Global tax services and software company Ryan has purchased Hucke and Associates, a New York City-based property tax consultancy.

The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

Hucke and Associates was set up in 2001 by Peter Hucke. It operates as a specialist boutique focused solely on property tax appeals and valuation advocacy.

Over the years, it has advised both owners and developers across a wide range of real estate asset classes, combining assessment expertise with direct representation in tax matters.

The company’s services include property tax appeals and valuation advocacy, pre-acquisition tax review and projections, negotiations over assessed values with tax authorities, and work on exemptions and incentive-linked property tax relief.

These areas sit alongside and complement Ryan’s existing property tax practice.

Additionally, Hucke and Associates brings experience across hospitality, office, retail, industrial and multi-family properties, adding to Ryan’s current capabilities in those sectors.

Hucke and Associates CEO Peter Hucke said: “Uniting with Ryan marks an important evolution for our team and clients, creating new opportunities while broadening our capabilities and reinforcing the trusted results that have long defined our practice.”

Following the deal, Ryan will add Peter Hucke, Stephen Hucke and Devon Shapiro, along with other Hucke and Associates staff, to its property tax team, who will work with clients under the Ryan brand.

Ryan US Operations president Damon Chronis said: “This acquisition is an exciting step forward for both Ryan and the Hucke team.

“By joining forces, we are bringing together focused property tax expertise and deep market knowledge, particularly in complex and highly scrutinised markets like New York City, alongside Ryan’s global platform, to deliver clear, consistent outcomes for clients.”

In October last year, Ryan announced a joint venture with Dhruva Advisors, an Indian tax advisory firm.
