Colin Comerford

TAX PARTNER

Ger and I formed Comerford Foley to give our clients the quality of service and advice they deserve along the way. I love what I do. Being part of our clients story and protecting them as they grow their business is what I get out of bed for in the morning. If we have helped even in a small way that’s a good feeling.

ACCOUNTING PARTNER

Comerford Foley was founded from a desire to create a firm that can help small business owners achieve their goals while at the same time create a better personal life for myself and my family.

Catherine Sheehan

XERO SPECIALIST

I started working with Comerford Foley in 2018, excited by all the different aspects involved in the role (management accounts, finance, tax work) but mostly attracted to the family culture of the firm. I love helping people and solving problems. A lot of business owners are worried about accounts, tax, cashflow – I believe it’s our job to reduce the worry or eliminate it altogether!

Deirdre Foley

Coming from a 15 year stint working in sales for a number of large FMCG businesses, I joined Comerford Foley in 2018, moving into a fast moving office environment when I could make a difference, gain job satisfaction and have greater work life balance. As Office Manager, my job is all encompassing – dealing directly with clients, team and partners. We have so many nice clients that make my job a real joy – and I love getting stuff done!

Aedin Eachthigheirn

CLIENT MANAGER

I have always loved working with numbers. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction when everything balances! I’m a very organised person by nature so I love sorting books and records, getting everything processed and kept up to date. I joined the Comerford Foley team in 2015 having worked with Ger and Colin at a big four firm. The thing I love about CF is the relationship we have with our clients which I believe is so important. I consider them friends more than simply clients.
