Barden, Ireland’s leading Talent Advisory and Recruitment Firm, is proud to announce the appointment of Jack O’Regan ACA as Associate in our Recently Qualified Accountants team in Leinster.
After studying Commerce at UCC, Jack began his trainee contract with the Deloitte Dublin audit department. During his time there, he worked with large PLCs, gaining great exposure to complex financial environments and building a strong technical foundation.
After completing his contract and obtaining his ACA qualification, Jack moved to Australia, starting with regional work in Queensland before settling in Sydney, where he held two contract roles in property accounting. These roles gave him a fresh perspective on the industry and allowed him to adapt quickly to new environments and ways of working.
On his return to Ireland, Jack became increasingly curious about exploring new ways to apply his qualification beyond traditional accounting roles. After meeting with the Barden team, our people-first approach strongly resonated with Jack, reaffirming that Barden was exactly the kind of organisation he wanted to be part of.
“I am really looking forward to working with the fantastic Barden team. Everyone I’ve met so far has been incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. It’s clear that Barden has built a culture where collaboration, learning, and genuine care for people are at the heart of everything. I’m excited to be part of that environment and to contribute to it. I’m also looking forward to working with clients who are leaders in their industries, as well as with interesting, fast-growing businesses.
Having very recently been part of the newly qualified talent pool myself, I’m particularly excited about working with newly qualified accountants. I believe I can offer valuable insights and guidance to others navigating that same transition. It’s a space I understand well, and I’m passionate about helping others make confident, informed career decisions.” – Jack O’Regan | Associate | Recently Qualified Accountants | Barden Leinster

Having trained in practice and worked in industry overseas, he brings a fantastic blend of expertise and insight to our team and will be well placed to help other recently qualified accountants achieve their career goals.

“Thrilled to welcome Jack O’Regan to Barden.

His intellect, sense of humour and genuine interest in making a difference in people’s lives make him the perfect fit for Barden.” – Elaine Brady | Managing Partner | Barden Leinster
