Local returns to Northern Ireland as Audit Director Derry native, Bronagh Bourke has recently returned to Northern Ireland as Audit Director with local accountancy firm, BDO Northern Ireland, part of the world’s largest European-led accountancy network, with offices in more than 154 countries worldwide.

Having obtained an LLB Honours degree from Queen’s University Belfast, Bronagh embarked on a career in accounting with a Big Four firm in Dublin. Bronagh believes her law degree equipped her with the ability to ensure client issues are resolved in a pragmatic manner, while also providing a solid foundation for a journey of continued development which resulted in the completion of post qualification diplomas in both IFRS and US GAAP. Firmly acknowledging that the application and communication of the technical aspects of accountancy, whilst important, is only one element in fulfilling clients’ expectations, Bronagh is of the belief that it is the ability to

identify and proactively respond to clients’ ever changing business needs that serves to nurture and strengthen a successful and collaborative working relationship. Currently working within the audit department of BDO NI, Bronagh is keen to differentiate both herself and the BDO offering as a whole from that of a stereotypical accountant. She believes that it is not only through the delivery of exceptional client service that you provide value added to clients, but also by becoming their trusted business advisor. Bronagh has significant experience across a number of sectors, working with entrepreneurial companies in the manufacturing, retail and IT/software sectors. Her current portfolio ranges from small to large locally-owned companies including some as listed in The Ulster Business Top 100.
