Our Solutions
Every contractor’s situation and requirements are different. Our goal is to ensure that, firstly, you have a full understanding of each solution, and then help you decide which solution best fits your current circumstances. Our solutions for contractors are as follows:
Managed Service Company
Shelbourne Accountants administer the managed service company. You will become a director of this company, along with other contractors. We will register you as an employee of the company and you pay your tax and social insurance through the PAYE system. This puts you on Class "S" of PRSI, for self-employed. This solution is beneficial to those working on short term contracts and whose income is subject to higher tax rates.
PAYE - Umbrella Company
Shelbourne Accountants administer the umbrella company. You will become an employee of the company, along with other contractors. Your tax and social insurance gets paid through the PRSI system, however you are put in the Class "A" of PRSI, which is a very flexible and cost-effective option.
Your Own Limited Company
Shelbourne Accountants can assist you in setting up your own limited company. This solution is appropriate for those who have multiple contracts at one time, or are on a longer term contract.
“Our team can advise you on the best option for you, depending on your own professional circumstances. ”
We are committed to deliver the professionalism and quality of work of a large accountancy firm, without the associated cost. We want to make the whole process timely, efficient and as hassle-free as possible for our clients, building our reputation as a market leader in accountancy and taxation solution services for contractors in Ireland. That is why we believe in a prompt response and good client service with full transparency of the cost and process involved.
Our Technology
We have designed a bespoke online dashboard available for our contractors so they can view their hours worked, payroll & upload any expenses. We do not work 24/7, but you do not need us to – everything you need is available on your dashboard. You can use our App for access to your accounting information, payslips, expenses, hours worked, along with access to our FAQ and suite of other helpful documents anytime, anywhere.
Our technology is easy to use, intuitive, flexible and, most importantly, it allows you far more convenience and efficiency. Our clients never have to wait for answers to questions as they are available immediately and can be accessed at any time. Our technology allows us to be pro-active, not reactive, to see how we can help you become tax efficient.
