Meet John and Bernadette Murphy*, a dynamic power couple originally from Dublin, Ireland. In 2003, they moved to San Francisco, CA with a dream of opening “Murphy’s Irish Pub”. Fast forward twenty years, and their hard work has paid off – they now own 15 thriving Irish pubs and restaurants throughout the country. Two years ago, their family expanded with the arrival of twin boys, Connor and Rory. With the boys growing up fast, John and Bernadette wanted to spend a summer back in Ireland. But with Bernadette juggling a busy career and two little ones, planning the trip felt like an impossible task.
Enter Atlas
Longtime clients of Origin CPA Group, the Murphys, were in for a pleasant surprise during a review meeting. Bernadette casually mentioned her dream of spending the summer in Ireland, if only she could find the time to organize everything.
“My CPA asked if I’d like help organizing the trip,” Bernadette recalled. “I told him I’d love some help, but it was impossible for anyone else to handle it. Thankfully, I was proven wrong!”
The Atlas team swooped in, ready to make Bernadette’s dream a reality. They assured her that they had managed this for other clients and sprang into action. They applied for expedited passports for Connor and Rory, researched the best options for flying first class versus private charter, booked their flights, arranged the extended car hire complete with pre-installed car seats, and even prepped their Dublin home for their arrival with a stocked fridge and toddler essentials. To top it all off, they organized ongoing cleaning services and food delivery for the duration of their stay.
“I was blown away by the Atlas team – they removed every complication from our trip,” Bernadette shared. “They also managed our San Francisco home while we were away and stepped in to handle a few pesky issues at the pubs.”
The Result
The Murphy family enjoyed a fabulous summer in Ireland, thanks to the seamless support from Atlas. The team didn’t just plan their trip; they continue to assist with Murphy’s family and business needs, acting as their personal assistants and quarterback for their team of professionals. The trip was so wonderful that the Murphys have decided to make summers in Ireland a tradition, crediting Atlas for making it all possible.
