Ryan M. Dingler, CPA

Ryan joined Bowman in 2006, where he provides tax planning services to businesses and individuals, prepares what he calls "an enormous amount of tax returns" and directs small-business audits.

A graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, with a bachelor's degree in Business Economics, Ryan says the most interesting part of his job "has been learning the integral operations of the many different types of businesses that Bowman & Company serves — how they operate and what makes them succeed."

The industries Ryan serves include real estate development, construction and farming.

Affiliations: Ryan is a member of the American Institute and California Society of CPAs.

Off The Record: "There's a strong emphasis on family here," Ryan says. "Ryan and his wife Lindsay have taken the feeling to heart, and are expecting their first child this year. "But beyond that, Bowman has given me the freedom to create my own career path within the realm of public accounting."
