The SME ranking on this page lists 74 small and medium-sized firms, and 15 of them earned a rank number. No listed business is known to be large, so none is left out. The SME order does not reward age, so newer firms compete on evidence alone. See the SME ranking

1. Check the professional body
Irish accountants are usually members of Chartered Accountants Ireland, ACCA, CPA Ireland or the Institute of Incorporated Public Accountants. Ask which body the firm belongs to and confirm it on that body's own register.
2. Ask who can sign audits
Statutory audit work needs a registered auditor. If you need an audit, or an audit exemption report, ask which partner signs it and which body supervises that registration.
3. Be clear about Revenue work
Ask whether the firm files your VAT, payroll and corporation tax returns and deals with Revenue correspondence for you, and what happens if a deadline is missed.
4. Match the firm to your size
A sole-trader practice, a mid-sized firm and a network member suit different jobs. Ask who will do your work day to day and whether they have clients like you.
5. Agree fees in writing
Ask for a written letter of engagement setting out what is covered, whether fees are fixed or hourly, and what extra work such as catch-up filings or queries would cost.
6. Check software and access
Ask which bookkeeping software the firm supports, whether you keep your own login and how your records are returned if you change accountant.
For vendors
The order is earned on evidence: client reviews, vetting, awards and the facts a business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody can pay to move up. Add reviews or verified facts to your free profile to move up at the next edition; there are two ways to stand out now, and each one says what it is.

The order comes from what each firm publishes and what has been verified about it, and never from payment:
Client reviews are still rare across this catalogue, so on most lists today the order is set by the first two. A firm near the top is the best-documented and best-verified one we hold, which is not the same claim as the best one to hire. Use the list to build a shortlist, then check the firms yourself.
Sponsored listings are labelled and shown apart from this list. How rankings work
Only firms whose profile names Ireland are counted here, so a firm that lists a town but no country is not yet included.
The same list elsewhere: Australia (118) · India (96) · Canada (92).
Every category in Ireland: the Ireland country page.
Every other way we rank accounting firms, by what they do and where they are.
