Liam McGrath & Company
Chartered Certified Accountants & Professional Tax Advisors

Background
Based in the Midlands the practice was established in 1989, and has grown steadily since that time. Our Portlaoise office enables us to serve our clients around Leinster and to serve the towns of Portlaoise, Kilkenny, Carlow, Athy, Nass & Newbridge areas, all of which are only a 1/2 hour drive. Our Roscrea office is a 1 hour drive from Limerick and 1.5 hrs from Galway, which enables us to serve our clients throughout Ireland.

In addition to normal accounting & taxation practice work, we have gained a vast amount of invaluable experience working in senior financial management positions for medium to large international manufacturing companies throughout the last 15 years. This enables us to bring wider viewpoint to our work, as we understand the various issues affecting business, aside from financial reporting, tax compliance & audit, etc.

For example we have worked extensively with Irish and International companies to enable them to improve their operational efficiencies, to measure the resultant performance improvement, to reduce their cost base and set up costing systems, to prepare strategic business plans and to set up communications & IT systems.
