Nick Linnane & Co

Nick works with clients on an ongoing basis as a business partner, helping and guiding them on all aspects of running their business from improving systems to creating sales.

Reared in a country shop, he comes from a business mentality and is focused on making the customer king and knowing how to deal with the public. As he says: "Every company needs an accountant to look after the ‘necessary evils’ of running a business such as dealing with corporation tax and Companies Office filings.

"We aim to add value by getting more involved in clients’ businesses as a business partner rather than just an accountant."

For example, the burning issue for most small and medium-sized enterprises at the moment is the availability of finance from banks.

"The cashflow document has become the most important thing now when dealing with banks. We help clients with this and hold their hands through bank applications. If banks aren’t advancing facilities, we look at alternatives that might be out there," Nick notes.
