Accounting services for Galway businesses
Full-service accounting delivered online. No office visit required. Every service available to Galway-based businesses at a fixed monthly fee.
What we see in Galway
Galway's med-tech and software cluster produces a steady stream of companies with genuine R&D activity that never claim the tax credit they are entitled to. Tourism and hospitality businesses along the west coast face a different set of issues — seasonal payroll, the 9% VAT rate on food and drink from 1 July 2026, and cash flow that has to carry the winter.
Whatever your sector, the engagement works the same way: a fixed monthly fee agreed in advance, a named chartered accountant assigned at onboarding, and every enquiry answered within four business hours.

Questions Galway businesses ask
- Do you have an office in Galway?
- No. Our office is at Marina House, Clarence Street, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. We serve Galway businesses entirely online — secure document portal, cloud accounting and video calls — which is what keeps the fee fixed and lower than a local high-street practice.
- How much does an accountant cost for a Galway business?
- We quote a fixed monthly fee based on your structure, turnover and which services you need. Every proposal is a fixed fee sent within 48 hours, so you know the cost before you commit and there are no hourly surprises.
- Can I switch to you from my current Galway accountant?
- Yes, and it is routine. We write to your existing accountant for professional clearance and the handover records, and we handle the transfer. The best time to move is shortly after a year end, but it can be done at any point.
- Are you chartered accountants?
- Yes. Finlay Mulligan & Co. are Chartered Accountants, regulated by Chartered Accountants Ireland. We are not a bookkeeping agency, and the person on your account is a qualified accountant.
