Accounting Software for Accountants in Ireland | HelloBooks HelloBooks for Irish practices: AI does the first pass on client bookkeeping, every client in one login at no extra cost, VAT3 figures ready for review.
Irish practices spend much of their week on the same tasks for every client: chasing records, coding bank lines, preparing VAT3s and answering the same questions. HelloBooks moves the first pass to AI. Transactions arrive coded with an account and Irish VAT rate, documents are read and attached, and the practice reviews rather than enters. Every client sits in one login, and accountants pay nothing for access.
Free Plan with invoices within 200 transactions, bills & quotes — no credit card.
In a traditional bookkeeping job, staff key or code each transaction, then a senior reviews. With HelloBooks the coding is proposed as the data arrives, so staff time shifts to checking exceptions: unusual amounts, new suppliers, mixed-rate documents and anything the AI was unsure about. The senior review looks at a ledger that is already complete.
Accountants move between client workspaces from their own login without separate subscriptions. Clients can do as much or as little as suits them, from uploading statements and photographing receipts to running the whole ledger, while the practice sees the same live books.
Practices with dozens of VAT clients know the crunch in the days before the 19th and the 23rd.
Bi-monthly VAT means six peaks a year. With client ledgers coded through the period, each VAT3 is computed from the books and can be opened box by box to the transactions behind it. The practice reviews, agrees the figures with the client and enters them in ROS as agent. HelloBooks does not file to ROS itself.
HelloBooks is the client bookkeeping layer that feeds those tools with a clean trial balance.
Start with clients whose books are simple and whose records arrive late, because they gain the most. Set up the chart of accounts and VAT treatments once, invite the client, and agree a weekly routine: statement uploads and receipt photos from the client, review from the practice. Move more complex clients once the practice has a template it trusts.
Firms can join the HelloBooks Partner Program at no cost. Partners complete a short certification and earn status that brings a wholesale discount on client subscriptions. There are no commission payouts; the discount applies to what the practice or its clients pay.
