“If a business comes to Ireland we can set up their company or branch, register them with the Revenue Commissioners and set up bank accounts. We will look after all their accounting requirements until they are ready to take some in-house; we even have meeting rooms they can use.”
Anne is a member of Chartered Accountants Ireland and the Irish Taxation Institute. She is also a member of the Institute of Internal Auditors and the Life Insurance Association (LIA). Prior to starting her own practice in 1992 Anne both worked and trained with KPMG. She is an expert in advising business start-ups, fundraising, implementing in- ternal controls and assisting with the restructuring and reorganisation of companies.
As a woman at the top of an industry dominated by men, Anne is a role model for younger female accountants and actively supports women’s events. She says her own personal experience during many years as an accountant has not been one of discrimination, but often the exact opposite. She cites one example of pitching for a job at a local football club, where the senior team needed help with their management accounts. She got the contract and duly attended the AGM, only to be informed she was the first woman to attend their annual meeting since the club was formed in 1872!
