Contractors Accountant Limerick

Specialist Financial Support for Builders, Plumbers, Electricians & Tradespeople in Limerick

Hassle-Free Contractor Accounting

Accountant Limerick is the leading Accountant for contractors in Limerick and the surrounding areas. We speak the language of Irish construction and trades. If you’re a self-employed plumber in Castletroy, an electrician working across Raheen Industrial Estate, or a builder bidding on projects at Shannon Foynes Port, generic accounting won’t cut it. Focus on what you do - leave the books, tax, and compliance to us.

Here Are Ways We Can Help You

Tax Optimisation

Vehicle expenses, tool purchases, safety gear, training courses - we make sure you claim legitimate deductions. We also help you time equipment purchases and structure your business to minimize tax liability while staying compliant.

Simplified Record Keeping

Our systems work with contractors' operations. Easy expense tracking, automated processes, and clear monthly reports give you financial information without creating extra work.

Cash Flow Management

We track which job types generate the best margins and monitor outstanding invoices. Our reports show where money comes from and where it goes, helping you make informed decisions about equipment purchases or business expansion.

Business Growth Support

Whether you're considering hiring employees, buying new equipment, or expanding services, we provide financial analysis to support smart growth decisions.

VAT Registration

We handle VAT registration when you reach the threshold and manage quarterly returns. From understanding construction industry VAT rates to reclaiming VAT on materials and equipment, we ensure you're compliant while maximizing your VAT position.

Subcontractor Management

We help you navigate RCT (Relevant Contracts Tax) requirements, handle subcontractor payments correctly, and maintain proper documentation. Our systems track payment summaries and ensure you meet your obligations as a principal contractor.

  • Questions Contractors Ask Us

    Should I handle my own accounting?

    Many contractors start by doing their books. However, specialised knowledge of construction industry deductions often results in tax savings that exceed accounting fees. Professional service also frees up time for business development and project management.

    What are your fees?

    We provide fixed monthly pricing based on your business complexity. During your consultation, you'll receive a clear quote with no hidden costs. Most contractors find that the tax savings and improved organisation provide good value.

    What records do I need to keep?

    We'll establish a straightforward system for tracking income and expenses. You'll need invoices, receipts, vehicle logs, and bank statements. We provide templates and show you efficient organisation methods.

    What happens if Revenue has questions?

    We handle all Revenue communications on your behalf. Our documentation practices minimize issues, but when questions arise, we manage the process while keeping you informed throughout.

    Do you work with new contractors?

    We help new contractors establish proper financial systems from the start. Good foundations prevent problems and save time compared to correcting issues later. We offer packages designed for contractors starting their Limerick businesses.
