What RETC does

Ryan, LLC is a privately held global tax services firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with additional operations in Toronto (Canada), London (United Kingdom, regional headquarters), and Asia-Pacific. The firm provides an integrated portfolio of tax advisory services organized across six service lines — Recovery, Consulting, Advocacy, Compliance, Technology, and Legal — and 17 practice areas spanning Property Tax, Income Tax, Transaction Tax, Value-Added Tax, International Tax, Severance Tax and Royalty, Credits and Incentives, Employment Tax, and others. Ryan claims to operate the largest dedicated Property Tax practice in North America, serving many of the Global 5000 corporations across 15+ industry verticals including real estate, manufacturing, financial services, oil and gas, technology, healthcare, retail, and government contracting.

The firm's core technology offering is PropertyPoint™, a property tax management and compliance platform, supported by the broader Ryan Software suite and its affiliated legal services subsidiary Ryan Legal Services, PLLC. Ryan positions its advocacy practice as differentiated by the fact that its services are not restricted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, enabling it to act as a pure client advocate without the regulatory constraints that limit traditional accounting firms. In its most recent disclosed year, the firm recovered more than $4 billion in tax savings for clients.

Ryan's business model is a quote-based B2B professional services engagement model, typically structured as project-based or multi-year retainer arrangements with enterprise and Global 5000 clients. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales and relationship management, supplemented by thought leadership content marketing (whitepapers, newsletters, webinars, and industry press). The firm has executed two acquisitions in early 2026 — WYM Rating (UK business rates, February 2026) and Hucke and Associates (US property tax, March 2026) — and appointed Jonathon Travis as President of Global Technology in July 2026, signaling continued investment in technology and international expansion.
