A FLEXIBLE WORK ENVIRONMENT
As opposed to a traditional work environment, myRyan is a cultural shift that changes the measurement of work from hours to results. Through collaboration and support, Ryan employees thrive in a guilt-free workplace in which the focus is on results and superior client service, rather than where and when the work is done.
NOT JUST A JOB
One of Ryan’s core values is generosity. Simply put, we share our success. Through The Ryan Foundation, our employees have contributed millions of dollars to more than 200 charities. But they have made it clear that they want their community development efforts to go beyond merely writing a check. They want to connect on a personal level; they want to get out there and touch lives and make a difference in the communities around them.
Our ValuesA REWARDING EXPERIENCE
We share our success with our employees through our many benefit plan choices, which include financial rewards and savings programs, medical and wellness coverage, and work-life flexibility.
Ryan's career path is similar to other consulting firms, but the opportunity for high performers to accelerate their career growth is unmatched in the industry. We have implemented an accelerated promotion path and a training program that enable our people to reach their highest potential.

What are the qualifications for a Tax Consultant?
Qualified candidates will have a strong business background and a history of extracurricular activities and work experience. A 3.0 Grade Point Average both overall and in accounting is preferred; finance majors should have 12 hours of accounting to qualify for many of our tax consultant positions.

My college curriculum did not include any information about state, local, federal, or international tax issues. Does that affect my chances for an interview or potential offer?
Ryan tax consultants receive extensive training in state, local, federal, and international tax consulting because most students never take courses in these areas. We do require 12 hours of accounting coursework for many, but not all, of our positions. We also realize that your school may not have included courses specific to state, local, federal, or international tax.

Do you require applicants to be pursuing a CPA, and is there any incentive for passing the exam?
Ryan is not a CPA firm, but does value the CPA designation. It is not, however, required to be successful or move up within the organization. We will reimburse for preparatory courses and award an incentive upon passing the CPA exam.
