Paddy Malone is a licensed registered auditor with over thirty-five years of experience in practice. He trained with Arthur Andersen and brings that level of rigour and precision to every set of accounts we prepare. You are not getting a junior or a trainee -- you are getting the principal of the firm.
We prepare annual statutory accounts for filing with the CRO and Revenue, ensuring your company meets all of its legal obligations. Our accounts preparation process is thorough: we review your bookkeeping records, identify any issues, and produce financial statements that give you a clear picture of how your business is performing.
For companies that require a statutory audit, we carry out the full audit engagement in-house. Paddy holds his audit licence with Chartered Accountants Ireland and is authorised to sign off on audit reports. For companies that qualify for audit exemption, we handle the exemption filing and make sure you retain that valuable status.
Many of our clients also benefit from regular management accounts -- quarterly or monthly financial reports that help you track profitability, cash flow, and key business metrics throughout the year. These are not a luxury; they are a tool for making better decisions and avoiding year-end surprises.
We work with businesses across all sectors, from retail and hospitality to construction and professional services. Whatever your industry, we understand the specific accounting requirements that apply and deliver a service that is both technically excellent and practically useful.
Paddy has looked after our accounts for over fifteen years. He is always available when we need him and nothing is ever too much trouble. He genuinely cares about our business doing well.

Most small companies in Ireland qualify for audit exemption if they meet two of three criteria: turnover under 12 million euro, balance sheet under 6 million euro, and fewer than 50 employees. We can tell you whether your company qualifies and handle the exemption filing.
Your accounts must be filed with the CRO within nine months of your financial year end. If you miss this deadline, you lose your audit exemption for two years and face late filing penalties. We track all deadlines and file on time, every time.
