We are celebrating our 50th anniversary this year with ambitious plans for further expansion, including the creation of 400 new jobs over the next three years. Founded in 1975, ifac began as a specialist advisor to Irish farmers. Over five decades, we have seen remarkable growth, from undergoing a successful rebrand in 2018 to expanding our services in farming, food, agri-business, the SME space, tax, and audit to meet and exceed client needs.
Our continuously evolving growth strategy has included completing key acquisitions and diversification, service innovation, and significant investments in both people and technology. To further support our growth, we are planning to create 400 new jobs over the next three years and expand its services across the country.
With our growing 30-office footprint, today we have a dedicated team of 575 professionals supporting almost 30,000 clients across the country, including 18,000 producers, 3,000 clients in the agri-food sector, and 7,000 SMEs with a full suite of professional services, including accounting, tax, audit, corporate finance, consultancy, corporate recovery, payroll, financial planning, company secretarial, and business valuations.

Commenting on our ambitions for the future, our CEO, John Donoghue, said:
“With a strong reputation built on trust, community commitment, and expert advice, ifac is not only reflecting on a proud history , we are investing boldly in the future and the communities where we operate.
“While we continue to respect our heritage, the firm will continue to grow with Irish farmers and producers, alongside expanding into new markets. Our focus today is very much on continuous improvement, most recently marked by the launch of a new specialist team for mid to large SMEs. And as ifac enters its next chapter, our mission remains unchanged: to help clients succeed on the farm, in business, and beyond.”
