Strategic Planning

The pressures of daily business can often mean strategic planning takes a back seat, but to have a successful business it is vital to plan ahead. We’ll help you develop a strategic plan that examines where you want your business to be in the next 3-5 years and exactly how you and your team can achieve these aims and objectives.

Your strategic plan will:

  • Define the characteristics of your company in three to five years.
  • Identify your competitors.
  • Define your objectives and financial goals.
  • Include an effective implementation strategy to achieve your goals.

Administrative/Office Duties

Company legislation requires businesses to perform several administration tasks that take up a lot of valuable company time. The possible threat of penalties for failing to keep up with the changing rules is too great a risk to take.

At Fahey & Walsh we can relieve this burden for you. Our services include:

  • General advice on company law.
  • Company formations.
  • Filing annual returns on your behalf.
  • Preparing all documentation related to minutes and resolutions.
  • Maintaining statutory books.

  • Bonus issues.
  • Share transfers.
  • Registered office facility.

We also understand that day-to-day office duties are not everyone’s cup of tea and are happy to help with some or all of the following services:

  • Processing payroll.
  • Paying creditors and processing payments.
  • Collecting and banking debts.
  • Various secretarial tasks.

However, with our years of experience we can address the complex issues of business continuation, removing the stress from your shoulders.
