Ryan W. Boatsman, CPA

Ryan Boatsman brings nearly a decade of public accounting experience to every client relationship. Born and raised in the northwest, Ryan attended college at Linfield and immediately began his career with Delap upon graduating. Following the path of his father, Ryan knew he wanted to pursue a career in public accounting early in life. As a second generation accountant, Ryan recognizes the value of a proactive accounting advisor to closely held businesses. Ryan has a passion to serve business owners and working collaboratively to build stronger, healthier and more profitable businesses.

Ryan spent the first several years of his professional training rotating within the tax and audit teams to help build a well-rounded public accounting foundation. Currently, Ryan's primary focus is serving clients with financial statement assurance needs including audits, reviews, and compilations. Over the years Ryan has established a reputation of excellence within construction, food products, and manufacturing industries. He also has unique experiences with ESOPs and complex entity structures; in particular consolidations of multiple entities under common control. Ryan's ability to see the complete financial landscape of the businesses he serves allows him to deliver innovative insights beyond the scope of assurance requirements.

Outside of work Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and two young sons. Now that Ryan's college football and track careers are behind him, he volunteers as a coach at Sherwood High School as a way to give back to his community and stay close to the game. Ryan's favorite way to absorb the natural beauty of the northwest is from the seat of a snowmobile.

Why Delap?

"The main reason I chose Delap was the alignment of my personal values with Delap's firm values. Delap has provided me with opportunities that I may not have been given at any other firm. Delap has provided the flexibility for me to be a volunteer coach for the Sherwood high school football team. This has allowed me to balance my career goals with my passion of giving back to our community in my own unique way."
