Dallas, Texas -- State Comptroller John Sharp will become a shareholder and principal of Dallas-based Ryan & Company effective January 5, 1999. Ryan & Company’s Austin office will be located on the 19th floor of the 100 Congress Building.

The Firm represents many of the largest taxpayers in the United States in connection with state and local tax matters.

"I was able to observe virtually every firm in Texas over the last eight years, and it is obvious to me that the practitioners at Ryan & Company are the best I’ve seen at representing their clients in a professional and very effective manner. Of all the consulting firms I could have been associated with, I chose Ryan & Company because I simply think they do the best, most thorough work for their clients," Sharp said.

Brint Ryan, Managing Principal of Ryan & Company, said, "We are extremely pleased to announce John Sharp has joined our Firm as a shareholder and principal. His expertise will mean a great deal to our clients and our Firm." Mr. Sharp will join the Firm’s existing Principals, Gene Bouchillon, John R. Ferrell, G. Brint Ryan, Gerry Ridgely, Jr., Eric L.
