Ryan Acquires Paradigm Tax Group, Expanding Property Tax Management Services Across the United States

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ryan, a leading global tax services and software provider, has announced the acquisition of Paradigm DKD Group, L.L.C., doing business as Paradigm Tax Group (PTG), a leading independent national provider of comprehensive property tax management services. PTG provides taxpayers with a full suite of services, including real and personal property tax appeals, pre-acquisition planning due diligence, complex property consulting, and business personal property tax compliance.

“Adding one of the largest pure-play property tax firms in the United States further cements Ryan as a leader in property tax management services across the country,” said Ryan Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan. “Combining PTG’s specialized knowledge, national network, and innovative technology platform with our current service and software offerings benefits clients from both firms and ensures a seamless property tax management solution moving forward. This acquisition is consistent with Ryan’s strategy to hire and acquire the industry’s top professionals and positions us well as we continue our mission of becoming the number one global brand in tax.”

Founded in October 2004 as an independent carveout company from a Big Four accounting firm, PTG’s innovative technology platform, combined with its commitment to superior client service and local expertise, has propelled it to become one of the leading property tax consulting firms in the nation. The acquisition of PTG adds highly experienced professionals with a national presence across all 50 states and long-standing client relationships.

“Ryan is a natural fit for our team and our clients,” said PTG CEO Rob Foster. “The synergies between our two firms are numerous: a track record of positive results, a focus on superior client service, and a positive workplace culture for our team members to grow their careers.”

The acquisition of PTG follows recent acquisitions of Marvin F. Poer and Company, the second-largest property tax consulting firm in the United States, and Greystone Property Tax Advisors, a property tax consulting firm that provides a single point of contact for clients’ tax appeals, reports, and budgets. Combined, these three transactions expand Ryan’s property tax service offerings to current and future clients across the United States who are able to leverage Ryan’s full suite of tax services and software solutions.
