The Irish arm of international consultancy firm EU reported revenues of €880m during its latest financial year, a 4.4% increase, as it expanded its operations across the country.

EY Ireland operates across the island of Ireland, with the majority of its revenue coming from the Republic — €810m, up from €781m the year prior. The company reported a five-year compound annual growth rate of 15.7%.   EY Ireland’s latest financial year ended on June 30.

The company employs more than 5,600 people across the island. It said it had grown its regional employment — across Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford — by 53% over the past four years.

Earlier this month, the company opened its new headquarters in Wilton Park, Dublin, and in February it announced an expansion of its Cork offices on Lapps Quay. The firm now has 158 equity partners across the island including 144, in the Republic of Ireland. 

Managing partner at EY Ireland Frank O’Keeffe said the company “delivered another solid performance in our most recent financial year”.

“During the year, we expanded our Cork office and moved to our new headquarters at Wilton Park, Dublin. These offices allow us to leverage the latest cutting-edge technologies and facilities as we continue to stay focused on delivering premium quality and innovative services to our clients,” he said.

“As we look to our next financial year, we recognise that the external environment is changing at pace and we are confident that the investments we have made position our firm for the future. We remain more committed than ever to supporting our clients, our people and our communities.”   

The company also reported giving €677,000 to charitable causes in the Republic of Ireland during the financial year, between fundraising, sponsorships and direct payments. Employees and partners at the firm also contributed 23,764 hours to societal initiatives and pro-bono work.
