Welcome to Brown & Lombard
Brown and Lombard is an independent tax and accounting firm in Dublin. We have a particular focus on the needs of privately owned businesses, individuals, professional service companies, employers and practitioners such as accountants and solicitors.
Our practice was founded in 2012 by Cormac Brown, an AITI Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) and a Certified Accountant (ACCA). Cormac is a tax professional with over twenty years experience, much of which was spent in the taxation practices of Big 4 Accounting firms as well as with a top tier law firm.
His experience covers most areas of taxation, with an emphasis on direct and transactional taxes, and he has extensive experience in advising family and privately owned businesses on tax matters. He also has specific expertise in private company share schemes, and is currently a Council Member and Secretary (Part-Time) of the Irish Proshare Association.
He was appointed a Notary Public by the Chief Justice of Ireland in July 2011 and has a separate practice as a Notary Public.
Cormac has been a speaker at a wide range of taxation forums, including presentations to the Irish Taxation Institute, the ACCA and international groups of tax lawyers. He has published several articles in professional magazines, the most recent of which was on changes in taxation of share schemes and on the personal insolvency bill.
He was a member of the Tax Committee of the Law Society of Ireland for six years and was a member of TALC Direct Taxes for five years. Following the 2011 Budget he was chairman of the TALC sub-group set up to deal with issues arising from the extension of PAYE to share awards. The group comprised officials from Revenue and Department of Social Protection together with industry representatives and specialists. He holds a business degree from Trinity College Dublin and a Masters of Business Studies degree from University College Dublin.
