Contracting PLUS

About Contracting PLUS

Operating since 2002 from Dublin, with a second location in Cork, this practice concentrates on independent professionals in Ireland: contractors, freelancers, sole traders and small business owners. Its offer ranges from umbrella company arrangements and PAYE payroll for newcomers to contracting, to setting up and running a personal limited company. It also runs a client app and portal for expenses and timesheets, and has been involved in a body set up to promote a clear tax framework for the contracting sector. People moving to Ireland to take a contract are addressed through a dedicated section, and an expat tax consultation covers foreign income and first-year tax position. The firm has received recognition at the national accountancy awards. Services are delivered in English, with a dedicated account manager assigned to each client, and the founder chairs the sector body the firm helped create.
