Ryan was recognised for its innovative approach to a successful global tax automation deployment implemented for a Fortune100 multinational client.

Moore, Ryan President of Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America Operations. "This honour affirms our innovative approach to delivering superior service and results across our emerging markets in Europe."
