What Our Clients Say:
'Fighting Blindness has been using WDA for the last number of years and we have found them to be approachable, diligent and easy to deal with. Their turnaround speeds are impressive and their sectoral knowledge more so. I have had several experiences of WDA across the sector, and all have been of a consistently high quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending WDA to any prospective client' Fighting Blindness
"They explain their work and processes to us in simple and accessible language... We always feel we can pick up the phone for advice and assistance, including for non-audit related queries, and that has been greatly appreciated. They are highly responsive, dependable, and professional." — Compiled from Threshold & Migrant Rights Centre Ireland
"The audit process is robust and methodical, and they understand our business and assist us to continuously develop. They have provided advice in the areas of operational effectiveness, financial planning, and board governance." The Temple Bar Company
“We 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. The audited accounts were ready by the middle of March two weeks ahead of the agreed deadline and on budget. We would have no hesitation in recommending WDA to act as your statutory auditor’.
