SUPPORTING AMBITIOUS BUSINESSES
I believe that strong financial guidance should do more than ensure compliance. By taking the time to understand each client’s objectives, challenges and growth ambitions, I help organisations make informed decisions that strengthen performance and create opportunities for the future. My client portfolio spans businesses at every stage of development, from new ventures and owner-managed businesses to established international organisations.
INSOLVENCY AND RESTRUCTURING EXPERIENCE
As a member of the Irish Society of Insolvency Practitioners, I have considerable experience in insolvency and restructuring matters. Throughout my career, I have been appointed as liquidator or receiver for numerous Irish companies, helping businesses and stakeholders navigate challenging situations with practical, commercially focused solutions.
LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS
I graduated from the University of Limerick in 21 with a degree in Business Studies. After gaining experience with a leading Dublin accountancy practice, I joined HMCA in October 25 as an Audit Manager and was appointed Partner in November 211, before joining AAB.
I am an Associate Member of Chartered Accountants Ireland, a Statutory Auditor and a tax agent. In 215, I was honoured to be elected Chairman of the Committee of the Leinster Society of Chartered Accountants, representing more than 11,5 Chartered Accountants across the Leinster region
