It all started in 1999 with two qualified, experienced and forward thinking accountants, Alan Crowe and Seamus McLoughlin who possessed a keen insight into the necessary components of success and came together to form a firm serving the needs of the business community. Nearly twenty years later Crowe McLoughlin & Co. is now one of the Country’s busiest, quality assessed and accredited accounting firms.
We provide more than traditional accounting, auditing and tax services. We thrive on solving problems, reducing tax liabilities, easing the financial audit process, managing and planning for growth, and preparing for the future. We have been recognized nationally as an “ACCA Quality Checked Firm”.
