About Adrian Markey

Adrian Markey FCA FIATI Director

Adrian Markey | Chartered Accountants is a Warrenpoint-based practice serving small businesses, contractors and individuals across the UK and the island of Ireland.

Founded in 2016 by Adrian Markey, the firm has grown into a team of Chartered Accountants, Accounting Technicians and trainees who handle day-to-day client work.

Two specialisms set the firm apart from a typical practice: cross-border taxation across NI and ROI, and an unusually heavy use of AI and automation in both our own work and what we build for clients. The latter spans finance-function automation, integrating AI tools into existing workflows, and lightweight app development for specific business problems.

Beyond the specialisms, we work with contractors, sole traders and small limited companies on both sides of the border, with the level of involvement shaped to what each client actually needs — some closely, across bookkeeping, management accounts, tax and ongoing advice; others once a year for compliance. As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) registered with Companies House, the firm also handles director and PSC identity verification.

Twice nominated for Accounting Excellence awards (New Firm of the Year 2017, Practice Pioneer 2018). Adrian has also been featured in the national press for his work on cryptocurrency taxation, a niche the firm continues to support.
