Ryan & Company and Barnett Associates Expand Suite of Offerings with Strategic Alliance

Dallas, Texas - Ryan & Company, Inc. (Ryan & Company), the largest independent state and local tax consulting firm in the United States, today announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with Barnett Associates, Inc. (Barnett Associates), the national leader in unemployment tax management solutions.

With unemployment tax costs nearly tripling over the last two years, identifying legitimate unemployment tax savings is a priority for companies throughout the United States. The collective resources of Ryan & Company and Barnett Associates now offer these companies both best-of-class state and local tax consulting services and comprehensive strategies for reducing unemployment tax rates.

“Like all of the indirect taxes we specialize in minimizing, unemployment taxes are a controllable cost,” says G. Brint Ryan, Managing Principal of Ryan & Company. “With the right capability and expertise, substantial reductions in unemployment taxes can be realized. Barnett Associates brings that capability and expertise to our team, providing us with another great opportunity to bring value to our clients.”

“The combination is a natural,” says Paul Barnett, President of Barnett Associates. “Often, the information provided to Ryan & Company is the same information needed by Barnett Associates to secure the lowest unemployment rates under the law. We are very happy to be working with Ryan & Company to provide the most comprehensive state and local tax consulting in the country.”
