As Chief Accounting Officer at Encore Partners LLP, Ryan oversees all accounting and financial reporting services of the firm.
Ryan began his career as an auditor within the Ernst & Young (EY) Financial Services Office in New York City, primarily serving wealth and asset management clients. Throughout his time in New York, Ryan was exposed to complex entity structures and algorithmic trading strategies of some of the largest multi-national hedge funds, growing accustomed to dealing with tremendous volumes of data and deploying statistical sampling techniques to gain assurance. In 2017, Ryan transferred to the San Diego office of EY where he continued to plan and execute audits, SOC reports, AUPs and other engagements, mainly focusing on real estate, private equity, and life sciences clients.
Since leaving EY, Ryan served as an Accounting Manager at American Assets Trust (NYSE: AAT), a publicly traded REIT in San Diego, as well as Assistant Controller at Westcore, a privately held real-estate investment company that acquires, develops, owns, and operates industrial real estate throughout the United States.
