Working closely with our DFK colleagues, we now provide an integrated and robust global service to include:

  1. Audit.
  2. Corporation tax.
  3. Management accounting.
  4. Corporate compliance (including provision of registered office).
  5. Payroll.
  6. HR consultancy.
  7. Business consultancy.

Crowleys DFK coordinate the one-stop shop global service and act as the single point of contact for the client. This ensures the efficient and timely review, approval and sign-off of payroll, management accounts, VAT and various ad-hoc queries between the client and advisors in DFK firms across 6 different countries.

“LocalEyes has worked closely with Harry O’Sullivan and the teams at Crowleys DFK for a number of years for tax advice, accounting and audit services. Crowleys DFK’s partners (Harry-Advisory, Tony-Audit, Siobhan-Tax) have provided LocalEyes with the highest level of service in Ireland and European locations and assisted in the evolution of the company. We look forward to a continued business relationship.”
