Kurz Group

What Kurz Group does

Ryan, LLC is a privately held global tax services firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in 1987 and operating under the Kurz Group redirect (kurzgroup.com routes to Ryan's property tax practice). The company is the largest Property Tax practice in North America, providing end-to-end tax advisory, compliance, recovery, advocacy, technology, and legal services primarily to Global 5000 corporations and other large enterprises with complex property, multi-jurisdictional tax positions. Verticals served include Real Estate (primary), Manufacturing, Financial Services, Oil and Gas, Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals, Technology, Telecommunications, Utilities, Construction, Retail, Business Services, Food Services, Transportation, Government Contractors, and Blockchain and Cryptocurrency.

The firm delivers its services through six integrated service lines — Recovery, Consulting, Advocacy, Compliance, Technology, and Legal (via wholly-owned subsidiary Ryan Legal Services, PLLC) — and layers proprietary technology on top, including Ryan Software and the PropertyPoint™ platform for property tax management, compliance, and administrative support. The advocacy practice is differentiated by its ability to operate without Sarbanes-Oxley restrictions that bind traditional accounting firms, allowing direct client representation in tax disputes.

Ryan's revenue model is enterprise professional services: quote-based engagements with multi-year contracts, fee structures aligned with advisory work and contingency-style recovery on identified tax savings. The firm reports recovering more than $4B for clients in the most recent year and operates across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, broader Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (industry reports, newsletters, webinars, and press relations). Recent strategic activity includes the 2026 acquisitions of WYM Rating (UK business rates) and Hucke and Associates (property tax), and the appointment of Jonathon Travis as President of Global Technology.
