What we see in Waterford
Waterford's food production and engineering businesses are exactly the sort that qualify for the R&D tax credit and rarely claim it — process development and reformulation work routinely meets the technological uncertainty test. The twelve-month claim deadline is the reason most of them miss out.
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 Waterford businesses ask
- Do you have an office in Waterford?
- No. Our office is at Marina House, Clarence Street, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. We serve Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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.
