Ryan acquires property tax consultant

Dallas-based Ryan, a top tax services firm, has acquired PS Johnson, a property tax consulting firm in Ontario.

PS Johnson specializes in prosecuting property tax appeals for corporate clients, negotiating tax issues with municipalities, and resolving property tax issues.

The deal expands Ryan’s presence in Canada, and further strengthens its position as a leader in property tax services.

“Our property tax team has grown tremendously in Canada over the last few years,” said Ryan chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan, in a statement. “The addition of PS Johnson provides additional capabilities to our Ontario team and will provide the firm’s clients with access to a national network of experienced experts in property tax reduction and mitigation.”

Terms of the deal were not released. Senior professionals from PS Johnson are expected to join Ryan; founder Phill Johnson will retire, but will assist in transitioning his firm’s clients to Ryan.

“Ryan’s track record of exemplary client service and the firm’s award-winning work environment give me assurance that PS Johnson’s clients and professionals will be in good hands,” said Johnson in a statement. “I am looking forward to working alongside Ryan’s leadership team to successfully onboard our valued and longstanding clients.”
