Azets acquires legal-firm consultants Outsource
Azets, the international accountancy and business-advisory group, has acquired Dublin-based Outsource, a specialist provider of financial and management consultancy services to legal firms.
The deal deepens Azets’ expertise in the legal sector as it aims to become Ireland's leading independent provider of specialist business advisory services.
Founded in 2000, Outsource helps small and medium-sized professional-services businesses improve financial performance, operational efficiency, and business management.
Led by David Rowe and Donal Maher, the business provides outsourced financial-management, bookkeeping and consultancy services to legal practices across Ireland.
Azets in Ireland was formed through acquisition in 2023 and has grown significantly, providing accounting, tax, audit, and advisory services to entrepreneurial, owner-managed and family-owned businesses.
David Rowe, Donal Maher, and their team will join Azets with immediate effect and relocate to Azets' Ireland headquarters at Mespil Road, Dublin.
Long-term relationships
David Rowe said "We have built Outsource around long-term relationships and helping clients navigate the operational and financial challenges of running successful legal practices.
“Joining Azets allows us to continue doing that while giving our clients access to a broader range of specialist expertise and services.”
Azets Ireland chief executive Neil Hughes said the acquisition strengthened its specialist capability in an important growth market.
