Our experienced professionals provide comprehensive, reliable, and professional company secretarial services to ensure you stay compliant with all legal requirements while taking advantage of the full range of benefits available to businesses in Ireland.

In this blog post, we will discuss 11 essential CRO services you can get from your Dublin accountant. So, read on to find out how our team can help make managing your corporate affairs easier!

1.     Financial Statements

APM Accountants understand that submitting financial statements with the CRO is essential to company compliance. This is why we strive to make the process as easy and straightforward as possible.

Our team of expert accountants provide comprehensive services to ensure that all filing requirements by the CRO are accurately completed each year. We prepare and submit financial statements to ensure compliance with requirements under accounting legislation. So, you can take comfort knowing your business’ financial statements will be up to date.

With dedicated expertise to handle all filing functions in Ireland, APM Accountants can help bring clarity and peace of mind when it comes to financial accounts.

2.     Change of Name/Registered Office

APM Accountants, an experienced Dublin accounting firm specialising in providing unparalleled customer service, have extensive expertise in various company secretarial services. Our top-notch services include filing documents with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) when a company’s name or registered office address needs to be changed. This is crucial in ensuring that all updates and required changes are properly charted, so companies can continue operating without unnecessary hassle.

No matter the size of your business, APM Accountants Dublin will be more than willing to help make changes to your CRO documentation!

3.     Annual Return 

As part of our company secretarial services, APM Accountants can ensure that your annual return is filed with the CRO on an annual basis. Updating important information regarding your directors, shareholders, and business operations is critical, and we are well-versed in completing this task correctly. We guarantee that all relevant data is updated to provide a faultless filing process for your company’s annual return each year.

4.     Notice of Appointment of Directors/Officers

APM Accountants can ensure that businesses comply with all regulations regarding changes in director or officer appointments — by submitting a notice of such changes within two weeks of them taking effect. Our expert team help make it easy for companies to comply with the rules and regulations of the CRO!

5.     Notification for Strike-Off Action

If you wish to dissolve a company, file a notice for strike-off action. But you can only proceed when all outstanding debts have been settled and no legal proceedings are pending against it.

As part of our services, we can help you with registering a notification for strike-off action if you wish to dissolve your company. For a successful notification, it is essential to ensure that all outstanding debts have been settled. Also, there should be no legal proceedings pending against the company.

We understand how important properly filing an application is in ensuring the dissolution process runs smoothly, which is why we are here to assist!

6.     Allotment of Shares & Shareholders Register

Issue share certificates to shareholders and maintain an accurate register showing details of all shareholders who own equity in the company.

By entrusting this task to APM, you can be sure that all records will be kept up to date, with information regarding issued shares and details of all shareholders who own equity in the company. This not only helps create a secure recordkeeping system but also ensures that your company remains legally compliant with all Irish company secretarial regulations.

7.     Filing Fees & New Company Forms

Our experienced specialists will guide you through all the necessary steps, from payment of CRO filing fees and completion of Memorandum of Association Forms to Form A1 (Notice Registered Office), Form B1 (Confirmation Statement Of Capital) & B2 (Allotment Of Shares).

We ensure that your filings are done professionally and with accuracy. So, you can have peace of mind knowing that everything is taken care of in compliance with Irish legislation.

8.     Charge Registration

APM Accountants understand that the timely registration of charges at the CRO is an essential part of business operations in Ireland. Our team will record all details related to secured loans and mortgages granted by your company to third parties. We will ensure the registration of charges is completed within 21 days from the date of creation or modification. We believe this is a vital part of managing risk and protecting the interests of your creditors.

9.     Certificate of Incorporation

Obtaining a Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies Registration Office (CRO) is an important step in formally registering a business in Ireland. This document provides proof that a company has been incorporated and the official recognition of its limited status under Irish law. 

The document also includes the incorporation date and number registered with CRO and confirms the full incorporated name as listed before conducting any trading activities.

APM Accountants provide company secretarial services to help customers obtain this essential Certificate of Incorporation efficiently and comprehensively.

10.  Financial Year Reports

We provide comprehensive and reliable company secretarial services to assist you in meeting your legal obligations under the Companies Acts 2014 and 2015. 

Our services include preparing financial year reports, which accurately outline the current financial position of your business for any twelve-month period ending on the specified date and detailing income received and expenditure incurred as per CRO requirements.

Furthermore, annual accounts will be compiled in accordance with relevant regulations set out by both Irish and European bodies. With our assistance, you can rest assured that all company filing duties are being fulfilled to the highest standard.

11.  Tax Clearance Certificate

APM Accountants make applying for a Tax Clearance Certificate simple. The TC1 certificate is an essential legal document required by the Revenue Commissioners before engaging in any trading activities, regardless of the form of remuneration.

Our qualified professionals have extensive knowledge of the Irish taxation system and can ensure your application follows all necessary guidelines to receive your Tax Clearance Certificate quickly and efficiently. With our help, you can rest easy knowing you comply with all Irish taxation requirements.

APM Accountants make the entire CRO filing process easy and stress-free. Whether you need to change a company name or register a new allotment of shares, their comprehensive company secretarial service ensures that all documents are filed accurately and promptly. 

We can assist with notified strike-off action, filing fees, certificates of incorporation and financial year reports. We can also provide a tax clearance certificate to prove your business is tax compliant. Such an extensive level of service is needed when filing with the CRO – you don’t want any errors dragging down your business.
