Maynooth, built around Maynooth University and the historic St Patrick's College, has a young, professional, and entrepreneurial feel. Spin-outs, consultants, and small service businesses are everywhere, and many are taking their first steps into self-employment or incorporation.
That early stage is exactly where good advice pays off most. We help Maynooth start-ups choose the right structure, register correctly, and keep clean books from day one, then file their returns and accounts on a fixed fee as they grow.
- Working with start-ups and spin-outs from Maynooth University
- Supporting professionals and consultants around the town centre and Carton House
- Serving the wider Kilcock and north Kildare professional community
TL;DR
Maynooth's university town energy brings start-ups, professionals, and growing small businesses, all of which we look after on fixed fees. Mostly online, always with direct access to Michael Kennedy, CPA.
Local knowledge
Why local knowledge matters in Maynooth
Maynooth has one of the youngest, most highly educated populations in the county, which shows in its high rate of new business formation and freelancing. First-time founders need plain guidance on sole trader versus company, VAT timing, and what they can claim, all of which we provide from the very first free meeting.
"I started consulting after finishing in Maynooth and had no clue about tax. Kennedy's set me up properly and the first meeting was free."
