The leadership team
Meet our mentors and matchmakers, coaches and collaborators, corporate veterans and finance whizzes. An adaptable and friendly group, the senior leaders at RoseRyan wear a variety of hats to hire the best, inspire our gurus and keep our clients happy. Kathy and the rest of the leadership team have the broad, deep experience (from years at the Big 4, Fortune 100 companies, as well as many startups) that clients really trust.
Kathleen Ryan, CEO & CFO
Kathy started RoseRyan on a mission to let highly savvy finance pros combine challenging assignments with a flexible work/life balance—and the firm has grown beyond her wildest dreams.
Kathy was director of finance at Quantum and tax manager at Price Waterhouse before co-founding RoseRyan in 1993 with Sue Macias. In addition to management expertise, her skills include general and cost accounting; tax and SEC reporting; forecasting, budgeting and planning; business finance; and systems planning and implementation. She has served as CFO for over 50 emerging growth companies. And she’s known for fostering innovation, having nurtured the development of RoseRyan’s scheduling, timesheet and billing management app, which was recently spun out as a separate software company called Bizinta. In addition, RoseRyan also created a new consulting firm, Kukuza Associates, for cannabis accounting and finance, building off its entrance into the exciting market in 2014.
Her leadership has been widely recognized. San Francisco Business Times named Kathy as an influential woman in Bay Area businessin 2015. She’s twice made Accounting Today’s national listing of the sector’s top 10 leaders, known as the Managing Partner Elite. And in 2012, the San Jose/Silicon Valley Business Journal named her one of the most influential women in Silicon Valley. Formerly a Big Four CPA, Kathy holds a BS in accounting from Santa Clara University. A founding member of FINACA, an association of similar consulting firms across the country, Kathy serves on FINACA’s board and is an active member of St. Michael’s Church in Livermore. Kathy loves golf, needlepoint and (her guilty pleasure) romance novels.
