Stay compliant without the admin headache.

Every Irish company has ongoing legal obligations to the Companies Registration Office and other regulators, annual returns, statutory registers, beneficial ownership filings, and more. Miss a deadline and the consequences aren’t minor: late fees, and potentially losing your audit exemption.

Most directors didn’t set up a business to become CRO compliance experts. We handle the filings, deadlines, and paperwork, so you don’t have to think about it until we tell you it’s done.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Company Secretarial work matters more than it seems

It's easy to underestimate company secretarial obligations because, most of the time, nothing happens, until something does. A missed Annual Return deadline triggers automatic late fees and can mean losing audit exemption for two years, even for a company that's fully compliant in every other way.

 

A change of director, a new shareholder, or a change of registered office all need to be filed correctly and on time. None of these are complicated on their own, but they're easy to forget, and the penalties for getting them wrong are disproportionate to how small the task feels.

 

We make sure none of this falls through the cracks.

How We Help Keep YourCompany Compliant

We take care of the filings, registers, and compliance obligations that every Irish company must maintain, helping you stay compliant without the administrative burden.

Annual return filing (Form B1)

Your CRO Annual Return prepared and filed on time, every year — so audit exemption and good standing are never at risk.

Filing changes — directors, shareholders, registered office

Any change to your company's directors, shareholders, or registered office filed correctly with the CRO, with no gaps in your statutory record.

Company formation support

Guidance through the full company set-up process — name registration, share structure, and initial CRO filings.

Statutory register maintenance

Registers of directors, members, and beneficial owners kept accurate and up to date, as required by law.

Ongoing compliance monitoring

We track your deadlines so you don't have to — and flag anything that needs your attention well before it becomes urgent.

Beneficial ownership registration (RBO)

RBO filings completed and kept current, including updates whenever ownership or control changes.

Voluntary strike-off & restoration

If a company is no longer needed, we handle the strike-off process. If a company has been struck off and needs restoring, we manage that too.

GROWING BUSINESSES

Built for growing and changing businesses

Start-ups and new companies

Getting the company structure right from the start — formation, registers, and initial filings, sets you up to avoid problems later.
Established companies managing annual compliance

If your annual return, registers, and filings are already part of a routine, we make sure that routine never slips.
Businesses going through change

Bringing in a new director, restructuring shareholdings, or changing your registered office as the business grows — all of these need to be filed correctly, and we make sure they are.
Directors who want certainty

If you're not sure whether your filings are correct or up to date, we'll review your company's CRO record and tell you exactly where things stand.

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES

Company secretarial for construction businesses

Construction businesses go through more structural change than most, bringing in a business partner as a project grows, restructuring as a sole trader moves to a limited company, or changing registered office as the business expands into a bigger yard or office.

 

Each of these changes has a knock-on filing requirement with the CRO. Getting them right at the time avoids a much bigger headache later, particularly if a company is later sold, refinanced, or goes through due diligence for a larger contract or tender, when an incomplete CRO record can cause delays at the worst possible moment.

 

If you're already on one of our monthly accounting packages, company secretarial filings are handled as part of that relationship, one less thing to track separately.
