FAQ
Accounting questions we get asked
How much does an accountant cost in Ireland?+
It depends on your business type and how much work there is. Our sole trader tax return starts at €395 a year, partnerships at €695 a year, and limited company packages at €199 a month. You get a fixed quote before we start.
Do I need an accountant as a sole trader?+
It isn't a legal requirement, but a Form 11 with trading income, expenses, capital allowances and preliminary tax is easy to get wrong.
Can you take over from my current accountant?+
Yes. We contact your previous accountant for handover, link to your Revenue record as your tax agent, and carry on from your last filed period.
Do you work with businesses outside Wexford?+
Yes. Most clients work with us online from across Ireland. You can also meet us at our Wexford office by appointment.
