Claire leads Crowe Ireland’s Employment Tax Advisory Services practice, encompassing employment tax, global mobility, payroll compliance and advisory solutions, and reward services.
A Fellow of Chartered Accountants Ireland and an AITI Chartered Tax Adviser, Claire brings over 20 years of experience navigating the complex and ever-changing employment tax landscape. Her technical expertise, combined with practical business insights, has established her as a trusted advisor helping organisations unlock their full potential while managing increasingly sophisticated compliance requirements.
The Irish employment tax landscape has transformed dramatically with Real-Time Reporting (RTR) and Enhanced Employer Reporting (EER) requirements fundamentally changing how Revenue monitors compliance. Claire regularly advises clients on the critical importance of robust payroll processes in this heightened environment. Her expertise spans complex employment tax matters, international assignment structuring, payroll compliance and advisory solutions, and sophisticated reward and incentive arrangements.
Claire's approach combines deep technical knowledge with genuine passion for building lasting client relationships. Her clients benefit from practical insights that translate complex technical requirements into clear, actionable strategies.
Claire has extensive experience advising multinational corporations on cross-border employment structures, supporting indigenous Irish businesses through their international expansion, and providing strategic guidance to public sector organisations on complex workforce arrangements. Her expertise encompasses domestic employment tax matters, tax-efficient assignment policies, equity compensation planning, payroll outsourcing solutions, and navigating the evolving regulatory landscape for internationally mobile employees.
In today’s data-driven compliance environment, where sophisticated analytics enable targeted interventions rather than traditional audits, Claire helps clients understand that robust PAYE processes represent essential risk management strategy rather than simply operational necessity. She supports organisations through comprehensive PAYE health checks and revenue interventions to identify potential risks and implement appropriate risk management strategies.
She regularly advises on emerging areas including remote working policies, business traveller compliance, and the tax implications of hybrid working arrangements.
Beyond her professional practice, Claire serves on the board of County Kildare Chamber, the largest business organisation in the mid-east region of Ireland, representing over 400 businesses and 38,000 employees. This strategic role reflects her commitment to supporting business growth and economic development, while providing valuable insights into the real-world challenges facing Irish businesses today.
Claire’s client-focused philosophy centres on the belief that exceptional technical expertise, combined with genuine understanding of business objectives, creates the foundation for lasting partnerships that help organisations thrive in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
