Client testimonials

“I moved back to Ireland having lived in the UK for years. The move back, with my multiple business interests both in the UK and Ireland, had difficult tax planning to get right. Laura took the pain away with the move back, including working with international tax advisors for my offshore interests.”
Niall Crosby
CEO AG Grid
“In the last ten years, HBAN has become a very complex organisation. L&J Tax has been a fabulous resource in helping HBAN scale, supporting with tax advice, EIIS advice, transaction support and back office services that has become part of the fabric of angel investing in Ireland. I would highly recommend L&J Tax to anyone considering their services.”
John Phelan
National Director, HBAN
“I was introduced to Laura by my son who recommended her firm. It was a great recommendation. Laura and her colleagues have handled both my and my wife’s tax affairs efficiently and effectively. I am happy to pass on the recommendation.”

“I have always been impressed with the way L&J Tax can tailor requirements based on the fairest and best interests of all involved, which is not easy when succession planning. Emer advised us with real sensitivity and absolute empathy to our family’s needs.”

“What separates L&J Tax from other firms we have used before is their professionalism, flexibility and ability to engage with us as a client. Response times have been excellent and all projects have been completed on time. Most importantly, even though acting as advisor, L&J Tax virtually became part of our internal management team during these transactions, building trust and challenging consensus when required.”
Ronan Murphy
CEO CWSI
“We recently worked with Emer to design an ESOP for a key investment. We found the team at L&J Tax to be very professional, knowledgeable and approachable. We would highly recommend their services to anyone”.

“We are an early growth company. Emer has provided us with a wealth of information, put a new structure in place for the business, and has offered support as we grow and approach investors and Enterprise Ireland. I would thoroughly recommend L&J Tax to assist your company if it is growing quickly.”
