Expert Advisers To The Retail & Wholesale Sectors
The retail and wholesale sectors in Ireland have been affected greatly in recent years by changing buyer behaviour, economic downturn and the increase in e-commerce.
These sectors are particularly threatened by the increases in online shopping and the expectation of shorter delivery schedules.
Our services include:
- Completion of management accounts and regular face to face meetings
- Ongoing review of margins( what is/ is not working)
- Advice on cost management
- Advice relating to property acquisition
- Assistance with acquisition of bank/asset finance
We work with our clients in these sectors to reduce operational expenses, improve cash flow into the business and advise on possible organisational re-structures to increase efficiencies.
Our experts work closely with our clients in order to view a business as our client sees it and to then explore with them how to achieve their goals.

Our Services
A complete range of accountancy and business advisory services for today’s businesses.

Accountancy & Audit
When it comes to accountancy and audit, DBASS doesn’t just look at the books, we also look at your business.
The preparation of accounts combined with a thorough audit is at the core of our service offering. As registered auditors, we provide a partner-led, personalised service with experienced professionals involved at all stages of the process. Our experienced and skilled team of auditors will manage the compliance element promptly and efficiently.
We will work closely with you to understand your short and long term business goals so that we can identify any problem areas or potential opportunities to improve the performance of your business. Our expert business advisors will help you to review these areas and will provide you with sound, practical advice.

Business Advisory
Sometimes you need another perspective. Our business advisory services can provide you with that perspective.
At DBASS, we see accountancy as only part of what we can offer you. We look to add value and resilience to your business and yourself personally through technically sound but more importantly practical and innovative advice.
We have over 30 years’ experience in assisting many businesses from start-ups and growing businesses to progressive and profitable established businesses and international companies.
Our business advisory services help you tackle a range of business issues from strategy, finance, sales and marketing, human resources and information technology. Having identified the key issues, we will discuss the various implications with you and recommend the best way forward.

Strategic Tax planning
At DBASS, we adopt a proactive and commercial approach to your tax planning. Our experienced team of tax consultants have the knowledge and expertise to advise owner-managed businesses, SMEs and international businesses on all areas of Irish taxation.
We offer two distinct taxation services – Tax Consultancy and Tax Compliance.
Our tax consultants are up to date with the latest developments in tax legislation and have the expertise to suggest robust tax planning initiatives which will help to minimise your tax liabilities and operate your business more efficiently. We can develop strategies for cash protection, cash extraction, cash flow and cash maximisation.

Revenue Audits & Investigation
At DBASS, we have the expertise and experience to help businesses before, during and after a Revenue Audit or investigation.
Our aim is simple – to minimise the risk of fines, penalties and prosecution, achieve cost savings, and provide business owners and company directors with peace of mind that their business is fully compliant.
Whilst the actual number of Revenue Audits has decreased in recent years, Revenue’s efforts are now focussed on conducting audits and investigations where there is the greatest chance of errors. These can either be comprehensive audits, single tax head audits or straight forward verification checks.

Taxation Compliance
At DBASS, we adopt a proactive and commercial approach to your tax planning. Our experienced team of tax consultants have the knowledge and expertise to advise owner-managed businesses, SMEs and international businesses on all areas of Irish taxation.
We offer two distinct taxation services – Tax Consultancy and Tax Compliance.
Our tax compliance team helps businesses by relieving them of the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. We handle all statutory tax-filing and payment obligations in a timely and efficient manner, and add value by availing of all available deductions and reliefs.
