Ryan has completed its previously announced acquisition of Svalner Atlas Advisors, significantly expanding the US-headquartered tax services and software provider’s presence across the Nordic and Benelux markets.
The completion brings approximately 500 Svalner Atlas professionals into Ryan and adds a business serving more than 4,000 clients across five European countries.
Following the transaction, Ryan says its global organisation now includes more than 7,100 professionals and associates serving over 74,000 clients in more than 80 countries.
500 Professionals Join Ryan
Svalner Atlas Advisors is an independent tax and transaction advisory business headquartered in Stockholm.
Its approximately 500 team members operate from seven offices across Europe:
- Stockholm
- Amsterdam
- Helsinki
- Oslo
- Copenhagen
- Gothenburg
- Turku
The firm serves more than 4,000 clients across Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway and Denmark.
The acquisition therefore gives Ryan an established platform across several important European tax advisory markets rather than requiring the firm to build those operations individually.
Ryan Expands Across the Nordics and Benelux
The transaction strengthens Ryan’s European footprint across Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway and Denmark.
Ryan described the completion as an important step in its international expansion strategy, with the combination intended to broaden the tax expertise and capabilities available to European and multinational clients.
