About

Hello, I’m Frances Prince, the owner of Artisan Accountant. I am a qualified accountant and a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants

Who Am I?

I am a qualified accountant and Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. In addition, I hold a Diploma in Taxation from the Irish Tax Institute and a Bachelor of Business Studies (Hons) degree from WIT. Throughout my professional career, I have spent a number of years working in Ireland, London and Hong Kong.

My main interest now lies in working with, and helping, the local business community. My approach is very much client focused and making sure the client’s needs are correctly identified and actioned. I deal personally and promptly with all my clients.

Small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the Irish economy. They make up over 99% of businesses and account for almost 70% of people employed in Ireland. As a small business owner myself I use my experience to help clients, not only with standard compliance work but also with unexpected challenges.

I am involved on a voluntary basis in a local organisation supporting children with special needs. When I’m not working I love to wind down and you will find me reading a good book or walking with my dog.

Client Testimonials

Artisan Accountant believes in working closely with clients to support them whatever they need. Here is some of the great feedback from clients.

"We were very pleased to find Artisan Accountant and that Frances was able to help us get our our tax return ready to submit online. She was understanding of our situation and efficiently picked up on the areas we were unsure about in a friendly yet professional manner."

"Having met Frances at a business course last year, I called to ask for help with my tax return and was thrilled when she agreed to help me at short notice. I found her to be highly professional and very knowledgeable, as well as very willing to explain anything I didn't know or understand. In addition, she provided me with the tools to work on next year's return. I would highly recommend Frances to anyone!!"

"Frances did a complicated Form 11 tax return for me recently. I have also consulted with her for some tax advice on whether it would be more efficient to pay a lump off my mortgage or invest the money otherwise. She is also giving me tax advice on my handling some shareholdings I have. I can highly recommend Frances based on my experiences in dealing with her. She was completely switched on, knowledgeable and up to date with recent budgets, tax rules etc. She was very thorough, focussed and practical..."

"...In the case of the tax return she was able to understand my very disorganised records spanning a few years and quickly presented all numbers in a clear, organised manner on an easy to understand, easy to update excel spread sheet. She followed up on unanswered queries and replied to any questions I had very quickly and was able to explain anything I did not understand very well. In the case of the tax advice she also took all relevant information, presented the options in a very clear professional manner and gave advice impartially. One of her strengths is to manage details, provide analysis and give you the big picture. I would have no hesitation in recommending Frances to a friend or business colleague."

"There are a number of financial and administrative tasks that Frances has helped with. Being a charitable organisation, our main source of funding are grants. Frances has been a huge help in completing grant applications and successfully securing funding, which allows our club to flourish."

"I had recently moved to Ireland but was still working overseas and I needed advice on my specific tax situation. I was very happy with the assistance Frances provided including the information required on getting set up in Ireland and also the particular tax rules that would apply to my work situation. Frances' vast knowledge gave me the perfect foundation in my new country of living."
