Ryan acquires MJI Consulting

Ryan, a Dallas-based tax services and software provider, has acquired MJI Consulting Group, a property tax advisory firm with clients in Western New York and Connecticut, in the latest in a string of deals in the property tax space.

MJI Consulting, based in Buffalo, New York, was founded in 2004 and specializes in property tax minimization services and performs reviews and analyses of property tax obligations for their clients. 

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Ryan ranked No. 8 on Accounting Today's 2023 list of the Top Tax Firms, with over $820 million in annual revenue.

The deal comes after Ryan's acquisition in April of RETC Group, a firm that specializes in the property tax space in North Texas, after other recent acquisitions of Marvin F. Poer and Co., Greystone Property Tax Advisors, Paradigm Tax Group, OneSource Property Tax from Thomson Reuters and Kurz Group..

"Our property tax practice has grown tremendously this past year," said Ryan chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan in a statement Monday.

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."
