Neuberger Berman joins Onex and Ares with minority investment in Ryan

The investment brings Neuberger into Ryan’s long-term ownership group as the tax services and software provider accelerates its growth strategy across consulting, technology, and international markets. Ryan will continue to be led by its founder, chairman, and chief executive, G. Brint Ryan, along with the existing management team.
“Ryan has built a powerful foundation as a clear market leader in tax, and this strategic partnership further strengthens our competitive advantage as we enter our next phase of growth,” G. Brint Ryan said. “Together with Neuberger, Onex Partners, and Ares, we are well positioned to expand our reach.”
David Lyon, head of Neuberger Berman Capital Solutions, said: “Ryan is a differentiated platform sitting at the intersection of tax expertise, technology, and client service.”
Onex Partners and Ares highlighted Ryan’s scale and growth potential, citing its global footprint and sector leadership. Completion of the transaction is expected in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
The deal reflects continued appetite among private equity sponsors and capital solutions providers for scaled professional services platforms offering recurring revenue and technology-enabled growth.
