How to give the taxman a break and save money for yourself and your family.
My name is Deirdre O’Keeffe. I established Burdy in 2007 and have worked tirelessly to build it into a company that I am proud to represent. We started our life under the name Premier Accounts Assist Limited but in 2021 felt we deserved a shot of business botox to mirror how fresh we feel and so Burdy was born. Ready to fly! Our small team is dedicated to looking after the bookkeeping and payroll needs of each and every client as if they are our only client.
After working and training in a successful music television company in London back in the noughties, I was intrigued to watch how one of the most successful media companies globally didn’t wear the corporate mask that we have become so familiar with. It was laid back, friendly (dare I say fun) and this was part of the reason for its success.
I took what I learned and saw a niche market in Ireland for an approachable, friendly and professional bookkeeping and payroll service with an ethos of care to the customer and employees without jargon or a harsh corporate façade.
We speak plain English, we enjoy our work and we aim to arm you with as much helpful information to help you understand what we do and why we do it.
