Paul Farrell FCCA, CPA.

Qualified as an ACCA in 1985 and became a member of the CPA Institute in 1995. He joined W.O.McGrory & Company. in 1985 and became a Partner in 1988. Paul works closely with all our clients to ensure that their specific and changing business needs are taken care of. “In the Practice we work with start-up businesses right the way through to second-generation family firms. A high percentage of our work these days is carried out at the client’s premises. Our experience shows that new and existing clients get better value for money when their accountant actually calls to their own business premises. The advantages include:

• Better value for money
• Better and more focused quality of service
• Improvement in client’s knowledge of business performance as there is more client involvement
• No more time-consuming trips to Accountants office.

It’s possible therefore to have a qualified Accountant visit for 1 day a month which gives the client all the expertise they need without any onerous employer costs or commitments.”

is the Office Manager. Tony qualified as a CPA in 2000 and joined W.O.McGrory & Company. in 2001. Tony works closely with Paul on a day-to-day basis as a key part of what our clients regard as ‘their’ finance department.
