I am Derval Kennedy. I am a freelance Chartered Accountant, Certified Bookkeeper and Certified Non-Executive Director. I have 18 years of accounting, auditing, financial control, project and programme management, change\u00a0 management, remote people management, relationship management and business advisory experience in an international environment.<\/p>\n
I am Big 4 trained having started my career with KPMG, with whom I enjoyed working for 8 years. After time spent in industry and financial services, I took a career break to focus on my family life and the education of my children.<\/p>\n
Returning to my roots in practice, I set up Profit Expertise to serve accounting and bookkeeping practices in Ireland and the UK, and enable them to profit from the wide-ranging expertise and experience that I have gained along the way.<\/p>\n
