Accountants for Start-ups in Ireland
Starting up is exciting — and full of firsts: how to set up, what to register for, which software to use, and how to keep enough cash to keep going. KPG Accounting Services Limited helps Irish founders start on solid foundations, with only the support they actually need right now.
Understanding the sector
Every start-up faces the same early questions: the right structure, forming the company, registering with Revenue for the taxes that apply, setting up bookkeeping and Xero, and keeping an eye on cash. You don’t need every service on day one — you need the right few, set up well, and a clear path to add more as you grow, raise or hire.
Common challenges
Getting set up right
Structure, company formation and Revenue registrations done correctly.
Cash & runway
Keeping enough cash to reach the next milestone.
Systems from day one
Clean bookkeeping and Xero so you’re not fixing it later.
Knowing what you need (and don’t)
Avoiding paying for services you don’t yet require.
Every one of these problems disappears the moment bookkeeping is handled properly, in the cloud, by a team that does it every day. That’s what we offer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Should I set up as a sole trader or a company?
It depends on your plans, risk, funding and income — there’s no one-size-fits-all, and a company isn’t automatically better. Many founders start simple and incorporate later. We’ll look at your situation and recommend what suits this stage. See our Company Formation and Business Advisory pages.
What do I need to register for when I start?
That depends on your structure and activity — it may include corporation tax or income tax, VAT (if you meet the thresholds or register voluntarily) and PAYE if you employ. We’ll work out exactly what applies to you and handle the registrations. See our Tax Services page.
Do I need every accounting service straight away?
No — and we won’t suggest you do. Most start-ups need the essentials set up well (structure, registrations, Xero and a simple cash plan) and can add payroll, reporting and advisory as they grow. We’ll recommend only what you need now. Get in touch to talk it through.
Can you help with funding or grant applications?
Yes. We prepare the figures, budgets and forecasts that lenders, investors and grant bodies expect. Eligibility for specific grants depends on the programme and your facts, so we’ll help you present a credible case. See our Business Advisory page.
