A two–partner Chartered firm working with 86 limited companies and a quiet list of sole traders, partnerships and non–resident landlords. Fixed fees where the job allows. Your CT1 filed three weeks early, not three weeks late.
Form 11, CT1, VAT, P30 and RTD returns lodged through ROS last year.
Across SMEs, professional practices and property–holding companies.
Two Chartered partners on every significant engagement, not a rotating junior.
From the moment a Notification of Audit arrives. We answer first, panic never.
We keep the list short on purpose. It is the only way two partners can stay on every file, meet every deadline and still return a phone call the same afternoon. If your business is outside the five below, we will say so honestly and point you to someone who fits.
Every client at Magee & Co. is allocated one partner as engagement lead. Your initial meeting, your annual planning call and any letter that touches Revenue are handled by that partner directly. Junior staff support the work; they do not run it.

ACA (Chartered Accountant, CAI 2014) · Xero Certified Advisor (2017)
Joined Magee & Co. in 2018 from Grant Thornton’s private client team. Leads cloud–accounting migrations and works almost exclusively with owner–managed businesses turning over €300k to €5m. 41 Xero implementations completed since 2019.
Eight line items below cover the majority of the work we do. Each has a starting fee — the figure you pay where the records are reasonably complete and the year is straightforward. We scope anything above that figure in an email before we open the engagement letter. No surprises and no hourly meters running quietly.
These are the operating choices clients ask about most often. We publish them here so you know before signing the engagement letter whether our approach fits yours.
Company accounts, CT1s, Form 11s and payroll are quoted as fixed annual fees. Audit representation, disputed tax and one–off advisory are hourly. The engagement letter you sign names the deliverables, the fee and the end date. If scope changes, we email before we bill.
Company CT1s are drafted in month seven of the nine–month window. Form 11s are circulated in the first week of October. October 31st is a review date here, not a filing date. If your records reach us by month six we guarantee the early draft; after that we queue in order of arrival.
New clients who are still on spreadsheets are migrated to one of Xero, Sage Business Cloud or Surf Accounts within the first three months. We are Xero Certified Advisors but we do not push it where another package fits better. No commission from any vendor, ever.
The three dates below are the filing obligations most of our client base faces in the coming quarter. We send reminders on the 1st of the preceding month, but you should already have these pinned to your wall.
We reply to every first enquiry within one working day. If you are a prospective client, please read the preferred–first–contact note below — it saves us both a meeting that often is not needed.
