Deloitte is to create 300 new jobs in Cork over the next three years, doubling its presence in the city.
The financial services firm has said there will be opportunities in all areas including audit, tax, legal, consulting and financial advisory.
The new roles will range from experienced senior hires to graduate roles.
The majority of these will be through the establishment of a Cork-based Technology and Analytics hub.
Harry Goddard, CEO of Deloitte Ireland, said this is down to strong demand.
"A common thread in this growth has been the ever expanding need for digital, technology and analytics consulting experience," he said.
"Not only are we recruiting to meet this demand, we also believe it is an opportune time to further our commitment to building our existing presence in Cork.
"Our clients in the Munster region develop, manufacture, and sell their products and services throughout the world, and Deloitte’s investment here is a logical step for our business to support those clients in that journey.
"We now have 12 partners based in Cork, working locally, nationally and internationally," he added.
Enterprise Minister Simon Coveney welcomed the jobs announcement.
"The news of 300 additional high-skilled jobs today is a real boost and vote of confidence in Cork, our economy and Ireland's future," he said.
"These are quality jobs across all of Deloitte's businesses, but particularly the establishment of the Technology & Analytics hub is a fantastic endorsement of Cork," he added.
Deloitte Ireland employs more than 3,200 people.
