THE FIRM

Established in 2012 in Limerick city we have experienced significant growth, expanding to Nenagh

in 2017 and Ennis in 2018. All our offices are recently renovated, large modern buildings, located in

their locality’s commercial centre. Our clients cover the length and breadth of the country and

range from owner operators and private individuals to some of the State’s largest financial

institutions and agencies.

We believe in a client-focussed service offering, recognising that our business is people. We are

committed to hiring the best and giving them the tools and opportunity to shine. The advisory

marketplace is crowded with large impersonal organisations but we are different – we have the

same professionalism, mentality, ability and experience of a “Big” firm but the approach and

personality of a smaller firm. We understand that the quality of our service is wholly dependent on

the quality of our team and constantly strive to challenge and develop them.

We are a member of HLB International, a world-wide network of independent accounting firms

and business advisors, present in over 157 countries.
