Overview

What is Accounting & Bookkeeping?

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of every healthy business. Yet for many Irish SMEs, keeping on top of receipts, invoices, VAT returns and bank reconciliations is a constant drain on time that would be better spent serving customers and growing the business.

At Crestlyn Advisory Partners, we take the entire bookkeeping and accounting function off your plate. Our team of qualified accountants maintains your records throughout the year using leading cloud accounting platforms, so your financials are always accurate, up-to-date and accessible from anywhere.

Whether you’re a sole trader just starting out or a growing limited company with a finance team, we tailor our service to match your needs — providing the reports and insights your business actually needs to make informed decisions.

How It Works

Our Accounting & Bookkeeping process

Our accounting & bookkeeping service is designed for:

Free Consultation & Review

We start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, current records and goals. We'll identify any gaps and recommend the right service level for you.

Onboarding & Setup

We set up or migrate your accounting software, connect your bank feeds and establish clear processes for receiving invoices and receipts from your team.

At year-end we prepare your statutory accounts, CT1 or Form 11 return, and handle all Revenue and CRO filings — with no last-minute scrambles.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What accounting software do you use?

We work with all major cloud accounting platforms including Xero, Sage Business Cloud and QuickBooks Online. We’ll recommend the best fit for your business size and sector. If you’re already using a platform, we can work within it or migrate you to a better solution.

How do I get my receipts and invoices to you?

We make it simple. Most clients use the mobile app of their accounting software to photograph receipts on the go. Alternatively, you can forward invoices to a dedicated email address or share a cloud folder. We’ll agree the most convenient method during onboarding.

What's the difference between bookkeeping and year-end accounts?

Bookkeeping is the ongoing recording of day-to-day financial transactions throughout the year. Year-end accounts are the formal financial statements (profit and loss, balance sheet) prepared at the end of your financial year for Revenue, the CRO and your own records. We handle both.

How much does accounting and bookkeeping cost?

Our fees are fixed monthly and depend on transaction volume and the level of service you need. We’ll give you a clear, no-surprise quote after your free initial consultation. Most SME clients find our service costs less than the time they were spending doing it themselves.

Can you handle payroll as well?

Yes — we offer a separate Payroll & HR Compliance service that integrates seamlessly with your bookkeeping. Many clients bundle both for a fully managed finance function.
