M.A. Whately & Co. is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors on Jervis Street in Ardee, Co. Louth. We prepare accounts, tax returns, audits, payroll and company filings for businesses and individuals across Louth, Meath and the rest of Ireland. You deal directly with the people who do the work, and every answer comes in plain English.
About us
Accounts and tax returns are the start. The same office looks after VAT, payroll, statutory audit, company secretarial work, capital allowances, wealth management and business planning, so nothing falls between two firms. See all our services.
Owner-run businesses at every stage: new businesses getting off the ground, and long-established businesses that want to keep growing. We look after the bookkeeping for local GP practices, so the doctors can spend their time on patients, and we prepare tax returns for sole traders, landlords, PAYE workers and farmers.
We start by getting to know you and your business, because the right advice depends on what you want from it: more time with your family, work-free evenings, a bigger profit or room to expand. Then we do more than file the returns. We help you plan, so the business is stable and keeps growing.

How it works
Pick a time on our booking page or ring 041 685 3162. Tell us about your business, where things stand and what you need help with.
Before anything starts, you get the scope, the deadlines and the fee in writing, so there are no surprises.
Moving from another accountant? We ask them for what we need and link to your Revenue record as your tax agent, so the switch takes little of your time.
Testimonials
My experience with M.A. Whately has been fantastic, in fact it couldn’t have been better. Their extensive knowledge, experience and dedicated team make them a pleasure to work with. They are truly EXCELLENT, they really go above and beyond the standard duty of an accountant. They are a team you can trust. A BIG THANK YOU to the whole team!
Paul and the team have been absolutely fantastic to work with. I initially sought his services purely for accounting purposes but as time has passed, I have realised his depth of knowledge surrounding business planning, strategy and marketing has been invaluable to my new physiotherapy clinic.
The team at M.A. Whately offer a very professional and helpful service. As a new start up business, we had plenty of questions and there has always been somebody on the other end of the phone/email to answer us, no matter what the question! More than just an accountant they really work with building and growing your business. A pleasure to deal with and a wonderful supportive service!
AI Integration & Business Automation
M.A. Whately's newest service, alongside accounts, tax and audit. Adrian Capraru connects your accounting software, bank, CRM and email, and automates the admin that does not need a person, so your team gets its hours back. He designed and built the firm's own platform, the M.A. Whately Suite.
"I designed and built every page, flow and safeguard in the M.A. Whately Suite. If a system touches your business data, I know exactly where it goes."
Adrian Capraru, Director of AI & Business Automation
Your data stays in Ireland. The Suite runs on servers in Dublin with its database in Ireland, under EU data protection law. Each business is walled off from every other, and every action is logged.
A person signs off. AI can read a receipt or draft a reply. Nothing is filed with Revenue or sent to a customer without your approval. How the Suite protects your data.
