Places are set by the evidence TrustList held on 5 October 2026: client reviews, vetting, awards and facts each business states on its own website, which we read and dated. Nobody pays to be placed. A listing with nothing checkable is shown but not ranked, and positions are fixed until the January 2027 edition. A business can move up by adding client reviews or verified facts to its free profile.

By TrustList Editorial

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

How to choose accounting firms

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

How is this ranking worked out?

The order comes from what each firm publishes and what has been verified about it, and never from payment:

  • Profile completeness: the details a buyer needs to judge a firm — what it does, who it serves, how it prices, who it has worked for
  • Earned trust: verification, awards and the other checks a firm has actually passed
  • Client reviews, where they exist: the rating is smoothed, so one five-star review cannot outrank a firm with a hundred good ones, and volume counts with diminishing returns

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.
