CPA Ireland Your annual accounts are the formal picture of how your business performed over the year. For a sole trader they drive your tax return. For a limited company they are a legal requirement filed publicly with the Companies Registration Office.
We prepare them properly, to the right standard, whether you are a sole trader, partnership, or limited company. They are reviewed and signed by a CPA-registered practitioner, so they carry weight with banks, Revenue, and the CRO.
TL;DR
We prepare your year-end accounts from whatever records you have, review and sign them as a CPA practice, and file with the CRO where required. Sole trader accounts start at €250 and limited company accounts from €600.

Annual Accounts: your questions answered
Do sole traders need to prepare annual accounts?
Sole traders are not legally required to file accounts with the CRO, but you still need a proper set to support your income tax return and to satisfy a bank or lender. We prepare sole trader accounts from €250 and use them to file your return.
When must a limited company file accounts with the CRO?
An Irish company files its first annual return six months after incorporation, then every year on its Annual Return Date, with financial statements attached after the first year. Miss the date and you face late filing fees and loss of audit exemption. We track the dates for you.
What is the difference between FRS 105 and FRS 102?
FRS 105 is the simpler standard for micro companies, with shorter accounts and fewer disclosures. FRS 102 applies to small and medium companies and gives a fuller picture. We apply whichever your company qualifies for, which keeps your accounts compliant and your costs down.
How much do limited company accounts cost?
Full limited company accounts start at €600, and our corporation tax package combines the accounts and CT1 from €450. The fixed fee depends on company size and transaction volume, and we quote it in full before starting.
Can you prepare accounts from a box of receipts?
Yes, though it costs less if your bookkeeping is current. If you arrive with a box, we will sort it, build the accounts, and then usually suggest a simple monthly bookkeeping setup so next year is cheaper and calmer.
