Professional services and accountancy firm Ifac said its workforce grew by 10% last month with 67 new hires, bringing the company's total workforce past 600 employees.

Ifac specialises in farming, food, agri, and family business. On Wednesday it said it plans to create a further 200 new jobs over the next three years as the firm continues to expand in new service lines and increases its regional footprint. The company is also targeting an expansion at its Dublin-based corporate advisory specialist Friel Stafford. 

“The addition of 67 new colleagues in June reflects both the continued growth of our business and our confidence in the future of Ireland’s indigenous business community. While businesses across many sectors continue to navigate economic uncertainty, we are seeing strong demand from clients for trusted advice and support as they plan, invest, and grow," said Ifac chief executive and managing partner John Donoghue.

“The resilience and ambition of Ireland's owner-managed businesses continues to create opportunities. We are investing in our people, specialist capabilities, technology platform and office network to meet that demand. We remain firmly committed to our hybrid and remote working models, which give ifac people the flexibility to build successful careers while staying rooted in their local communities."

Ifac now has 30 offices nationwide. 

In February, Ifac acquired three established Irish practices: North Cork firm Michael G Murphy Accountants, expanding its coverage in Cork, West Limerick, and Munster; Cavan's Con Dolan Accountants, covering the wider border region; and Peter Moore & Company, based in Mullingar and operating across the Midlands.
