Hugh Connolly joined the network in 2020, taking over the established practice in Tallaght. Since then, his practice has gone from strength to strength, growing steadily and earning a strong reputation in the local business community. Building on this success, Hugh has now opened a second location to meet increasing demand.
“Clondalkin is a well-developed suburb in Southwest Dublin with a diverse economic base,” said Hugh. “It’s home to a wide range of SMEs, family-run businesses, larger employers, and thriving industrial estates - all of which contribute to strong demand for reliable tax and accounting services. I look forward to becoming an active part of the business community here.
“The practice has grown significantly in Tallaght, so opening a second location in Clondalkin was a natural next step. I’m delighted with how the new shop has turned out - it’s in a fantastic location with great visibility, which is already bringing in walk-in clients. This expansion allows us to support even more local individuals and businesses with expert, accessible accounting services.
“I’d encourage anyone interested in finding out more about our services to pop in for a free initial consultation. You can visit my website www.taxassist.ie/accountants/clondalkin or give us a call on 1800 98 76 09.”
Alison McGinley, Managing Director of TaxAssist Accountants, commented: “I’d like to extend my congratulations to Hugh on his continued success over the past five years, and now on the opening of his second shop. It’s fantastic to see the network growing and our new branding rolled out across more locations.”
