Experience,
insight and
knowledge
Our practice leaders are respected and leading advisors locally and nationally.
In establishing McKeogh Gallagher Ryan Mary McKeogh, Eoin Gallagher and Eoin Ryan had over 50 years’ experience between them. They wanted to create a firm “Where Direct Relationships Count.” This isn’t just a tagline it’s their ethos.
They recognise that their success is dependent on the quality of their colleagues. The firm continuously strives to provide the best in service, with direct access for clients to partners, and the capacity to ensure delivery for clients
In re-branding as McKeogh Gallagher Ryan in 2017, Nenagh based Quinlan Holohan Chartered Accountants recognised the value in increasing their service offering and capacity to deliver for clients. It was a natural fit for Quinlan Holohan with its long history of the best professionals in Tipperary servicing clients throughout the region. William Lomasney leads the large team with the goal of growing and enhancing the already outstanding professional offering that has proudly existed since 1977.
Ennis based Clune Lynch & Co merged with McKeogh Gallagher Ryan in January 2018 bringing together an excellent team of 16 professionals based in Ennis but operating throughout the Midwest and further cementing the firm’s status as the largest firm of independent accountants in the Mid West.
