Whether it’s preparing filings, consulting on business growth, or stepping in during an IRS audit, Ryan brings calm, clarity, and expert guidance to the table.

What Makes Ryan Different

Beyond his credentials, what sets Ryan apart is his character. He’s a single father raising a bright and energetic 10-year-old daughter. He also cares for his elderly father, who lives with a disability. In the middle of a demanding career, Ryan still makes time to give back to his community—offering pro bono tax help to veterans, low-income families, and people facing financial hardship across Worcester County.

And every October? He and his daughter make it a tradition to volunteer at local haunted houses—just for fun and to support community events. It’s not about the money. It’s about spending time together, doing something lighthearted, and giving people in the community a reason to smile.

A Reputation Earned—And Protected

Years ago, Ryan Burns was wrongfully accused by someone with money and influence who tried to tarnish his name out of spite. The claims were dismissed due to lack of evidence—but the damage lingered. Ryan didn’t just walk away—he stood tall, not just for himself, but for his daughter and for others who’ve been targeted by malicious people misusing the legal system.

He continues to fight not only to clear his name but to shine a light on how easily reputations can be harmed when truth takes a backseat to power. The experience has only deepened his empathy, making him a stronger advocate for fairness and for those who often don’t have a voice.
