Why Other Founders Like You, Choose Us
See why others choose us as their online accountant.
“Richie and the team have been incredible at taking our accounting out of the dark ages. Our previous accountant wasn’t the most technically savy person which meant our accounting & finance was slowing down our business doing tedious and monotonous tasks. Around Finance have automated and streamlined everything for us saving huge amounts of time and headaches. They have also saved us a lot of money through great advice. Would highly recommend.”
Paul Walsh
Founder | Adhere Digital
“Richie and his team are incredible. Always helpful and easy to contact especially if I ever have any questions. They make accounting and paper work very easy for business owners and make it so simple for anyone who may find it difficult to grasp. They have guided me in the best way possible and now I don’t need to worry about my accounts with having Richie & his team on board.”
Keara Lennon
Founder | Face. Brow Bar
“We certainly wouldn’t be where we are today without the online accounting and financial advice that we get from Around Finance! Richie has helped us simplify our ecommerce accounting and gives us meaningful insights into our financials that enable us to make the right decisions to keep growing.”

FAQs
What exactly does an online accountant do for Irish businesses?
An online accountant in Ireland provides all the essential accounting services you’d expect from a traditional firm – bookkeeping, tax returns, VAT filing, payroll, and year-end accounts – but delivered digitally with modern cloud-based tools like Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. Beyond compliance, online accountants like Around Finance offer real-time financial reporting, cashflow forecasting, business advisory, and strategic planning to help you make informed decisions. Everything is managed through secure portals, video calls, and collaborative platforms, giving you faster turnaround times and greater flexibility. Need help setting up? Book a free consult.
How much does an online accountant cost in Ireland?
The cost of an online accountant in Ireland varies depending on the complexity of your business, the services you need, and your turnover. At Around Finance, we work on fixed monthly fees rather than hourly rates, so you always know what you’re paying. Typical packages for small businesses start from around €300-€500 per month for bookkeeping and management accounts, with additional services like tax planning, payroll, and advisory work tailored to your needs. We offer free onboarding for new clients, which means we’ll set up your Xero account and processes at no extra charge. See our plans or request a custom quote.
Is an online accountant suitable for startups and small businesses in Ireland?
Absolutely. Online accountants are often the ideal choice for startups and small businesses in Ireland because they offer flexibility, affordability, and access to modern technology without the overhead of a traditional firm. At Around Finance, we specialise in working with e-commerce brands, marketing agencies, and SaaS companies – businesses that need more than just compliance. We understand the challenges of scaling, managing cashflow, and navigating grants and funding options. Our team provides monthly management accounts as standard, so you’re always on top of your numbers. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, accounting for startups and small businesses is what we do best.
Do I need a physical office to work with an Irish accountant?
No, you don’t need a physical office to work with an online accountant in Ireland. Around Finance operates entirely in the cloud, which means we can support clients anywhere in Ireland – and even internationally. You simply upload documents to our secure portal, communicate with us via email, video calls, or phone, and access your financial dashboards online anytime. This setup is perfect for remote teams, digital businesses, and founders who value flexibility. Whether you’re based in Galway, Dublin, Cork, or working from a laptop abroad, we’ve got you covered.
Why choose Around Finance over a traditional Irish accounting firm?
Traditional accounting firms often focus on annual compliance – year-end accounts and tax returns – with little proactive support in between. Around Finance is different. We’re a modern, tech-forward firm that provides real-time financial data, monthly management accounts, and hands-on advisory services to help you grow. We specialise in niches like e-commerce, marketing agencies, and SaaS companies, so we understand the complexities of your business model – from multi-channel sales to subscription revenue. We use tools like Xero, SYFT Analytics, and Store Hero to deliver fast, accurate insights. Plus, we offer fixed fees, free onboarding, and a customer service approach that puts you first.
