What does a tax advisor do?

Our role as tax advisors goes well beyond filing returns and meeting tax compliance deadlines. We work closely with business owners, finance teams and boards to understand the wider commercial picture, identify and manage tax risk, and ensure tax considerations form part of important business decisions. From day-to-day tax matters to more complex transactions, our focus is on providing clear, practical tax advice that helps businesses make informed decisions with confidence.

Effective tax planning is also about looking ahead. Whether a business is growing, restructuring, investing, preparing for a transaction or planning for succession, we help clients understand the tax implications and structure their affairs appropriately. By considering business tax and personal tax requirements early, we can identify opportunities, anticipate potential issues and develop tax strategies that support both immediate priorities and longer-term commercial objectives.

How our tax consultants can help

Our tax team advises on everything from routine compliance to complex, one-off decisions, for companies, directors and families.

Corporate tax planning and compliance

Corporation tax rules change with every Budget. We stay ahead of changes so the business and its owners keep more of what they earn. We prepare and file your returns on time, review your structure and plan profit extraction in advance. Read our guide to optimising your corporation tax position before year-end.

International tax

Expanding abroad or trading across borders? We help you understand the Irish and overseas tax impact before you commit, and structure your operations so they stay efficient and compliant in every country you work in.

Tax on buying or selling a business

Tax can shape the value of any deal. We advise on the most tax-efficient structure for acquisitions, disposals and restructures, working with our business acquisitions and disposals team from first offer to completion.

VAT advice and compliance

Our VAT specialists keep you compliant and manage your risk, from registration right through to returns. Whether your concerns are property related, cross-border or are sector-specific, we are ready to advise you through it. For a recent example, see what the 9% VAT rate means for your business.

Revenue audit and intervention support

A letter from Revenue can be stressful. We offer support by acting as your tax agent. We prepare your records and deal and negotiate with Revenue on your behalf so any audit or intervention is as painless and cost-effective as possible.

Investment reliefs and incentives

Raising capital or investing in innovation? We help founders and investors navigate the Employment Investment Incentive (EII), Start-Up Capital Incentive (SCI), and Start-Up Relief for Entrepreneurs (SURE) programs, as well as review R&D tax credit claims so they stand up.

Tax training for your team

We offer customised tax training sessions for finance teams and boards, addressing key topics relevant to your business, including benefit-in-kind, payroll taxes, VAT, and year-end planning.

Personal tax and capital gains tax

From self-assessment returns for directors, landlords and investors to capital gains on shares or property, we make sure you meet every deadline and claim every relief you are entitled to, without last-minute stress.

Estate, succession and inheritance tax planning

Passing on a business, farm or family home takes planning. We map out succession early, using the available reliefs to help reduce the capital acquisitions tax bill for the next generation. See our guide to inheritance tax thresholds in Ireland.

Tax advice for your sector

We know the tax issues that come up again and again in the sectors we serve, so you don’t pay for us to learn them.

Pharmacy

Pharmacy is where we built our name. We advise owners on the tax side of buying, selling and passing on a pharmacy, staffing and locum costs, and extracting profit efficiently. Explore our pharmacy expertise or read our guide to tax considerations when engaging locum pharmacists.

Established SMEs

For owner-managed and family businesses, good tax planning is part of running the business well. We help with corporation tax, director remuneration, VAT and succession, so you can plan the years ahead with confidence. See how we support established SMEs.

 

Scaling companies

Fast growth brings new tax questions: investor reliefs, R&D tax credits and expansion abroad. We help founders get the structure right early, often alongside our outsourced CFO service. See how we support scaling companies.

You will work with the same experienced people from your first call onwards. Our tax team combines technical depth with practical, commercial advice.

How working with our tax advisors works

Four clear steps, with no surprises on scope or cost.

1. Start with a conversation

Tell us what is happening in your business or family and what you want to achieve. We listen, ask the right questions and tell you honestly how we can help.

2. We review your position

We look at your accounts, returns and structure to see where you stand today, including any risks, deadlines or reliefs you may be missing.

3. You get a clear plan

We set out our advice in plain English: the options, the likely tax impact and the next steps, with an agreed scope and fee before work begins.

4. We stay with you

We handle the filings, deal with Revenue and check in as things change, so your tax position keeps pace with your plans.

Results for our clients

Every client’s situation is different, but the goal is the same: better decisions, fewer surprises and no more tax than necessary. A few recent examples:

  • Rapidly growing fintech: Dimply wanted to ensure full compliance with tax and regulatory obligations. We helped them provide accurate and timely VAT calculations and submissions and preparation of the statutory accounts in line with reporting frameworks, including corporation tax. This helped them improve their financial efficiency and accuracy while having confidence in their compliance.
  • Publicly listed environmental services group: keeping year-end compliance and governance consistent across several entities, so we provide year-end compliance, corporate governance and strategic tax planning across the group, giving a fast-growing business the structure and accuracy it needs.
  • Owner of a long-established pharmacy: preparing to sell and wanting to maximise value while keeping tax on the sale to a minimum, so we valued the goodwill, structured the sale for tax efficiency and managed negotiations through due diligence to completion, which secured a strong sale price and a smooth, low-stress sale.
