Who Zoho Accounting is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Wicklow, this service is likely a good fit.

Problems Zoho Accounting solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Wicklow.
Stock and sales that do not agree
If inventory sits in a separate sheet, margins are guesswork. Linked items give real cost and stock figures. Ask about it early if your team works from Bray, Wicklow or Greystones.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Wicklow, books must reflect 23% standard VAT and be ready for review by Revenue and the Companies Registration Office. In Wicklow, a short workshop on this saves weeks later.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. It is a frequent topic for film and media owners across Wicklow.

Automated recurring invoices, reminders and approvals

- 2

Import contacts, items and opening balances
Clean lists first, import in small batches and reconcile opening balances to your last trial balance. Teams in Bray usually raise this in the first call.
Before you start: preparation checklist
Having these ready usually shortens the project.
Your accountant's preferred account structure
Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.
Bank and card account details for feeds
Feeds need account details; the earlier they are set up, the sooner reconciliation starts.
Last trial balance and opening balances
Opening balances anchor the new books to your last agreed position.
Common mistakes to avoid
Learning from others’ errors is the cheapest way to improve.
Leaving bank rules unchecked
Unchecked rules can categorise payments wrongly for months.
Using one expense account for everything
One catch-all account hides costs and makes analysis useless.
