SMEs & Entrepreneurs

One monthly fee. One expert team. Total peace of mind.

Running an SME is demanding.

That’s why Fitzgerald & Partners created our SME Packages: to give business owners a trusted, experienced team to look after their accounts, payroll, compliance and financial performance — so you can focus on running and growing your business.

With over 25 years’ experience and a reputation as thought leaders in SME and we deliver far more than accounting — we deliver confidence, clarity and control.

Fitzgerald & Partners – Chartered Accountants & SME Specialists

Irish SMEs are navigating one of the most challenging trading environments in recent years.

According to the latest survey from the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association, the dominant issues facing business owners in 2026 are:

• Rising business overheads (energy, rent, rates)

• Increasing labour costs and employer PRSI

• Employee tax pressure

• Persistently high insurance premiums

• Recruitment, retention and AI-driven productivity challenges

At Fitzgerald & Partners – Chartered Accountants & SME Specialists, we are deeply engaged with these realities because we work with owner-managed businesses every day.

SMEs are not looking for textbook theory. They need:

• Clear financial visibility
