At PSS Accountancy Ltd, we go beyond simply balancing the books — we provide clear, reliable, and compliant accounting services that give you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on running your business.

Every company in Ireland, whether active or dormant, has legal obligations to the Companies Registration Office (CRO). Missing a deadline can result in penalties, loss of audit exemption, or even being struck off the register. We remove the stress of compliance by managing your filings accurately and on time, ensuring you stay fully compliant.

From your first annual return to ongoing financial statements, we prepare and submit everything required, keeping your records in line with CRO standards. We also provide proactive reminders, practical advice, and a fully managed service so that deadlines never catch you by surprise.

Whether you’re a start-up, SME, or established company, our accounting services ensure your business is financially secure, compliant, and positioned for long-term success.

With PSS Accountancy Ltd, your accounts are in safe hands — so you can concentrate on growing your business with confidence.

• First Annual Return Due 6 Months Post-Incorporation – Your company’s first Annual Return Date (ARD) comes six months after incorporation. While financial statements are not required at this stage, it is still a vital compliance deadline.

• Subsequent Annual Returns Require Financial Statements – After the first ARD, annual returns must include financial statements that accurately reflect your company’s position.

• Late Filing Penalties Add Up Quickly – Missing filing deadlines leads to immediate penalties and daily fines, which can become costly if not addressed.

• Risk of Losing Audit Exemption – Late filings may result in losing audit exemption for two years, potentially forcing businesses into unnecessary, expensive audits.

• Company Strike-Off Risks – Continued non-compliance can lead to the CRO striking off your company, putting your limited liability protection at risk.

• Mandatory Electronic Filing – All returns must now be filed online through the CRO’s CORE system; paper filings are no longer accepted.

• Dormant Companies Still File – Even if your company is not trading, annual returns are still required to remain compliant.

• Director Identification Requirements – Directors must provide a PPSN (or alternative such as an RBO or VIN) when filing annual returns.

• Extensions Are Limited – Filing extensions are only available through a court application made at least 21 days in advance of the deadline.
