Who Is This For?

Has a customer invoice become uncollectible? Our VAT bad-debt review checklist separates overdue balances, genuine write-offs, credit notes and later receipts. Ask whether evidence review, reconciliation and any return adjustment can be provided, then agree the scope and total payable; debt recovery and litigation are separate.

Considering rent from your company for a room at home? Our home-office rent decision guide separates a genuine letting, remote-working expenses, personal tax and property checks. Ask whether both the company and director review can be provided, then agree the scope and total payable; legal drafting and valuation are separate questions.

Considering an employer pension payment for a director? Our director pension contribution checklist separates PRSA limits, remuneration, payroll and company deductions. Ask whether the accounting review can be provided and agree scope and total payable; pension-product and investment advice are separate regulated services.

Keeping the books yourself? Our guide to preparing your own Irish company accounts separates bookkeeping, year-end statements, audit and tax work so you can describe the support you need and confirm the accepted scope and total payable.

Annual-return deadline approaching with accounts still unfinished? Our accounts-not-ready handover guide separates records recovery, accounts preparation, approval and CRO filing. Describe the period, deadline and missing work, then confirm capacity, scope and total payable before relying on support.

Going paperless? Our company invoice scanning and original-retention guide separates digital capture, paper VAT invoices and historic software access. Confirm whether the records review or bookkeeping setup you need is included in the proposed accounting engagement before discarding originals.

Appointing a tax agent? Our ROS agent-link approval checklist covers company tax-head requests, missing notifications and secure onboarding. Agree which adviser and work are included, then confirm authorised access separately from return completion.

ROS showing an annual VAT RTD? Our Return of Trading Details preparation checklist separates net trading figures, periodic VAT returns and CRO filings. Describe the period, records and any overdue or correction work, then confirm whether RTD review and filing can be provided and agree the scope and total payable.

Are your own returns covered as well as the company accounts? Our director's personal Form 11 guide separates personal Income Tax, payroll, CT1 and B1. Confirm the relevant tax years, personal registration and submission responsibilities explicitly when requesting support.

Unsure whether Revenue needs tagged accounts? Our iXBRL checklist for small Irish companies distinguishes the Revenue reporting route from CRO accounts and audit exemption. Confirm assessment, tagging, submission and correction work explicitly in your accounting quote.

Taking online payments? Our Stripe and PayPal bookkeeping guide for Irish companies explains sales, fees, refunds, closing balances and bank payouts. Describe your payment channels and transaction volume when requesting a reconciliation quote.

First-year accounts showing a loss? Our Irish company loss and tax filing checklist separates the accounting result, available tax relief and director funding. Confirm whether a loss review, claim preparation or any historic work is included in your accounting quote.

Receiving sterling or dollars? Our Irish company GBP and USD accounting checklist separates invoice, bank, functional and presentation currencies, with a worked settlement example. Describe your currency balances, platforms and transaction volume when requesting an accounting quote.

Found an error in accounts already filed? Our CRO revised accounts and B1X guide explains the separate revision, approval and reporting questions. Ask whether a review can be provided and agree its scope before ordering routine filing support.

Waiting for customers to pay? Our cash-receipts VAT accounting guide explains eligibility, Revenue approval, excluded transactions and opening-debtor checks. Confirm any application or transition support separately in your accounting quote.

Considering a different accounts date? Our financial year-end and Form B83 guide explains the eligibility checks and separate CRO and tax calendars to discuss. Confirm whether B83 assistance can be provided and is included in your accounting quote.

Spending before your company starts trading? Use our pre-trading expense review checklist to separate running costs, equipment and founder-paid purchases before your first accounting handover.

Unsure what becomes public? Read our abridged accounts and turnover disclosure guide to distinguish statutory accounts, the CRO filing copy and Revenue requirements before requesting a quote.
