Tax services and software firm Ryan has acquired Northern Ireland-based Inspired Corporate Advisory, a specialist in research and development (R&D) tax relief, capital allowances and patent box incentives.
The move will bolster Ryan’s corporate tax compliance and advisory services, particularly in the engineering, construction and building supply sectors. Inspired’s team of 16 professionals will join Ryan, bringing experience from both industry and large accounting firms.
Inspired partners Eugene O’Neill and Michael Heinicke will join as principals. The team includes Colm Cavanagh – a former Gaelic footballer – in a client engagement role.
The acquisition also adds two new Ryan offices in Holywood and Dungiven.
Tom Shave, president of European and Asia-Pacific operations at Ryan, said: “As one of Northern Ireland’s only dedicated tax firms, Inspired is well aligned to Ryan’s commitment to providing bespoke client services focused on business taxes.
“This acquisition strengthens our growth strategy as, together, we look to expand our presence in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.”
O’Neill added: “Ryan’s results-based approach to client service, wherever they operate in the world, offers the best platform to grow Inspired and maximise tax savings for our clients.”
Ryan provides an integrated suite of international tax services on a multijurisdictional basis, including cost management, compliance, consulting, technology and transformation, and innovation funding.
