FAQs

Everything you need to know before getting started

Why should I hire you?

Most accountants look at your numbers once a year, often up to nine months after your year end. By then, the decisions that shaped your year have already been made.

We work the other way round. Your books are kept up to date every month, so you always know where you stand: what’s coming in, what’s going out, and what’s left. You can spot a cash squeeze before it happens, see which products or clients actually make you money, and make decisions on current numbers rather than guesswork.

Think of us as your active finance partner, without the cost of a full-time hire. Compliance is covered, including VAT, payroll and year-end through our partner accounting firm, but that’s the starting point, not the goal. The goal is a business that’s more profitable and easier to run.

  • Monthly numbers you can use. Your books are reconciled every month, with management accounts showing how the business is really performing, not just what the bank balance says.
  • Cashflow you can see coming. We forecast what’s due in and out over the coming weeks and months, so there are no surprises at VAT time or when a big bill lands.
  • Lower costs. We review your suppliers, subscriptions and licences, flag anything you’re paying for but not using, and find better rates at renewal.
  • Bills paid on time. Keeping purchase invoices up to date means fewer late payment charges and no suspended services. We also make sure suppliers send invoices to us, not your inbox.
  • Money owed to you, collected. We chase overdue invoices on your behalf, so you don’t have to make those awkward calls.
  • Profit by product or service. We look at what actually makes you money, and review your pricing and payment terms where they’re holding you back.
  • Hiring decisions backed by numbers. Before you take someone on, we model what the role needs to bring in to pay for itself.
  • Commission that works for both sides. We design and run sales commission plans that motivate your team without leaving the business out of pocket.

A Fellow Chartered Management Accountant (FCMA) with 20 years of finance experience across Ireland and the UK. You’ll have one point of contact who knows your business.

Yes. We hold a CIMA practising certificate, are supervised for anti-money laundering, and carry professional indemnity insurance.

Every business is different, so your fee is built around your transaction volumes and the support you need. As a guide:

Foundations, from €395 a month
The books are right and Revenue is happy.
Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliation, receipt capture, your Xero subscription, and VAT returns if you’re VAT registered. Includes a free cashflow check-in when you join. Quarterly management accounts and payroll can be added.

Managed, from €795 a month
The numbers tell you something.
Everything in Foundations, plus payroll, monthly management accounts within seven working days of month end, and a quarterly cashflow check-in.

Fractional CFO, from €1,750 a month
A finance lead in the room.
Everything in Managed, plus a monthly review meeting, a monthly cashflow and profit plan, annual budgeting, and pricing and margin reviews. You also get a monthly CFO check-in, and you can call us before any big decision.

Your first three months: the fee is 25% higher while we set up and get to know your business, then it steps down to your standing monthly rate. There are no separate set-up or onboarding fees.

Year-end: your annual accounts, corporation tax return, director returns and CRO filings are a separate engagement with our partner accounting firm, quoted upfront.

On our first call, we’ll go through a live pricing tool together, so you can see exactly what everything costs.

Each quote is unique to the business, but our services include bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, director self-assessments, financial statements, corporation tax returns, P&L forecasts, annual budgets, cashflow forecasts and management accounts. We go through a live pricing tool together so you can see exactly how much everything costs and you can add or remove services as you like

Payment is taken at the start of every month by direct debit. This facilitates smooth cashflow with predictable monthly amounts, no huge bills to worry about, and fully automated payments that save you time.

We work in Xero, and the subscription is included in your monthly fee. If you’re not on Xero yet, we’ll set you up. If you’re tied into another system, we can work with that instead.

You can start small by handing over the bookkeeping & payroll to us. Our intention is to support your business’ growth; you can choose to add on services once we have demonstrated our support and input into your business performance. You can add or remove services along your business journey.

We’ll help you respond to any Revenue queries, working with our partner firm where needed.

We prepare and file your VAT returns and payroll submissions. Your annual accounts, corporation tax return and the filing of the abridged financial statements and Annual Return (B1) with the CRO are handled by our partner accounting firm, with full oversight from us. We track every deadline so nothing is filed late.

Accounts Conquered will ensure the company’s annual return and abridged financial statements are submitted on time in accordance with Companies Act 2014.

It’s very straightforward to switch. After you sign up and have let your previous accountant know (we can provide a free email template to help), we will contact them to obtain copies of your historic records and we can take it from there.

There’s a three-month initial term, then the agreement rolls monthly with 60 days’ notice on either side

Don’t worry, that’s common. If your books are behind, we’ll quote a one-off catch-up fee upfront, based on how many months need bringing up to date. Then we keep them current.

You’ll get a 30/60/90-day plan when you join, including a free cashflow check-in. For the first six months we meet monthly, then switch to a short monthly update, with calls whenever you need them.

Of course. We can easily flex the services to support your business as it evolves.

To get started smoothly, we’ll need specific information from you to ensure compliance, accurate setup in Xero, and efficient service delivery.
