We are pleased to announce the following promotions in our Limerick office: Fergus O’Regan as Manager in our Tax Department, Anita McGuinness as Assistant Manager in our General Practice Division and Jane Hughes as Assistant Manager in our Tax Department.
The firm is delighted to emerge from the challenge of the previous, pandemic-dominated, two years with such good news and a positive outlook. As we approach our 10-year anniversary we are looking forward to a busy and productive 2022 across our three offices in Limerick, Ennis and Nenagh.
While the pandemic has been very difficult on so many levels it did encourage us to adapt our technologies and work practices to continue supporting our clients and staff. We maintained our graduate training programmes, participation in UL’s CoOperative education programme, enabled our staff to work from home and continued meeting our clients’ needs remotely, or in person, as the situation and public health dictated. We are now well positioned and resourced to deal with all of 2022’s challenges.
Speaking about Fergus and Jane’s promotions Tax Partner Mary McKeogh stated: “Fergus and Jane have been fantastic additions to the tax team and we are delighted to acknowledge their achievements with these promotions. Fergus works closely with myself on our diverse client base across compliance and complex tax consultancy assignments, while also managing the day-to-day activities of a large department of tax trainees and qualified staff. Jane has proven herself a very capable and astute tax consultant, working with myself and our Tax Director Anne Hogan on compliance and consultancy assignments. Assisting clients and finding solutions as well as training junior staff. We wish them both continued success in their careers with the firm.”

She has worked and studied hard, applied herself rigorously to every task and learning opportunity, passing all her exams, and is now a highly capable and professional accountant trusted by clients and colleagues alike.
