Let us tell you a bit about us.

Our backgrounds, our values & our vision

Our Story

Having built careers in Ireland’s top tier advisory firms, Mark Doyle and Paula Keaney wanted to establish a next generation firm. One that would cut through the noise of complex tax matters and that truly put the client and their needs front and centre. A firm where they could partner with leaders in business, offering tailored, innovative and commercial solutions. In 2017 they founded Doyle Keaney.

What we do

Doyle Keaney is a boutique tax advisory firm that offers expert, client-centred innovative advice. The firm is led by highly qualified, experienced and personable professionals. We are dedicated to offering advice that is shaped by the specific needs and interests of our clients.

Our nimble approach is driven by team thought solutions using the combined experience of our team. This means that for every piece of work, we collectively tease out the objectives, obstacles and ultimate preferred outcomes to develop bespoke solutions. As colleagues, we work as a team, tapping into each of our areas of expertise and range of experience to find the ‘right’ solutions.

Our reach

We work with leaders in family businesses, professional services firms and Irish SMEs, who seek out trusted advisors. They know that by working with Doyle Keaney, they are getting the highest level professional advice from fellow commercial thinkers and innovative problem solvers.

We partner with many leading accountancy and legal practices. In the absence of in-house experts, we bolster their service with sophisticated tax advice and commercial experience, adding value to the client and enhancing their overall client offering.

For our private clients, we understand that the conversation about tax can be daunting. The size of our business allows us to offer a highly discrete and personal approach to individual tax planning and developing individual creative and bespoke tax solutions.

Our people hail from all corners of Ireland. This gives us a nationwide foothold and a deep rooted understanding of doing business across the regions.

After a successful career as Tax Director with Grant Thornton, the entrepreneur in me forged a new path. A fellow of Chartered Accountants Ireland and an AITI-Chartered Tax Advisor, I founded Doyle Keaney with Paula in 2017.

My areas of expertise span across multiple tax specialisms including:

Succession planning
Personal tax planning
Corporate reconstructions
Mergers and acquisitions
MBOs
Share buybacks
Property transactions
Revenue Interventions

I have the privilege of sharing my expertise by speaking extensively for professional bodies. I particularly enjoy this as it keeps me engaged with my peers and at the forefront of tax legislation.

When I am not advising clients, I write for professional publications and contribute to articles in the national press on tax matters. I am the sole author of ‘Capital Gains Tax: A Practitioners Guide’ published by Chartered Accountants Ireland.

My 20 year career has been shaped from working in Ireland’s largest professional services firms, namely Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton and Mazars. Together with Mark, I founded the specialist firm we have today, Doyle Keaney.

I am a Chartered Tax Advisor and fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. I have worked with hundreds of owner managed business and high net worth individuals, advising on:

Mergers and acquisitions
Debt restructuring
Succession planning
Property transactions
Share Schemes
Share Buy Backs

Writing technical papers and lecturing on various tax matters are activities that I enjoy and that I deem essential as a professional advisor. I work in collaboration with the Irish Taxation Institute, Chartered Accountants Ireland, Chartered Certified Accountants, The Law Society of Ireland and the Irish Tax Review.

Having grown up in the West of Ireland, near the inspiring Atlantic coast, I am steadily growing a client base from East to West of the country.

I worked for many years with Mark and Paula in Grant Thornton and joined Doyle Keaney in 2020. As a Barrister-at-Law and a Chartered Tax Advisor, I bring a legal dimension to the team. Having worked in large accountancy practices and as a Tax Partner in law firm Philip Lee, I understand the value to the client of the joint offering.

With 20 years’ experience, my expertise lies across both corporate and personal tax areas including:

Mergers and acquisitions
Corporate transactions, restructurings and mergers
Succession, Estate and retirement planning
Property transactions
Stamp duty
Revenue Interventions
Tax Litigation
Share Schemes

I have significant technical writing experience as author and co-author of ‘Bloomsbury’s Irish Law of Stamp Duty’ and ‘Corporate Transactions: Tax and Legal Issues’ on behalf of the Irish Taxation Institute. To remain at the cutting edge of tax legislation, I regularly speak at conferences and sit on committees across multiple professional organisations.

As with all Corkonians, my roots are strong and I work and partner with many firms across the South of the country.
