BFBC

Tax Specialists & Forensic Accountants

About Us

BF Business Consulting Dac is a Consulting Company that specialises in advising clients in key areas of:

  • Tax Planning
  • Business Consulting
  • Forensic Accounting & Litigation Support

    • The Company was established by Leslie Barrett and Richard Fahy, two experienced professionals with specific and extensive experience in each of these areas.



    The Company addresses a market need for bespoke and creative advice provided directly by the principals themselves. We found that many professional Firms offer a very wide range of services and may not be capable of offering depth of experience in key specialist areas. That is where we come in. We can provide specialist services to such Firms and their clients.


    Richard and Leslie are dynamic, creative and experienced professionals with a wealth of hands on business experience with backgrounds in "Big 4" Accountancy firms and blue chip Multinational organisations.


    We are results driven professionals with commercial and business acumen. We are client and solution focused and our key aim is to deliver for you and your business.
