Not every accountant has the expertise and perspective to work across international borders. Ryan Stute does. From his early years at Ernst & Young, where he served top executives in global corporations in both the Puget Sound Region and Europe, where he developed a reputation as someone who truly understands the needs and issues of his clients regardless of what language they speak. For Ryan, accounting is as much about people as it is about numbers. As he puts it, "The #1 thing I love about my job is the opportunity to interact with people, both clients and colleagues." As a principal in the firm's tax practice, Ryan is a respected advisor on income tax, financial issues, and proactive tax and estate planning. His clients include businesses that are family owned or closely held, as well as high net worth individuals.
