to refer to ourselves as a Tribe. A Tribe shares a common culture. Ours is to work with respect, empathy, innovation, honesty and commitment. While wonderfully diverse and unique, what binds us is our love for what we do. And what Tribeca offers. To help change lives for the better.
Possibility and opportunity.
Why
Why are we always striving for a better way to provide financial advice? To make things easier; less complicated. To challenge ourselves and the industry to do more. Be more.
It’s engrained in our DNA. Ryan knows what it’s like to live pay check to pay check. He’s lived the struggle, and determination, of a single mother providing for her family. It’s why our bottom line is not about numbers on a balance sheet, it’s about creating security for people and the freedom to make choices. It’s being there when times are difficult, and when the possibilities are endless.
That’s life-changing financial advice.
Tribe
What makes a Tribe member? Well we’re inquisitive to start with. It’s why many of us continue to study and upskill our roles while at Tribeca. It’s also why we take a deep interest in the lives of our clients.
We’re individuals. That’s important. We all come from different walks of life with interests and passions that are embraced and celebrated; this diversity adding to the fabric of Tribeca. It also makes it a fun place to be.
And we come with a human-centred mindset, which simply means we lead with empathy in truly understanding the needs and aspirations of our clients.

Snapshot: Director / Senior Advisor. Finance leader. Self starter
Sean is not afraid of change, having switched careers after 17 successful years in corporate accounting to move into financial advice in 2008; and then soon after start up his own consultancy. It was the idea of being able to make a direct impact on people’s lives that drove all of this change, and naturally lead him to align with Tribeca in 2015. Making an impact is still what motivates him today, especially in helping his many long-term clients achieve a healthy balance in their lives.
