Icon Accounting Updates and News

600 reviews from the contractors we look after, and a 5-star rating to go with them. We're proud of the number, but what we're really proud of is what sits behind it. So rather than tell you why we think Icon Accounting offers the best contractor accounting services in Ireland, we thought we'd let our clients do the talking. Here are the words contractors reach for most when they describe working with us.

Thinking of Reviewing Your Company Solution?

Contracting info, Limited Company Solutions & Setup

As your contracting career develops, it's well worth reviewing whether your current company solution is still the right fit. Circumstances change, and the setup that suited you at the start of your journey might not be the one that helps you take home the most from your contract today.

Employing a Spouse or Family Member in Your Company

Contracting info

Thinking about processing a spouse to your company payroll? It's one of the questions we're asked most often by contractors operating through their own Personal Limited Company, and it's a good one to ask. Done properly, employing a family member can be a genuinely tax efficient way to reward work that's actually being done for the business.

Are you a contracting workaholic? Let us handle the accounting jobs for you!

Contracting info

Contracting tends to attract driven people. You take on a role because you want to deliver, do a brilliant job, and go again on the next challenge. Here's what we've learned over the last 18 years of looking after contractors in Ireland, though. Your days are full and your lives are busy, and for the length of every contract your focus is on one thing: delivering your services into the project in front of you. The last thing you want after all that is to come home and start doing your own accounts.

Life Cover vs Income Protection: What Contractors Need to Consider

Wealth Management & Financial Planning

One of the most common questions we hear at Icon Wealth Management from contractors and umbrella company directors is some version of this: “I have some life cover. Am I sorted?” The short answer is: probably not entirely. Life cover and income protection are two very different things, and most contractors need both, but for different reasons, at different times, and in different amounts.

Halfway Through the Year: A Mid-Year Check-In for Contractors

Contracting info

We've reached the halfway point of the year, and if you're like most contractors, the last six months have flown by. Between contracts, deadlines and the day-to-day of running your own business, it's easy to put your own finances on the long finger. But the middle of the year is the ideal time to pause, take stock, and make sure everything is still working as hard as it should be for you.
