Brian McEnery, Managing Partner on the strength of the Irish accountancy market



The managing partners of Ireland’s largest accountancy firms provide insights on their firms’ latest figures and performance. The industry leaders were asked to comment on their firm’s latest results in the context of the overall industry environment currently and its prospects for the coming years.

BDO Ireland’s latest results reflect a period of strategic growth and adaptation in response to the current economic climate. Our role during this period has been dynamic in consistently serving our clients through an ongoing commitment to delivering quality engagements.

The firm in Ireland is in a strong place to deliver for our people, our clients and against our ambitious plans for growth. Growing our people is central to our mission in BDO and we continue our investment in advancing the most supportive working environment enabling our colleagues to realise their full potential; a process kick-started by our move to a new state-of-the-art offices just over a year ago. I am delighted that BDO Ireland was recently nominated in Ireland’s top 150 best employers which reflects the progress we have made over the last year.

Sustainability is an area where we have seen significant expansion and client interest. As businesses increasingly prioritise environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, our comprehensive sustainability offering is gaining traction. We are helping clients develop and implement sustainability strategies that align with global standards and drive long-term value. Our expertise spans a range of services, from sustainability reporting and assurance to advising on carbon reduction initiatives and sustainable finance. By integrating sustainability into our service offerings, we are supporting clients in achieving their ESG goals, mitigating risks, and capitalising on new opportunities in a rapidly evolving market.

Our growth strategy is built around deepening client relationships, enhancing our service capabilities, and expanding into areas where we see strong potential. We are confident that our strategic focus on quality, combined with our agility in adapting to market dynamics, will position us well for sustained success in the coming years. As we continue to expand our expertise and service offerings, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of quality, ensuring that our clients receive the insights and support they need to thrive in an increasingly complex business landscape.
