of the largest taxpayers in the United States in connection with state
and local tax matters.
"I was able to observe virtually every firm in Texas over the last
eight years, and it is obvious to me that the practitioners at Ryan
& Company are the best I’ve seen at representing their clients
in a professional and very effective manner. Of all the consulting firms
I could have been associated with, I chose Ryan & Company because
I simply think they do the best, most thorough work for their clients,"

are extremely pleased to announce John Sharp has joined our Firm as
a shareholder and principal. His expertise will mean a great deal to

tax matters before the Comptroller’s office.
