AAB marks the New Year with appointment of two new partners

AAB is thrilled to announce the appointment of two longstanding team members, Brian Dunne and Ruairí Power, to the firm. Both Brian and Ruairí have extensive expertise in Audit and client management, and together with their fellow partners, will share responsibility for leading the Audit Department.

The Journey from Graduate to Partners

Brian and Ruairí joined Ormsby & Rhodes – acquired by AAB in January 2025 – as graduates, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to nurturing talent through mentorship, training, and development. Brian Dunne, with a wealth of experience in Audit and Corporate Restructuring, developed through exceptionally managing client relationships across various sectors, assumes his role with a focus on delivering outstanding customer service and overseeing a diverse client portfolio. Ruairí Power, specialising in Audit and Corporate Advisory, has demonstrated outstanding expertise throughout his time at AAB, supporting group structures and businesses of various sizes. Ruairí embraces this new role with a commitment to client growth and continued talent development within the team, through sharing technical and regulatory knowledge, a passion they both embrace.

Managing partner celebrates pivotal moment

David Marsh, Managing Partner at AAB, celebrated by saying:

“We are delighted to welcome Brian and Ruairí as Partners, marking a pivotal moment in their professional careers. Their journey from the graduate programme to undertaking shared leadership of the audit department is a testament to their commitment to AAB and our clients. It also demonstrates our investment in fostering talent, something I feel hugely passionate about. The firm continues to thrive, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team and the trust our clients place in us. Congratulations to Ruairi and Brian on this fantastic achievement!”
