London-based tax consultancy RCK Partners has announced its expansion to Ireland.

The company specialises in R&D tax credits and will seek to benefit from the high levels of R&D investment across Ireland, which is home to a substantial number of innovative businesses.

RCK is entering the market to support Irish-based businesses with specialist R&D tax credit expertise and meet existing demands from multinational clients who have a presence in Ireland.

The Irish business operations will be led by Kirsten Winsryg, an experienced R&D management accountant.

"Having spent over 10 years working in the R&D industry, I am delighted to be joining RCK as it launches into the Irish market and to take on the role of leading our efforts there," said Winsryg.

"I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact R&D can have on Irish businesses, and I am excited to work with many more to foster innovation and growth."

RCK recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and appointed James Gibson as chief executive.

“Due to our existing success with the UK marketplace, we always had ambitions to grow the business geographically," said Gibson.

"We are proud to be entering the Irish market to provide better support to innovative businesses to encourage greater R&D investment in the country.

"We’re looking forward to working with Irish businesses and the highly skilled workforce based here, and I’m delighted Kirsten has come on board to support this expansion.”
