A fellow of Chartered Accountants Ireland Gerard trained with one of the ‘Big Four’ accountancy practices before setting up his own practice.

Gerard is the firm’s managing partner and has been involved in delivering a range of audit, accountancy, taxation and business advisory services to clients in the SME sector for over 30 years.

During this period he spent a number of years in the retail sector as CEO of O’Brien’s Wines and played a leading role during a period of rapid expansion, growing the business from 9 outlets to 28 outlets across the country. This involved restructuring the business, building a management team, developing a marketing and brand strategy, repositioning the business within the sector and undertaking a series of acquisitions.

More recently he has been involved in several restructuring / corporate recovery / forensic assignments on behalf of clients. Recent work in this area included the preparation of a due diligence report for a bank on the finances of a leading Dublin hotel, which subsequently formed a central platform in a High Court case during which the report was interrogated and cross-examined by Senior Counsel leading to a successful outcome for the bank.

He also advised a US company in the healthcare sector, Oceana Therapeutics Inc., with regard to establishing an Irish head office for their European operations ultimately leading to the firm being appointed auditors and reporting accountants to the company.
