Ryan, a global tax services firm with the largest indirect and
property tax practices in North America, has bought Second
Decimal, a tax technology firm with an integrated suite of tax
calculation, certificate management, and workflow software
applications that automate tax calculations and processes for
improved efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. It is the Ryan's
second acquisition in recent months, following its purchase of
WTP Advisors in November.
Jayme Fishman, the chief executive officer of Second Decimal,
will join Ryan as president of a newly created software
division and will be a member of Ryan’s board of
directors. He will lead a team of dedicated tax and
technology experts responsible for the continued development
and support of the Firm’s expanding suite of
software applications.
"This acquisition will provide greater client value and
results by combining innovative tax software applications
backed by the firm’s strategic tax advisory and
recovery services," a statement from Ryan said.
