In the hot seat today for our Expertly Put series is multi-hyphenate Niamh Sterling, a woman whose previous and current roles include founder, consultant, angel investor and Dogpatch Labs Entrepreneur in Residence. Sterling speaks to our very own Stuart Fitzgerald about early-stage investments for HPSUs, reassuring investors, how to learn from mistakes effectively and the big difference between first and second-time founders.

We come bearing opportunities and buns 🍰 A big bualadh bos to Eimear Brett and Laura Delahunty for sharing the good word of Fitzgerald Power’s interns and summer placements programme yesterday at the South East Technological University fair. They managed to communicate a number of FP perks to some hungry students, and interest them in a summer Déise-side. Who knows, they might have even found a future FP Partner… Missed out on their sparkling wit and sponge cake? No bother, simply head to https://hubs.li/Q03bHSMk0 for more information, including blogs from previous interns.

“People talk about a housing crisis, but it’s more appropriate at this stage to call it an emergency.” For this month’s edition of our Inside The C-Suite series, we sat down with Shane Quinlan, MD of Sherry FitzGerald Finance, to discuss his insights into the Irish housing market and advice on how long-term financial planning is key to ensure you have financial security when it comes to retirement, especially now that we are living longer and working into our 70's.

In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating March 8 as #InternationalWomensDay. They did so with the hope of eventually not needing it. Though that day can still feel far from where we are now, #IWD is an important reminder of the ambition, resilience and determination of women and girls around the world. For the day that’s in it, we asked some of the women of Fitzgerald Power to share the words they associate with women in our industry. Because where there’s a woman, there is business being done. #teamFP #accounting #accountancy #irishbusiness #IWD2025 #EmpowerWomen #WomenInLeadership #GirlPower #WomensDay
