DALLAS, March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan, a leading global tax services firm, has been named one of the 2017 National Association for Female Executives (NAFE) Top Companies for Executive Women, in recognition of American corporations where women have the authority to make the decisions that impact their company's future and its bottom line.

"We are very proud to honor their contributions to the advancement of women in the workplace."

"NAFE emphasizes women with bottom-line and top-line responsibility—the positions that lead to the corner office—and we're pleased to report an eight percent increase in women running billion-dollar divisions at the NAFE Top Companies this year," says Subha V. Barry, vice president and general manager of Working Mother Media (WMM).
