Professional services firm Kinore is targeting revenues of €15m by 2028 after completing the acquisitions of three Irish firms, based in Cork and Dublin.
Kinore has agreed deals for Martin & Co Accountants in Cork, and Dublin-based Clear Group Accountants and Only Audit Limited. Martin & Co delivers accounting, bookkeeping, auditing, and tax consultancy services. Clear Group, founded in 2009 provides accounting, payroll, and tax services. Only Audit Limited is a dedicated audit practice, supporting accounting firms across Ireland with independent audits.
Kinore says its acquisition strategy is designed to provide a clear, supportive alternative for founders planning the next stage of their business. “What Kinore offers is a clear, supportive path forward that protects what they’ve built and gives them confidence to step back at the right time,” said Kinore founder and chief executive Larissa Feeney.
“For me, the real opportunity is in bringing genuine value to the owners of small firms,” Ms Feeney said. “Many sole practitioners are under increasing pressure, and those demands can pull them away from the work they do best. By providing that additional support, we allow founders to step back with confidence, knowing their clients are being looked after properly and their legacy is protected.”
Kinore was formerly known as Accountant Online and is a leading cloud accounting and advisory firm. The company was lau.1m in 2024. Before the acquisition of Martin & Co, Clare Group, and Only Audit, Kinore aleady employed 75 professionals. It aims to double that number over the next year.
Kinore’s head of cloud services Kiera McFeely said cultural alignment and early engagement were key to their successful acquisitions. “Our experience with acquisitions so far has been really positive. It’s shown us just how important strong cultural alignment and open, early communication are. These have been key to smooth integrations and keeping things moving from day one.”
