About Maria McHugh
Chartered Accountant & Owner
McHugh Accounting and Consultancy
Maria McHugh is a native of Dungarvan Co. Waterford, is married to Eoghan and together they have 3 young children. The family have recently moved back to Dungarvan after 17 years in Dublin.
​
Maria has a BSc Finance from UCC (2004) and went on to qualify as a Chartered Accountant with PwC. Maria was admitted to Chartered Accountants Ireland in 2007 and is now a fellow of the Institute. Additionally Maria holds a Diploma in Taxation from Chartered Accountants Ireland (2018).
Since qualifying Maria has accumulated a broad range of experience in the Audit Industry with PwC, International Banking Industry with both Westpac (Australia) and Bank of Ireland and the Irish food industry with The Dublin Cookery School and Fallon and Byrne.
​
Maria loves cooking and in 2013 took a break from accounting for a year to complete a 3 month certificate cookery course. On completion of the course she was offered a position at The Dublin Cookery School which was a great opportunity and gave her exposure to a number of high profile chefs. She was also heavily involved in the school's participation at events such as Taste of Dublin, Bloom and the RDS Craft Fair. What did she learn? That she loves food and cooking but that she loves numbers, excel spreadsheets and VAT returns more!
​
"I was excited to do the course and try out a new career in food as I really enjoy cooking and I'm a big foodie. I learned a lot about the food industry and enjoyed my time there but ultimately I realised that business and enterprise was my passion. I don't regret for a second trying something different." - Maria
​
In 2021 when Maria's youngest child was 2 years old she started wondering about what path her career would take. She had spent a few years giving business and tax advice to private clients and she could see the demand for this increasing. She decide to take the plunge and start McHugh Accounting and Consultancy.
​
" I was excited and terrified to take the first steps to open my own practice. As a mum of 3 young children working for myself gives me great flexibility and allows me to continue on my career path. I'm really looking forward to working with clients and supporting them on their business journey." - Maria
