“I joined Leahy O’Riordan three years ago as a part-qualified accountant. I’d been in industry, but felt I would learn more in a practice. It was the right decision to join this company. Everybody is really friendly and supportive, there’s such a diversity of knowledge and always someone to give you advice. I’m now a portfolio manager with a great range of clients. The work is interesting and I’ve learned so much more than I would have in industry. I would highly recommend it.”
