Chartered Accountants
Meet The Team
I believe you can learn everything you need to know about a person by how they run their business and how they spend their money — and most people can. That belief has shaped my entire career.
I’m a Chartered Accountant trained with PwC in Dublin and Grand Cayman, and now also a Director of QuickWorks Ltd., a specialized online accounting business dedicated to transforming how entrepreneurs understand and manage their finances.
I’m deeply involved in building powerful financial tools and learning platforms, including ProfitLab.ie, KevinBarry.ie, and the broader QuickWorks ecosystem. My mission is simple: help business owners make better decisions, gain financial confidence, and unlock the living your life freedom that technology-driven accounting brings.
Outside of work, I’m usually somewhere surfing, fly fishing, following rugby or GAA, or getting a bit too competitive on the golf course. Some of my favourite pastimes include cooking, barbecuing, and running on the beach — usually as an excuse to escape electronics for a minute before they inevitably find me again. Looking forward to throwing my mobile phone off a cliff!
Annett arrived in Ireland from Germany for a summer break more than 20 years ago and liked it so much she decided to stay.
She has been an integral part of the team at Kevin Barry & Co for more than ten years.
Annett is a fully qualified Accounting Technician and a member of Accounting Technicians Ireland. Outside the office, Annett likes fast cars, photography and all the glamour that goes with that.
She climbed to Mount Everest Base Camp in 2014 and recalls the views and people up there as unforgettable.
Lisa has a distinction in Business and Secretarial studies and is currently studying part time to be an Accounting Technician with Accounting Technicians Ireland.
Outside of number crunching, Lisa has a great passion for Architecture and Design. She also has a great fondness for art and loves to paint Clifden’s local scenery. Lisa’s favourite phrase is: “A smooth Sea never made a skilled sailor.”
From Cill Chiaráin, in the Connemara Gaeltacht and a native Irish speaker. Studied English and Spanish for bachelor’s degree in NUI, Galway and went on to study a Postgraduate diploma in Business and then started working in the accounting sector.
On days off I love walking and swimming on Gurteen beach, Roundstone, with my family! My big ambition is to sky dive over the Grand Canyon in the next 5 years.
I joined our practice in 2021 as Administrator and have a keen interest in AML procedures. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their businesses and what makes them work best. Outside of the office, I speak 6 languages and like to climb the local Diamond mountain with my family, travelling and reading. I have left my life as a former professional singer behind and do not miss my time on the road one bit.
Originally from Germany, I moved to Ireland over 10 years ago and quickly fell in love with its culture and welcoming community. With a background in Celtic Studies and a lifelong passion for languages, duck hunting and cultures, I bring a global perspective and genuine enthusiasm to everything I do. After completing my studies in Business Administration and Bookkeeping, I’m thrilled to be part of Kevin’s team, where I can combine my skills with my love of working with people and exploring new opportunities. Outside the office, you’ll often find me reading Yeats Poetry, swimming with Dolphins and Seals, enjoying turf cutting, or spending quality time with my family.
