FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ryan & Company Launches New Name and Brand to Reflect the Firm’s Strategic Vision and Successful Merger Integration of Leading Tax Consulting Firms.
Dallas, Texas -- Ryan (formerly Ryan & Company), the leading tax services firm in North America,
with the largest transaction tax practice in the United States and Canada, today announced that it has
successfully integrated three leading tax consulting firms acquired over the past year, and has launched
a new brand to reflect the combined strength and added value that the fully integrated Firm will provide
North America’s premier Fortune 1000 corporations.
Ryan’s consolidation of Robert Brakel & Associates, the leading tax consulting firm in Canada for more
than 30 years; JohnBernard, the Midwest United States leader in state and local tax consulting; and Burr
Wolff’s transaction tax and technology business units positions the Firm to provide the most comprehensive
suite of tax services and technology solutions available through one integrated offering. North American
clients will benefit from a single source for both Canadian and United States tax solutions that is
unmatched in the industry today.
“Our new name and logo represents a value proposition that is far greater than the industry-leading
tax recovery services that we are internationally recognized for. Ryan is also focused on our clients’
overall tax performance—providing innovative solutions to the underlying causes of the errors we
identify—and creating a greater opportunity to measure and improve efficiency, furnish a more strategic
approach to tax, and deliver outstanding value to shareholders,” said G. Brint Ryan, Managing Principal of
Ryan.
The integration of Robert Brakel & Associates, JohnBernard, and Burr Wolff continues Ryan’s steady and
consistent growth over the past 16 years, further establishing the Firm’s North American industry leadership
position.
