Irish Accountancy Awards 2024 - Tax Team of the Year Winner
Irish Accountancy Awards 2024 - Medium Practice of the Year Winner
We are a full-service firm offering a wide range of accounting, audit, tax, advisory and corporate services; though we like to think we are much more than a list of services. Our goal is to be the trusted advisor of choice to our clients, acting as their partners whenever they need advice and expertise, or even just a sounding board for ideas.
Walsh O’Brien Harnett is a professional advisory firm – one of Ireland’s top 20 accountancy practices – comprising chartered accountants, registered auditors and chartered tax advisors. Led by a young and dynamic team of five partners, we are a modern practice built on the foundations of almost 70 years’ experience.
Our Clients
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to build long-term relationships and are personally invested in our clients’ success – in many cases we are now working with the third generation of family business owners.
Our client service standards are an area of continual focus for both partners and staff. We strive to consistently provide our clients with best-in-class service, going above and beyond at every opportunity.
We have a varied client base of businesses, not-for-profit organisations and individuals across a wide range of industries and sizes. Our corporate clients range from entrepreneurial growth businesses, through established companies with turnover in the tens of millions, to multinationals. Our charity and not-for-profit clients include religious congregations, schools, and community support organisations.
