Held at the beautiful Killashee Hotel in Kildare, the event opened with an in-depth and highly engaging workshop on Ireland’s upcoming pension auto-enrolment scheme. Led by Tadhg Moriarty, Tax & Client Services Lead, the session provided franchisees with clarity on the new employer obligations due to be introduced when auto-enrolment launches in January 2026.
Tadhg explained: “This workshop is just one part of the extensive preparation we’re undertaking ahead of auto-enrolment. In recent months, we’ve published a comprehensive employer guide, hosted a client webinar, and released a series of articles to help businesses understand what’s coming. There is real strength in being part of a network – both franchisees and clients benefit from this collective expertise and forward planning.”
The conference also included business updates from Managing Director Alison McGinley and TaxAssist Group CEO Daren Moore, as well as insights into strategic plans for 2026 and beyond. A series of peer-led best practice sessions rounded off the day, giving franchisees the opportunity to share real-world insights on growing and strengthening their practices.
Alison McGinley said: “It was fantastic to bring our network together again for this year’s conference. Meeting in person always reinforces the strong sense of community that exists across TaxAssist Accountants. The energy and collaboration in the room were exceptional, and the day proved incredibly productive. With major changes like auto-enrolment on the horizon, events like this ensure our franchisees are fully prepared and well supported. I’m immensely proud of the momentum in our network and excited for what’s ahead.”
