“Kinore has allowed a space in our finance manager’s role to provide the higher value add, the strategic commercial advice that we need.”
You already know what’s required for your annual accounts. The question is whether your accountant is delivering it the way you deserve.
At Kinore, we combine an experienced accounting team, ISO 9001 certified processes, and a dedicated three-person team structure on every engagement to ensure your annual accounts and CT returns are filed accurately, on time, and with zero stress. Thinking about switching accountants? We handle the entire transition smoothly so you don’t miss a beat.
Choosing the right accountant isn’t just about compliance. It’s about finding a team you trust to understand your business, challenge you when it matters, and support you when things get complicated. That’s what Kinore is.
We take the time to get to know every client. Your goals, your pressures, your plans for growth. Whether you’re an established business looking for a fresh approach after changing accountants or a startup navigating your first annual return, we become the partner you can actually talk to. Not just at year-end, but whenever you need us. Our team of Chartered and Certified accountants brings depth and expertise across annual accounts, corporation tax returns, and the wider tax landscape, so you always have someone in your corner who genuinely understands your business.
What makes us different? Every engagement is built around a structured delivery model: one qualified accountant prepares your accounts, a senior team member reviews them, and a dedicated account manager owns the relationship and delivery timeline. This three-layer approach, backed by our ISO 9001 quality certification, is why 98% of our client accounts are filed early. Not just on time. Early.
Preparation and filing of annual accounts and CT returns, including your Form CT1
Annual financial statements prepared in line with the Companies Act 2014
Corporation tax submissions and preliminary tax calculations via the Revenue Online Service
Additional services available: bookkeeping, payroll management, management accounts, cashflow reporting, tax advisory, company secretarial, and strategic financial planning
Our systems and processes are designed for early delivery, not last-minute scrambles. We proactively reach out for your records and raise queries well in advance, with the aim of always delivering your accounts ahead of schedule. Every filing deadline is tracked from your annual return date to the date your corporation tax return is due, so nothing slips through the cracks. Whether it’s your first annual return or your twentieth, our team stays on top of every submission so you never have to chase.
Getting your accounts filed is the baseline. What really matters is what we find along the way. Our qualified accountants review your company accounts with a focus on adding value: identifying tax efficiencies, flagging areas of concern before they become costly, and highlighting opportunities you might otherwise miss. We calculate how much you need to pay corporation tax and ensure you pay preliminary tax on time, but we also make recommendations that help your business keep more of what it earns.
Whether you’re an established business that needs a new provider or a startup that needs to be supported every step of the way, we’re built to meet you where you are. Our dedicated teams include payroll specialists, VAT experts, and management accountants who can support you with everything from intricate VAT compliance through to cashflow planning and strategic financial advice. As your limited company grows, our support grows with you.
Hear directly from the businesses we’ve helped grow, adapt, and stay compliant, and see how the right finance partner can give you confidence and time back to focus on what matters most.

Corporation tax in Ireland is charged at 12.5% on trading profits for most Irish companies, while investment income and other passive earnings are taxed at 25%. Every company must file its CT return within nine months after the end of the tax accounting period, and returns must be submitted within this window to avoid a surcharge of 5% (capped at €12,695) or 10% (capped at €63,485) if filed more than two months late. Preliminary tax is due 31 days before the end of the accounting period, and preliminary corporation tax must also be paid on time to avoid interest charges on any tax payable.
For the Companies Registration Office, every Irish company must file an annual return each year using Form B1. The annual return must be filed within 56 days of the annual return date. Late filing triggers penalties of €100 plus €3 per day and, under the Companies Act 2014, can result in the loss of audit exemption. Since July 2025, small companies and micro companies that are not part of a group will retain audit exemption after a single late filing, but a second annual return filed late within five years still triggers mandatory audits for two years.
We ensure your company stays compliant with Irish tax laws and CRO requirements so you can focus on what you do best.
Whether you’re an established company looking for a better return service after years with another firm, or a startup that needs guidance from day one, we begin with a discovery call to understand where you are and where you want to go. Already have an accountant? We handle the transition for you, requesting your full records from your current provider and making the switch seamless and worry-free. You won’t need to manage the handover; that’s our job.
We’ll request your company details and full financial records directly from your outgoing accountant: last year’s accounts, your most recent tax returns, bookkeeping reports, and your profit and loss account. If you’re a limited company in Ireland filing for the first time, we’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed. Our team proactively gathers everything required so there’s no delay in preparing accurate filings and calculating your corporation tax due.
We prepare and file your statutory financial statements, your CRO annual return (Form B1), and your corporation tax return (Form CT1). Depending on your needs, we can also manage VAT returns, preliminary tax payments, and additional filings via the Revenue Online Service. Every return is submitted on time and your company remains fully compliant with Irish tax laws.
Unlike a sole practitioner or partner-dependent firm, Kinore operates a team-based account management model that significantly reduces risk. Your accounts go through multiple levels of review before filing, with dedicated teams for dedicated functions: preparation, senior review, and account management. This means consistency in delivery regardless of staff leave or turnover, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your annual returns are handled by an experienced accounting team rather than a single individual. It’s why switching accountants to Kinore is a decision many Irish companies wish they’d made sooner.
Of course. We understand that many businesses prefer to start with one element, like annual accounts and corporation tax submissions, and build trust before expanding. That’s perfectly fine with us. Over time, many of our clients add bookkeeping, payroll, VAT compliance, management accounts, or strategic advisory. The flexibility to scale from a single service to a fully outsourced finance function is built into everything we do.
Book a discovery call and we’ll handle every step along the way. Whether you need to file your annual return within the coming weeks or you’re planning ahead for the next accounting period, we’ll register for corporation tax if needed, set up your filings with the CRO, and manage the transition from your current accountant. We’re ready when you are.
