Terms of Business
Last updated: 13 November 2026
YearEnd.ie is a trading name of SME Accountants and Tax Consultants Limited. This page summarises how we work and how our fees operate.
What we do
For each financial year covered by your plan, we:
- review the closing trial balance you send us;
- prepare your company's financial statements, including abridged accounts for filing at the CRO where your company qualifies;
- prepare board minutes approving the accounts;
- prepare and file your company's CT1 corporation tax return with Revenue;
- file your company's B1 annual return with the CRO;
- obtain a tax clearance certificate for the company, where it is eligible.
Add-on services, such as directors' Form 11 returns, dividend paperwork and tax planning reviews, are charged separately at the prices shown on our website or quoted to you in advance.
What we don't do
We don't provide bookkeeping. Your company's books must be written up and reconciled, by you or your bookkeeper, before we start.
Your responsibilities
- The directors are legally responsible for the company's accounts and for the accuracy of the information given to us.
- Send us your closing trial balance, together with access to Xero or the supporting records we ask for, at least 3 months before your CT1 deadline. If it reaches us later, our priority turnaround fee may apply, and we cannot guarantee the deadline will be met.
- Approve and sign the accounts and returns promptly when we send them to you.
- Pay any tax due to Revenue directly by its due date.
- Provide the identification documents we need to meet our anti-money laundering obligations.
Fees
- Our fees are fixed and agreed before we start. Your plan is based on your company's turnover. If turnover grows past your plan's limit, your plan moves up to the next band.
- Fees are paid monthly by direct debit, with payments running to your company's financial year end. If you join part-way through the year, that year's fee is spread over the months left before your year end.
- If you pay for the year upfront, you pay for 10 months instead of 12.
- Previous years' accounts are priced as separate years.
- All prices exclude VAT at 23%. CRO filing fees are charged at cost.
- We file your accounts and returns once your account with us is up to date.
- If you leave part-way through the year, you pay for the work done to date.
Switching to us
When you join, we contact your previous accountant for professional clearance and to collect last year's accounts and tax computation. There is no charge for this.
Ending our service
You can end our service by giving us notice in writing. We will confirm any fees due for work done up to that date and pass on what your new accountant needs.
Law
These terms are governed by Irish law, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction.
