"I came across Upton Ryan some years ago as they were Statutory Accountants and Auditors to the subsidiary of a Multi-National Company who operated a large manufacturing facility here in Arklow of which I was General Manager.

When I decided to setup my own Production Facility early in 2019, Upton Ryan were a natural choice and I found them more than helpful with my start up. They advised & helped me every step of the way from company formation through to Revenue registrations, setting up & running my company’s accounts system & payroll to dealing with Enterprise Ireland Grant Applications etc. etc.

Essentially, they were a one stop shop for all my accounting needs. They are always available and really give a personal professional touch to their services. I would highly recommend them for any start up or large manufacturing facility. "
