A Killarney-based software company is celebrating two years in business since expanding into the European market.

QT9 Software Ltd, which is located on Bohereencaol was established in 2024 as part of the company’s move to better serve customers across Europe.

The business is part of a US-based company founded 20 years ago in Chicago by Brant Engelhart.

Its Irish office is headed by Killarney resident Angela O’Sullivan, who serves as Operations Director.

QT9 Software currently employs four full-time staff members in Killarney and plans to increase that number by an additional two this year.

The company provides quality management software to businesses worldwide, with the Irish office helping to support European customers within their own time zones.

As part of its continued European expansion, the software company also opened a new data center in Amsterdam in 2025 to meet data storage and compliance requirements.

QT9 Software works with businesses that must meet quality standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, as well as industry-specific regulations across sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, food and life sciences.

Speaking about the milestone, Angela O’Sullivan said: “We’re very proud to have grown QT9 Software here in Killarney over the past two years. It has been a really positive journey so far, and we’re looking forward to continuing to build our team and support more customers across Europe.”

The company is also currently recruiting for an IT Systems Administrator, with details available in the appointments section on page 46.

The vastly experienced Liam Hession, a partner with BDO – one of the world’s leading accountancy and advisory firms – will be the high-profile guest speaker at a Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce lunch to be held in the Panoramic Room at Killarney Racecourse on Wednesday next, April 15.

BDO works extensively with large hotel groups, tourism operators and hospitality businesses across Ireland, providing strategic financial management, audit, tax and advisory services.

The company’s deep involvement in the hospitality sector gives it a very unique perspective on market trends, operational challenges, sustainability planning and long-term investment strategy.

Liam is a managing partner with BDO, based in Limerick, with specific responsibility for the leisure, tourism and hospitality sector.

He has over 20 years of experience in the provision of audit and advisory services and has advised clients on various aspects of their businesses, from disposals and acquisitions, business valuations, dispute resolutions and succession issues.

The Killarney Racecourse Chamber lunch fee is just €15 and new members will be more than welcome on the day.
