Ryan Grows Its Property Tax Footprint by Acquiring Morrison & Head

Morrison & Head was co-founded in 2001 by Chet Morrison and Ray Head and provides comprehensive and cost-effective property tax compliance and consulting services to meet the unique needs of their clients, Ryan said.

Dallas-based global tax services and software provider Ryan has acquired Morrison & Head, a property tax consulting firm serving clients across Texas with offices in Austin and Houston.

No financial details of the transaction were released.

“Morrison & Head is a well-established firm with a strong reputation in the property tax space in Texas,” Ryan Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan said in a statement. “The addition of Morrison & Head further expands Ryan’s market presence and adds a talented group of property tax professionals to our industry-leading team. We look forward to offering our new clients a full suite of innovative tax services and software solutions to further enhance their tax-saving opportunities.”

The firm said the acquisition adds Morrison & Head partners Steve Laas and Kelli Morrison as principals in Ryan’s Property Tax practice, both of whom bring decades of combined experience in management and execution of property tax consulting engagements for owners of commercial real estate.

Benefits for clients and team members

Chet Morrison, Morrison & Head’s co-founder, also will be joining Ryan to assist with the transition, the firm said.

“I feel confident entrusting our clients to Ryan,” Morrison said in a statement. “Ryan is widely known as a leader in client service, so our clients can expect the same level of attention to detail, prompt communication, and industry-leading results they received from us. Our team members will also be able to take advantage of additional career advancement opportunities at Ryan and benefit from the Firm’s award-winning work culture.”

This acquisition follows Ryan’s recent acquisitions of MJI Consulting and RETC Group. Combined, Ryan said these transactions further cement it as the leader in property tax consulting services across North America.

Ryan is the largest firm in the world dedicated exclusively to business taxes, the company said. The firm provides an integrated suite of federal, state, local, and international tax services on a multijurisdictional basis, including tax recovery, consulting, advocacy, compliance, and technology services.
