About me, Barra Ó hÍr

With over 23 years of experience and a background as an FCCA (Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), I bring both strategic insight and a deep understanding of financial management to every client I work with.

My role isn’t just about giving advice from a distance — it’s about being present, involved, and a true partner in your business journey.

I believe in clear communication, making complex financial and strategic concepts easy to understand, and delivering practical, actionable solutions that drive real results.

Testimonials

BBSF engaged Barra from Córla a number of months ago, from day one the advice and suggested processes were both practical and easy to implement. Barra took the time to fully understand our business and genuinely shared in our desire to take the business to the next stage.

We found Barra and Corla CFO Services easy to work with and very knowledgeable in all areas of finance. Having Barra on board allowed us to work on the business instead of in the business and we improved and tweaked many processes as a result. As a rapidly growing business it was vitally important that we grew our accounting processes along with the business so that we could stay ahead with cashflow and money collection at all times. Barra’s help and expertise was invaluable during this period. I highly recommend Barra and Corla CFO Services! Thank you Barra for your professionalism and advice.

Barra from Córla Consulting helped me greatly in growing my existing business and transitioning from a sole trader to a limited company. He gave me great insights into running the business side of things with extra focus on financial management. He also helped me to form a new start-up advising on business plan development, strategic planning and boosted my overall business knowledge. His help as a mentor has truly been invaluable in growing my business.

Luisa Notaro

As the founder of a technology start-up, there’s a lot going on at the same time. Delivering a product that people will want to pay for and then selling it is how most companies survive and grow. It’s easy to lose focus on this, especially as an engineer that likes to build things. Companies fail when they do not sell; most companies that fail do so for this reason. Barra Ó hÍr from Córla understands this: while always companionable, he brings a pragmatic focus on this bottom line with an ability to listen, reflect and provide practical suggestions. He has been a trusted counsellor for our continuing adventure.
