Your whole finance team. One fixed fee.

A small Irish team that combines a background in finance and investment operations with an accountant who leads all compliance, filings and annual accounts. We work with Irish tradesmen only, so we know the 13.5% VAT rate on construction services, how RCT works for principal contractors, and the deadlines you face every month. We built TradesmanBooks because tradesmen deserve more than an accountant they hear from once a year: a team working on their business every month, keeping the books clean, the filings done and the numbers clear.

No. We replace your accountant entirely. Our accountant-led team handles everything: VAT, RCT, income tax returns, corporation tax, CRO filings, and statutory accounts. For many businesses, one fixed fee costs less than an accountant, bookkeeper and payroll provider combined.

Yes. If you are a sole trader with no employees and no subcontractors, it is €450 a month. That covers your monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns via ROS, your annual Form 11 income tax return and your monthly report, with a call every quarter. If you have staff or use subcontractors, payroll and RCT are included at €750 a month.

Yes. Limited company clients get everything sole traders get, plus director payroll, corporation tax return (CT1), CRO Annual Return, statutory financial statements, and director personal Form 11. All included in the monthly fee. No year-end surprise bill.

Yes. It is very common among tradesmen. We start with a Books Catch-Up, getting everything current and compliant, usually within 10 working days of receiving your records. There is a one-time fee depending on how far behind you are, then the monthly service begins from a clean starting point.

Very little. Photograph receipts and send them on WhatsApp as you go. We might send you a short message once a month with two or three questions about specific transactions. Our aim is for your side to take less than 15 minutes a month. The rest is ours.

If your first monthly report is not with you by the 10th of the month after your onboarding, or you are not happy with it, you pay nothing for that month. Just tell us within 7 days of receiving it. If you decide to leave, you can go without the usual 30 days' notice. The guarantee covers your first month's fee only, not catch-up or Profit Review fees, and applies once per client.

No. Cancel with 30 days notice at any time. When clients leave, we hand over their complete records, fully reconciled and fully exported, so whoever comes next has everything they need. We do not make leaving difficult.

Not immediately. You can keep your existing accountant while you get comfortable with us, and we handle the handover when you are ready. We cover the work a small business accountant does, plus the monthly reporting most never provide.

Revenue correspondence is managed directly by our team. If you are selected for a Revenue audit or review, our accountant supports you through it as part of your monthly fee, within the scope set out in your engagement letter. As the taxpayer, you remain legally responsible for your own tax affairs, but you will not face Revenue alone.

Fast. Book a call today and sign up this week. Our aim is to have your Xero configured and onboarding completed within 48 hours of receiving payment and your documents. If your books are up to date, your first monthly report could be with you inside two weeks.
