"Ifac was founded to serve farmers and regional businesses, and that mission is as relevant today as it was in 1975. The landscape for our clients is changing — whether that’s the pressures on farm incomes, the demands of succession planning, or the opportunities that come with a more diversified regional economy. I look forward to working with the Board, leadership team and colleagues across the country to build on that legacy, support the firm’s continued growth, and ensure ifac remains a trusted partner to farming, food, agribusiness and family businesses throughout Ireland."

Michael Kennedy, ifac Chair

Our Sustainability Journey

At ifac, sustainability is more than a goal, it’s part of who we are. Since launching our Green Team in 2021, we’ve made real progress in reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting our local communities. Our teams across the country are actively working to make ifac a climate-positive business through everyday actions that matter. In March 2025, we were proud to become Ireland’s first professional services firm to achieve B Corp Certification, reflecting our commitment to social and environmental performance. We believe in using business as a force for good—creating long-term value for our clients, people, communities, and the planet.

Founding Member of the Pinion Global Network

Ifac is a founding member of the Pinion Global Network (PGN) which is a worldwide alliance of specialist food and agriculture advisory firms operating across Ireland, the United States, Australia and South Africa.

Through PGN, our advisors have access to international thought leadership, global benchmarking, and cross-border expertise — meaning ifac clients benefit from world-class global insight, delivered through the trusted local relationships ifac is known for.
