Accountant Jobs

Accounting and audit remain bedrock career paths in Ireland, with 196 active roles reflecting the country's status as a European financial services hub. Dublin dominates with 130 positions, but the nationwide presence of firms like FDC Group ensures strong opportunities in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Kildare, and Donegal.

Grant Thornton is the largest single recruiter with 17 open positions, including Senior Corporate Auditors at its Dublin office. GT has nearly 3,000 people across 9 offices in Ireland, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, and Bermuda, operating as part of a global network of over 68,000 professionals. The firm positions itself as a trusted advisor with a blend of local knowledge and global expertise. Deloitte also recruits actively for IT Audit and Controls Assurance roles at various levels from Semi-Senior through to Senior Manager.

The fintech sector adds a modern twist to the profession. Revolut has 12 open positions including Head of Internal Audit based in Mullingar — a senior role creating internal risk management and compliance processes for a company serving 70+ million customers globally, certified as a Great Place to Work. HedgeServ at Riverside One on Sir John Rogerson's Quay recruits Fund Accountants for its alternative investment administration business. MUFG Investor Services and Northern Trust both hire for fund accounting and financial operations roles, reinforcing Dublin's position as a European fund administration centre.

For those who prefer practice work, FDC Group — established in 1973 with headquarters in Cork and 50+ office locations nationwide — is hiring Part Qualified and Qualified Accountants across offices including Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. These roles involve full management of a client portfolio spanning sole traders, partnerships, and audit-exempt companies, with a strong emphasis on local community relationships.

What qualifications are employers looking for? ACA, ACCA, and CIMA designations are the gold standard, though part-qualified candidates are actively recruited by firms like FDC and Grant Thornton. The most common titles include Financial Accountant, Treasury Manager, Senior Accountant, Financial Controller, and Management Accountant. Specialised roles in fund accounting, internal audit, and IT audit command premiums, particularly for candidates with experience in regulated financial services environments. Canonical and Turner & Townsend add interesting variety — proving that accounting roles extend well beyond the traditional Big Four and practice firms into technology and construction consultancy. Whether you're a newly qualified accountant or aiming for Head of Internal Audit, the Irish market offers clear, well-compensated career progression in one of the economy's most essential professions.
