Turning your raw financial data into accurate, statutory-compliant year-end accounts is essential for stakeholders, tax filings, and company growth. At TAS Consulting, we deliver thorough bookkeeping clean-ups, precise financial statements, and seamless CRO reporting across Dublin.
Why Professional Year-End Accounts Matter for Your Business

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to provide for year-end accounts preparation?
Typically, you will need your year-end bank statements, sales and purchase invoices, payroll summaries, loan statements, inventory counts, and previous year's accountants' reports or tax returns.
Is an audit required for all limited companies in Ireland?
No. Many small and medium-sized private companies in Ireland qualify for audit exemption, provided they meet specific thresholds regarding turnover, balance sheet totals, and timely annual return filings with the CRO.
How long does it take TAS Consulting to prepare year-end accounts?
The timeline depends on the quality and completeness of your underlying bookkeeping records. Once all records are handed over and reconciled, preparation typically takes between 1 to 3 weeks.
How do year-end accounts connect with my corporate tax return?
Year-end accounts form the numerical foundation of your corporation tax return (Form CT1). Net profits from the financial statements are adjusted for disallowable expenses and capital allowances to calculate final taxable income.
