I’m Richie, a Chartered Accountant and the founder of Around Finance. I help Irish business owners understand their numbers and make informed decisions.
I started Around Finance after seeing business owners grow their companies without a clear view of their finances. They were hiring, investing and making important decisions, but their accounts often arrived too late to help.
I wanted to give them more useful support throughout the year. Today, our team brings bookkeeping, management accounts, tax and payroll together, with regular reporting and someone to talk to when a decision needs to be made.
We work with around 100 Irish businesses, including agencies, technology companies, skincare brands, whiskey brands and food producers. They come to us for help understanding how their business is performing, as well as keeping their accounts and tax obligations in order.
We work on fixed monthly fees, so clients know what their agreed support will cost.
Hear what other Irish business owners are saying about us.
“Richie and the team have been incredible at taking our accounting out of the dark ages. Our previous accountant wasn’t the most technically savvy 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.”
