implementation, system configuration, testing, evaluation, and education while overseeing consistent
year-over-year growth in revenue and client satisfaction.
Stephen James, former West Area Leader for KPMG’s U.S.-based international value added tax (VAT) practice,
joined Ryan & Company as a Principal to establish its VAT Automation and Consulting Practice. Previously,
Mr. James was responsible for the international group within a transaction tax systems practice, which
handled multi-country tax automation projects for global organizations. Mr. James’ experience in
international value added taxes and the systems that support them brings new global capabilities to the
Firm’s offerings. Mr. James has also held positions with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, the government
agency responsible for the administration of most indirect taxes in the United Kingdom.
