What we do. Differently.

If we were your taxi company, we wouldn’t just take you from A to B.
We would also build the road on which to do it.

Before we deliver our services to you, we design an accounting system for you

Xero and its Add-on applications are fantastic but they are only tools at the end of the day. What makes O’Rourke & Co different is that our client relationship starts with a detailed analysis of how the financial side of your business works. We ask questions like:

What key information do you need about your business each week/month?
What bookkeeping tasks are taking too long? E.g. data entry of purchase invoices
Where have you experienced errors in the past?
What information do you need “on the go” e.g. on mobile devices

Next Generation Accounting

Once we learn what you need and what is not currently working, we design an entirely new bookkeeping system using Xero, Receipt Bank and other applications like Go Cardless, Soldo, Float and even training in how to move to online banks like Revolut. We train you in how to use these systems with a clearly defined list of weekly/monthly tasks, some deliverable by your team and others by ourselves.

We cover all areas of your accounting function from Purchases Orders, Stock Control, E-Commerce integration, Credit Control, Cashflow Forecasting, Payroll and VAT all the way up to Monthly Management Accounts. Ultimately, you will have an efficient, modern bookkeeping system that’s supported by our expertise throughout the month with you doing the day to day tasks and us taking on monthly reporting and reviewing.
