Baker Tilly Mooney Moore adds two to tax team

Accountancy and advisory firm Baker Tilly Mooney Moore has made two appointments to the Taxation Department amid a period of sustained growth and development. It has appointed Eugene Moore as tax manager, while Naomh McGrann has taken on the role of tax technician. It said the appointments mark “another step forward” for the Belfast-based team, which specialises in Audit and Assurance, Consulting, Taxation and Restructuring and Insolvency, following a busy period across all areas of the business. From beginning his career in Portadown, Moore brings over 16 years’ experience at both local general practice and large corporate tax team levels. Initially delivering Tax and Audit services for clients across multiple sectors including agriculture and medicine, he has specialised in Corporate Tax Advisory and Compliance over the last six years. Also starting off at local level, McGrann brings five years’ experience in personal tax from both a smaller practice in Lisburn and within the ‘Big 4’ bracket. The appointments follow the addition of Eimear Brown as its new head of Audit in August. Angela Keery, tax director at Baker Tilly Mooney Moore, said: “This is an important milestone for the firm as we welcome two consultants with a wealth of expertise to our growing Taxation Department. As our new tax manager, Eugene brings experience working with clients across Northern Ireland. Eugene has a corporate tax focus, working with local family businesses on company reorganisations and associated tax planning. “Naomh, who joins us as a Tax Technician, will apply her expertise and insights initially in managing personal tax cases to our varied client base of both established and new business. We are thrilled to have them both on board and believe their energy and attention to detail will bolster the team as we seek to deliver for our clients in this post-pandemic environment.” Moore added: “Joining the team at Baker Tilly Mooney Moore during a period of expansion and growth was an opportunity not to be missed as the firm goes from strength to strength. I look forward to applying my experience across various sectors to this all-encompassing role and contributing to the success of the Tax department and the firm overall.” McGrann said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the Tax Department at Baker Tilly Mooney Moore, which brings all the comfort of a smaller firm while operating on a higher level. As our clients navigate their post-pandemic recovery, it is both motivating and reassuring to join an expanding team. “I know there will be an endless number of opportunities, particularly through the Baker Tilly International network, and feel encouraged by all that is going on.”
