Ryan K. Wolff, MBA

Ryan is a member of AAFCPAs’ Business Process & IT Consulting Practice and a key leader in the firm’s Automation Center of Excellence (CoE), an internal team that streamlines automation output, provides structure, and helps scale automation through the firm. Ryan brings extensive expertise in analytics, robotic process automation (RPA), natural language processing policy and research, along with artificial intelligence (AI) prompting.

Ryan helps clients identify and evaluate processes that are good candidates for RPA. He then leverages software robotics and emerging technology to mimic the back-office tasks of humans, such as data extraction, form filling, and file moving. He helps clients eliminate tedious, repetitive tasks and free up knowledge workers to spend time on higher value work like strategic planning.

Ryan evaluates, pilots, and institutes new technologies for the firm to improve efficiency and effectiveness in AAFCPAs’ commitment to work smarter, not harder. Pairing IT expertise with years of experience as a senior accountant within the audit function, Ryan is ideally suited to drive audit efficiency through technology and to use technical innovations to help transform accounting.

Ryan volunteers as a navigator in AAFCPAs’ Professional Advancement & Development (PAD) program, a one-year in-house incubator designed to help advance early career professionals. He also trains new hires on IT systems. Ryan holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Finance from Assumption University. He is a native to Peabody, Massachusetts and tries to stay active year-round.
