Case Study: Paddy Quinn & Co Chartered Accounting achieves streamlined operations and smarter pricing with Bright's AccountancyManager

Customising AM for the Irish market with Paddy Quinn & Co

Paddy Quinn & Co Chartered Accounting, a Dublin-based practice of eight serving law firms, rentals and other local businesses, needed AccountancyManager adapted for the Irish market — different regulators (Revenue and CRO), PPSN instead of UTR/NI, a January–December tax year and local payroll rules like PRSI and USC. Bright (AccountancyManager) engaged Paddy directly to help guide those localisations and to improve client-portal, compliance and time-tracking workflows.

Bright implemented an Ireland-specific version of AccountancyManager with Paddy’s input, updating terminology, deadlines, portal security and integrations (e.g., Xero). The firm moved from manual, chaotic processes to structured, secure workflows: over half their clients now use the portal for GDPR/KYC documents, weekly time-tracking revealed undercharged clients (finding 3–4 hours vs 1–2 billed) enabling annual fee adjustments, and the practice now runs regular productivity reviews — delivering clear time, pricing and compliance improvements.
