How we operate

Accounting Technicians Ireland is managed and operated by a Board of Directors and 21 executive staff. The Board is responsible for managing the business of the organisation and for implementing a strategic vision.
Our Board of Directors is made up of eight directors and a secretary. Four of these board directors are members of Accounting Technicians Ireland that have been elected and the other four board directors are nominated by our partner body, Chartered Accountants Ireland. The Board meets at regular intervals during the year and also for our AGM held in June.
The Board of Directors is led by the Officer Group. This group is made up of our President, Vice President and Immediate Past President. These positions are only held by Board members and the term of office is one year.
The day to day management of Accounting Technicians Ireland is handled by our CEO, Gay Sheehan who is supported by the Directors for Education, Marketing and IT.
Working under senior management we have the following dedicated departments supporting all of our student’s and member’s needs:
- Member Services
- Student Services
- IT
- Finance and Administration
To further facilitate our students and members we also provide a professional placement and careers service through Accounting Technicians Recruitment. The team is on hand to keep all students and members up to date with the latest accountancy vacancies in both practice and industry.
