What our clients say
We engaged Whelan Dowling & Associates (WDA) for the provision of statutory audit services for the financial year ended 31st December 2024, as well as for assistance in the preparation of our financial statements. This was our first time working with WDA, and we are very impressed with the quality of service we received. Jason Dowling FCA acted as our account manager and provided excellent service and sound professional advice throughout the audit process. His responsiveness, clear communication, and understanding of our sector were particularly valued. WDA ensured we met all of our statutory deadlines and they remained within budget, while being readily accessible to both our Trustees and management team throughout the engagement. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending WDA to other not-for-profit organisations seeking a reliable and professional audit partner.
Donegal Youth Services CLG.Whelan Dowling and Associates (WDA) has been working with and providing external audit services for Threshold, the national housing charity, since 2019. During that time, as CEO, I have found the services and supports provided by WDA to be highly responsive to the needs of Threshold, dependable and professional. They explain their work and processes to us in simple and accessible language; they carry out all necessary tasks with willingness and enthusiasm and are very flexible in providing additional services when required by Threshold. We would be very happy and willing to recommend the services of WDA to any prospective clients
ThresholdSouth Leinster Citizens Information Service appointed WDA as the company auditors commencing in January 2026. The first audit after making such a change is always the trickiest but in this instance the process was straightforward and stress free. WDA set out an audit plan, met with me to explain the plan, and followed it exactly. I was able to give them remote access to my financial management system and submit documents via a secure shared drive. No site visited needed! The audited accounts were ready by the middle of March two weeks ahead of the agreed deadline. WDA also met with me to informally review the accounts before formal presentation to the board. I am very happy with the outcome.
