Congratulations to Feargal McCormack who will receive the Outstanding Contribution to Accountancy Award at the Irish Accountancy Awards on 1st May at the Royal Dublin Convention Centre.
A former President of Chartered Accountants Ireland (2018-2019), Feargal founded the award-winning FPM Chartered Accountants in 1991 and subsequently, this was the first accountancy practice in Ireland to secure private equity funding in 2022, when it merged with AAB.
Feargal is currently AAB’s Senior Partner and Head of Family Business and was awarded Managing Partner of the Year at the 2018 British Accountancy Awards and was selected as the Irish Accountant of the Year in 2019.
Feargal has been awarded Honorary Doctorate degrees by both Queen’s University Belfast (2021) and Ulster University (2018) for his contribution to business and community on the island of Ireland.
In 2022, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Business Eye Magazine Awards for significant and lasting contributions to business, the accounting sector, the NI business community and the economy as a whole.
He is currently Senior Independent Governor on the Queen’s University Senate, Chairman of the GAA National Finance Committee at Croke Park, a Director of Co-operation Ireland and a Patron of Special Olympics Ireland.
Fully deserved recognition from his peers for Feargal who has given so much to the accountancy profession, his immeasurable contribution to the local economy in Newry and far beyond and huge congratulations once again ahead of the big awards night next month.
