Office Max!

As this Irish businessmen notes, there are different options for accounting services. You can hire an accountant or use online services. At Office Max, you can buy accounting software like QuickBooks. Then you have to decide whether to do-it-yourself or bring in an accountant.

I must start taking more notice of the AdSense advertisements over there on the left hand side - I just noticed one for Teamwork Accounting - 'Online Accounting for a fixed fee per month'

Teamwork Accounting introduces service accounting to Ireland. An all-inclusive online service whereby internet technology is used to truly collaborate with clients.

Similar to Internet banking, Teamwork Accounting allows you to process all of your accounting and tax records in a simple, secure and efficient way over the internet. The information entered by you is immediately available to your designated Teamwork accountant, who can validate and if necessary correct the transactions. Based on the information entered, we will automatically process your VAT returns, year end accounts, tax return and any other relevant accounting and tax obligations which you might have.

Too late for this year but definitely a service to investigate for next year.
