Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle both Revenue and CRO work?
Yes. Where it is in your plan, we keep the accounts, CT1 and B1 cycle connected rather than treating each filing as a separate job.
Can you take over from another Irish accountant?
Yes. We review the latest accounts and tax position, agree the handover and pick up the next cycle. Switching is free.
Do you work with sole traders as well as companies?
Yes. We have separate plans for limited companies, sole traders, contractors and online sellers.
Can you help if part of the business is outside Ireland?
Yes. We coordinate the Irish accounting with overseas advisers and flag where extra registrations or local advice may be needed.
