Cloud accounting on Xero is part of how a small Cookstown-based practice keeps pace with clients of any size across Dungannon and Mid Ulster — live, up-to-date numbers you can check any time.
As Eoín put it after a recent industry event on AI in accounting: technology can automate a lot, "but the personal touch and interaction is still recommended." Xero is the tooling; a real person still checks what it produces.
Cash position, outstanding invoices and upcoming bills, visible any time — not just at year end.
Transactions flow in automatically, cutting down manual data entry and the errors that come with it.
Digital records and direct HMRC submission built in, ahead of Making Tax Digital's expanding thresholds.
Raise and send invoices from a phone or laptop, and see the moment they're paid.
You and Gortreagh look at the exact same live numbers — no waiting on a spreadsheet to be emailed over.
Software handles the entry; Eoín and the team still review what it produces before it's relied on.
Yes — Gortreagh can be added as your accounting adviser on an existing Xero file with no disruption to how you currently work.
Records can be migrated across from most common bookkeeping software or spreadsheets as part of onboarding.
Xero carries its own subscription cost, separate from Gortreagh's fees — this gets confirmed clearly as part of any quote, no surprises.
Book a short call and we'll map out what onboarding looks like for your business.
