Frances Hegarty & Co

About Frances Hegarty & Co

Frances Hegarty & Co is a Chartered Accountants Ireland-regulated audit and accountancy practice in Glanmire, County Cork, set up in 2009 by Frances Hegarty after a period as a partner at a Cork city firm. A small team of accountants, a bookkeeper, a payroll specialist and a company secretarial specialist serves entrepreneurs, sole traders, established businesses and family companies, including firms in construction, hospitality, retail and transport. The practice grew mainly through client referrals. Besides accounts, audit, tax and payroll, it offers start-up guidance, management accounting, outsourced financial controller support, financial planning and forensic accounting. Its tax pages mention expatriates and overseas operations, but the positioning remains domestic and focused on local owner-managed clients, with no stated language services beyond English and no dedicated service for non-resident owners.
