I enjoy helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals and dreams. During my 30 years of guiding clients, I discovered they are experiences in their field – my advice: do what you excel at; hire everything else out. And that is where we come in. We are experiences in financial, cash flow and tax planning. I really enjoy helping clients meet their financial goals.
Why – because everyone goes into business because they want the success of their business to do something for them or their families or their employees or their community. The better I can understand their personal reason why they want their business to succeed, the better I can help them set benchmarks to reach those goals.
I also enjoy working on individual tax returns. Over the past 20 years, I’ve supervised the preparation of over 37,000 tax returns. If you can think of it, I can assure you that I’ve probably seen it.
I have been happily married for the past 30 years. Proud father of two daughters who are 4th generation graduates of their respective universities, UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University.
I love to play golf, although my handicap does not reflect my passion for the sport. However, we are working on moving my handicap to a respectable number. If you wish to play golf, just let me know and I’m sure we can come up with a weak excuse to go play.
Ryan is not the typical CPA. Unlike most CPAs, Ryan actually has a personality. Others reflect that the difference arises in his entrepreneurial passion for franchises that has honed his operations and people skills as he has worked with some international franchise companies. Meet Ryan and decide for yourself; is the expected CPA?
Ryan taps his 20 years of franchising experience and eight years working with small, medium and Fortune 500 companies in public accounting to help franchisees meet their goals. In April 2019, Ryan left his position as Chief Strategy Officer at Liberty Tax which has 3,000 plus offices in the US and Canada. Ryan has multi-brand franchise experience, including three years as a Regional Director at Liberty Tax with a team that supported over 500 franchisees, 34 area developers and well over 1,000 stores. Additionally, as a Liberty Tax franchisee, he owned one of the top 10 offices and has grown his Area Development unit count from 4 to 90 stores in eight years. In 2024, Ryan purchased a Certified Public Accounting firm, founded in 1984, serving clients across various industries. It aligns with his goals of helping business owners achieve their dreams, serving clients “Beyond the Bottom Line”.

I'm a Winston-Salem native and love working with our diverse clients, including individuals and businesses. I’m committed to being sure their questions are answered and their needs are addressed. It’s meaningful to work in an office where I’ve been able to develop relationships with co-workers and clients.
During my time away from the office, I love camping with my husband at state and federal parks. Just don’t watch us try backing up the pop-up. I’m constantly being entertained by our hilarious granddaughter Ember. My dog Baxter and cat Bosco ensure that should I sit idle for more than 5 seconds, there are bellies that need to rubbed.
