“I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW MY CLIENTS’ MOTIVATIONS, CHALLENGES & GOALS.”

As a Senior Manager in our Private Client team, Caroline Murphy’s role is to navigate her clients and their businesses through the complex world of tax. She is responsible for managing Irish personal tax and corporate tax. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying tax planning opportunities for clients, whether they are an individual or multinational business, and execution of same.

Caroline is also heavily involved in unravelling revenue audits and swiftly engaging with clients and tax authorities to resolve even the most complex tax investigations.

Alongside this, Caroline introduces her clients to our fantastic team of cross-border and R&D tax specialists, as and when required, to make sure tax saving opportunities are fully explored and compliance obligations are fully met across both jurisdictions.

GAINING INSIGHT INTO CLIENTS’ BUSINESSES

“It is essential in my role to get a real insight into my clients’ businesses in order to fully understand their needs, particularly the ones they have not yet considered. This is why my mantra with clients is ‘Tell me…’ – I wants to know: What are your motivations? What challenges keep you awake at night? Where do you want to be in three, five and ten years? When I have an insight into these areas, that’s when I know our team can excel with the best strategic tax solutions for each client’s needs.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF RELATIONSHIPS

“I am actively involved with the North East Business Academy networking group which affords me the opportunity to meet and build relationships with other businesses, share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences, which I find invaluable.”

MY CAREER JOURNEY

“20 years ago, my teacher recommended a new course in DKIT, The Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Finance. Well, am I ever glad I took their advice, as it started me along my career path and has bought me to where I am today, a qualified accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor with the Irish Taxation Institute, who has the pleasure of supporting and advising clients since 2002.”

MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE

“I take great satisfaction from being a part of a client’s business success and to be able to say that I have made a positive difference to their journey.”
