One bookkeeper who knows you
Ellen Hartigan started the practice from home in 2009. Now there are four of us in an office in Cork.
You have one bookkeeper who knows your books and who you can simply ring. You know the cost up front, and you hear from us when something comes up.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I keep my receipts?
Six years, as Revenue asks. A clear photo or scan is fine. We keep everything you send us on your file.
Which accounting software do you use?
Whatever you already have. If you don’t have any yet, we’ll pick one together that suits your business.
What does a first chat cost?
Nothing. We take an hour to go through your books and then tell you what we’d do and what it would cost.
Fancy a chat?
Call or email us. We’ll set aside an hour, at our office or at your kitchen table.
