Challenge
Elaine Kennedy, the founder of Hawthorn Handmade Skincare, needed to establish and manage a Limited Company in Ireland while maintaining compliance with all accounting and regulatory requirements. As a business owner operating from a rural farm in Co. Mayo, she faced the challenge of understanding her obligations as a company director, managing deadlines, and ensuring proper financial record-keeping without in-house accounting expertise.
I have relied on Kinore to take care of the accounting and compliance requirements that are necessary for Limited Companies in Ireland. I've noticed a big difference from when I started out to now. I feel more equipped to run a company now that I have my accountants support. I am informed about upcoming deadlines and I have a greater understanding of my requirements. The team also helped me move to online accounting software and I have a great relationship with my accountants – they are always happy to answer any questions I have. — Elaine Kennedy, Founder Hawthorn Handmade Skincare
