Ryan

Employees say:

"The flexibility to be able to work from home is, for me, the top fringe benefit. I love the fact that after 5 years of service you are afforded the opportunity to take a month long sabbatical on top of your PTO time. This shows that the company is committed to really appreciating its loyal employees.  Along with that, the team I work with are all very smart, dedicated and interesting people who care for each other on a personal level that I have never experienced in any other job I've had in my career. I really feel fortunate to have found Ryan LLC!"

Employees say:

"It's unusual how truly wonderful the people are that I work with. I can't possibly overstate this. As many offices and jobs that I've worked at throughout my career, this is the best group and best culture I've ever worked with at any level by far. For as many people that work in my office, every single one of them is kind, thoughtful, helpful, supportive, reasonable, considerate and patient. It still pleasantly surprises me every day."

Employees say: "Leadership is open to answering questions in front of the entire company. Great work-life balance. Great opportunities to earn well with the bonus system. Great structure and very bright future for the company."

Employees say:

"Appreciate their employee for one, giving their soon to be mothers maternity leave for longer than most work places which goes to show how much they care about their employees."

Employees say:

"I truly feel like I can work with flexibility. The ability to work remotely, go to appointments when necessary, and be trusted to get my job done on my time is invaluable to me. I also enjoy how the CEO has a monthly meeting where people can ask questions anonymously and he will answer them in front of everyone."

Employees say:

"We are encouraged not just to show up at work as our authentic self. We are encouraged to succeed as our diverse and authentic self. Benefits are always reviewed to ensure it is adjusting to the times."

Employees say:

"I just love the support from the whole team and practice. Management is always willing to develop anyone willing, and everyone is always understanding when life situations arise and we do need to use the flexibility."

Employees say:

"Ryan Pride is a wonderful way to give and get kudos to and from coworkers, managers, and other employees in the company. I find that is really a unique feature of Ryan. For a company to encourage celebrating your coworkers is very forward thinking. I've never worked for a company that celebrated people for celebrating others. It really is a breath of fresh air."

Corporate and business tax advisory firm Ryan takes a people-first approach to building company culture. The company’s myRyan flexible work system, originally launched 16 years ago, allows employees to continue to work where they will be most efficient, and it has helped employees navigate the transition away from and back to the office through COVID. 

In 2020, the company rolled out employee stock options for all employees, barring temporary workers and principals. Ryan gives pay transparency to build employee trust, and implemented multiple training sessions to educate employees and managers on payment systems after admitting its previous payment process was “a bit of a black box.” 

Partnering with Project Destined, Ryan has a primarily online training program on commercial real estate for high school and college students in order to assist with costs, provide internship opportunities, and offer paths to employment. Ryan hired two Project Destined participants as full-time consultants.

• Ryan LLC emphasizes a multidirectional feedback culture, and the RyanEvolve program gives workers a 24/7 tool to provide confidential feedback for leaders so that managers can continue to develop.


• The company’s Diversity and Inclusion report notes it has carried out a pay equity analysis, expanded recruiting at historically Black colleges and other institutions serving people of color, and implemented a diversity-focused speaker series.


• Rest is key at Ryan, and employees enjoy a week off each summer when the whole office closes separate from their annual allotment of vacation days.


• “There is an incredible focus on well-being and not just wellness and insurance benefits,” one employee said. “It is a holistic approach that is truly refreshing and not one-size-fits-all.”
