We are delighted to share the news that Conor Murphy has transitioned into Barden Munster’s Recently Qualified Accountants team.
After completing a degree in Economics at UCC and an MSc in Corporate Finance, Conor began his career at KPMG in Cork, working in audit and completing his ACA exams. After qualifying, he spent four years in Australia working as an accountant.
Conor joined the Barden team in May 2024 to support Jonathan Olden in developing the emerging practices division. His background in Big 4 and industry accounting positions him perfectly to transition into this new role and advise recently qualified accountants on their next career steps.
“I’m delighted to join the Finance & Accounting Talent Team at Barden Munster. This role feels like a natural fit for me, and I’m thrilled to work alongside a team that is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do. My journey started in KPMG Cork, where I qualified in Audit. I then spent four years in industry in Australia before moving to London for three years in Accounting & Finance Talent Advisory. Now back on home soil, I am thrilled to be able to support talent and clients in Cork & Munster.”- Conor Murphy ACA | Consultant | Recently Qualified Accountants | Munster
