Not at all. While I'm based in Ireland and specialise in Irish tax compliance and Revenue filings, I work with clients across Europe and the Americas too. For Irish-specific services like Form 11 returns and sole trader registration, you'll need an Irish tax residency - but for services like QuickBooks Consulting, Financial Analysis, Accounts Receivable Efficiency, and Book Cleanup, location is no barrier. All work is carried out remotely, and I operate across multiple time zones to make collaboration as easy as possible.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your situation and how quickly documents are provided, but here's a general guide:

Sole Trader & Tax Registration - typically 3-5 business days once all details are confirmed.

Form 11 Income Tax Return - typically 5-7 business days once all income documents are received.

QuickBooks Consulting - sessions are scheduled at a time that suits you, usually within 1-2 weeks of booking.

Book Cleanup, Financial Analysis & A/R Efficiency - timelines are agreed upfront based on scope. We'll confirm everything on your discovery call.

This depends on the service, but as a general guide:

Tax returns (Form 11) - income statements, expense records, bank statements, and any relevant receipts for the tax year.

Sole Trader Registration - personal details, preferred business name, and your PPS number.

Book Cleanup & Financial Analysis - access to your accounting software or existing financial records, ideally covering the period to be reviewed.

QuickBooks Consulting - access to your QuickBooks account and a brief overview of what you're trying to achieve.

Don't worry if your records aren't perfectly organised - that's exactly what I'm here to help with. We'll go through everything together on the discovery call.

Never. Every engagement starts with a clear, fixed-fee quote that's agreed before any work begins. You'll always know exactly what you're paying and what's included - there are no surprise invoices, no hourly overruns, and no charges for routine follow-up questions during an active engagement. If scope changes significantly, I'll always discuss it with you and agree any revised costs before proceeding.

Your data security is something I take very seriously. All client documents and financial records are handled with strict confidentiality and stored using end-to-end encrypted cloud solutions - including Proton Drive for secure file sharing. I never share your information with third parties without your explicit consent, and all data is handled in accordance with GDPR. If you have specific security requirements or questions about how your data will be stored and transferred, I'm happy to discuss this on your discovery call.

Yes - while many of my clients are sole traders and freelancers, I also work with small limited companies that need financial analysis, bookkeeping support, QuickBooks consulting, and accounts receivable management.

For Limited company-specific requirements that fall outside my current service offering, I will always refer you to a trusted specialist rather than overpromise - your business deserves the right expertise for every need.

The free 30-minute discovery call is the best place to start - I'll give you an honest assessment of how I can help and what the next steps look like.

Packages are one-off engagements at a fixed price - you know exactly what's included and what it costs.

Retainers are ongoing monthly support: your tax return, bookkeeping oversight and advice are all covered continuously, so nothing is ever left until the last minute.

Yes - upgrade any time with immediate effect, or downgrade at your next monthly renewal. Many clients start on Essentials and move up as the business grows.

Yes. A standard sole trader Form 11 return is fully included. If your return involves rental income, foreign income or capital gains events, we'll recommend the Growth tier - and we'll tell you up front, not at filing time.

Most of my clients don’t have one - and don’t need one. QuickBooks with bank feeds does the heavy lifting, my setup session teaches you the fifteen-minutes-a-week habit, and my reviews catch anything that drifts.

If you already have a bookkeeper, keep them: they handle the day-to-day entries, while my retainers sit on top as the review, reconciliation, filing and advisory layer - the work an accountancy firm would otherwise charge you for separately. Either way, you’re not paying twice for the same job.

Your Form 11 for the current tax year is included once you've completed your 3-month minimum term before the filing deadline. Join early in the year and everything's comfortably covered.

The Launchpad's Form 11 component covers your first filing deadline, whenever it falls - even if that's over a year after registration. All other packages are delivered as a single continuous engagement.
