Meet the Team

Dawn O’Connor

Dawn started the practice from a spare room at home in 1990 after she left Ernst & Young in order to spend more time with her young family. Having grown the business from such a small start she can fully appreciate the challenges faced by new entrepreneurs. Her experience of managing the audits of household name companies means she is equally comfortable dealing with much larger entities so clients know they will continue to receive good and informed advice as they grow.
