Services firm Azets Ireland is to expand its services in the South East with plans to double the number of employees in the region to 50 by the end of 2025.

The firm specialises in supporting entrepreneurial, owner-managed and family-owned businesses. The company is taking up new office premises in Senan House, Enniscorthy Technology Park, which will provide significant capacity for the firm to scale its presence in the region.

It will bolster Azets presence in the region with existing offices in Enniscorthy and Waterford, in addition to its national headquarters in Dublin.

The firm will begin recruiting for graduate and professional positions across business advisory, audit, tax, and fund management over the coming months. It plans to hire 50 graduates nationally across these areas to support its aim of doubling in size over the next 18 months.

In February, Azets completed a merger with PKF O'Connor, Leddy & Holmes, achieving a total headcount of more than 220 employees. The firm plans to employ 400 people by the end of 2025 across its headquarters in Dublin and regional offices in Enniscorthy and Waterford.

"As we grow, we believe it is crucial that we continue to address the needs of progressive businesses in communities across the country, who are the lifeblood of the Irish economy. That’s why I’m delighted to announce our commitment to significantly expand the Azets team in the South East," Neil Hughes, CEO of Azets Ireland, said.

“With businesses facing an evolving set of challenges from rising costs, to new regulatory requirements and talent shortages, trusted and expert advice is needed now more than ever to ensure that firms can successfully navigate a fast-changing business environment and meet their ambitious growth needs," Andrew Williamson, director, South East, at Azets Ireland, said.
