Copsey Murray

What Copsey Murray does

Copsey Murray is a Dublin-headquartered chartered accountancy firm operating as TPRD Accountancy and Advisory Limited, founded in 1974 and serving individuals and businesses in Ireland from its Charter House office in Dublin City Centre. The firm delivers a full-stack professional services offering organized around six core disciplines — accounting, audit and assurance, taxation, corporate compliance and advisory, succession planning, and corporate recovery and insolvency — supplemented by bookkeeping, payroll, corporate finance, and debt refinancing services. Its client base is horizontally segmented across Irish SMEs, individuals, startups, multinational companies with Irish operations, not-for-profits/charities, and apartment owners' management companies, with services delivered under a lead-partner model that provides continuity and a single point of contact.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market with no proprietary technology platform; delivery relies on third-party practice management, payroll, and bookkeeping software (including Surfaccounts and Dext). Revenue is generated through billable professional services on a quote-based pricing model with no publicly disclosed rates or tiers. The firm is registered to carry out statutory audit work by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI), and is a long-standing member of MGI Worldwide (joined 1967), a Top 20 international accounting network providing access to 8,000+ professionals across 400+ locations in 100+ countries for cross-border client mandates. The four directors (Tim O'Keeffe, Paul O'Keeffe, Robert Bulman, David Kenny) and three consultants (Tony Kenny, Andrew Gelling, Martin Jacob) lead a 17-person team of qualified accountants, trainees, and support staff.

Strategically, the firm has shown no M&A, no external funding, and no geographic expansion beyond Ireland and UK-bound MGI referrals. Its most observable forward signals are trainee-level hiring across 2022-2025 and incremental digital tooling adoption, consistent with steady-state professional services operations rather than growth-stage scaling. The firm is privately held with no parent company or institutional investors and no public listing.
