Testimonials

Mairéad recently completed a body of work for us relating to VAT on the sale of our company’s commercial property. We found Mairéad to be attentive, practical and capable of guiding us smoothly through the various VAT related complexities of the transaction.

Martin O’Donnell Nuhall Retail Services Limited

I was introduced to TaxKey by my own accountant when I had a particularly difficult situation that needed immediate attention. Mairead and her team really ‘stepped up to the plate’ and not only concurred with the opinion but offered a slightly differing view which, when taken into account reduced the final tax due even more. I am more than happy to recommend TaxKey, as I have done in the past. Her exposure and experience and value for money is second to none!

Declan Kennedy Reiken & Associates

Mairéad and the team at Taxkey were brilliant to engage with on our R&D Tax credit. Helped us to understand what was valid R&D expenditure and worked with us every step of the way, producing our technical case and financial accounts for our claim. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Eamonn Costello patientMpower

Kane Bergin & Company used the services of Taxkey on a tricky tax assignment in 2019. We found Mairéad to be very professional, courteous and practical in dealing with us and our client. We would have no hesitation in using Taxkey in the future or recommending their services

Austin Bergin Kane Bergin & Company

As a Sole Practitioner the services of Taxkey have given me the exact reassurance I require in relation to any tax issue. Mairead is always quick to respond and her advice is always excellently measured with all Tax-Heads for any issue given thorough consideration.
