Kevin as an EFM Ireland Finance Director

EFM Ireland Finance Directors are not ‘just accountants’. They provide excellent incisive information on a more timely basis to reorganise your business and aid your decision-making process. They implement plans to enhance profit margins, provide strategic support, and assist with business plans, funding proposals, and other key areas that affect your profitability and cash flow.

An EFM Ireland Finance Director takes an active role, and your business views and opinions might be challenged – from pricing to distribution strategy, from marketing plans to remuneration – to ensure your business plan and direction is financially viable.

No business deserves to be without a Finance Director, even if for one day a month. Our Finance directors will be the credible sounding board your business needs to take it to the next level and our business model ensures that your finance function is cost-effective and efficient.

 “I am passionate about the Irish SME community. I have been working in & with technology, not-for-profits, and service SMEs for over 20 years. Covid-19 has accelerated the move to technology and prompted a lot of soul-searching from business owners on why they do what they do. Currently, there is huge support needed for Irish SMEs in financial management, governance, and strategic business advice. 

Last year I reflected on how I could use and develop my skills to have a bigger impact in supporting SMEs to be more resilient and sustainable. When I researched EFM I found our values of accountability, fairness, and transparency aligned. EFM’s experience and track record in supporting and achieving success with SMEs at all stages is superb. 

The mentoring, training, and support from everyone I’ve met in EFM have been excellent.  

I am delighted to join the EFM family and look forward to being part of this vital & growing community.”
