Ben Hogan

Founder, Blue Iris Partners

Blue Iris Partners was founded by Ben Hogan, an Irish-qualified accountant with extensive Big Four experience who has worked across Europe and the UAE throughout his career.

Having spent years working on complex financial structures, managing multi-billion-dollar portfolios, and supporting multinational groups across real estate, hospitality, and financial services, Ben founded Blue Iris Partners to bring that same level of expertise to growing businesses. The kind of expertise typically reserved for large corporates and institutional clients.

For European and internationally minded business owners operating in the UAE, Blue Iris Partners offers something distinct: a Western-trained financial partner who understands international reporting standards, communicates with clarity, and also has extensive experience operating in the UAE.

That same discipline and insight is now applied to small and mid-sized businesses across Dubai and internationally.

We have worked closely with boards, investors, auditors, and stakeholders, delivering financial reporting, analysis and decision making support in high-pressure, high-value environments.

We combine CFO strategy with dependable finance operations, from bookkeeping and reporting to tax coordination, audit readiness, and transaction support, giving you one trusted partner overseeing your entire financial function.

The result is simple

Clearer numbers. Better decisions. Stronger, more profitable businesses.
