Overview.
We love the Quickbooks accounting system. It looks good, has loads of graphs and is easy to interrogate in case you need to look into a particular issue. Kevin Barry of Profitlab has been hired multiple times by Quickbooks Ireland to present webinars and training to Business Owners, Accountants, and Bookkeepers.
The Profitlab team specialises in helping business owners have a system in place which lets them know if they are making money or not. Setting up and supporting online accounting systems using the Quickbooks software of Intuit and integrating relevant additional programs with it is what is.
We believe that if the system is set up correctly in the first place this will ease the administration pressures and costs of business owners.
Our Guarantee: We do not want you to use Quickbooks online accounting unless you like using it. So in the first 30 days if it’s not for you just call Kevin on 1 800 476 984 and tell him you hate it and we will close it down and give you your money back immediately
In the process we:
· Sell you your Quickbooks License
· Set-up of Fix Up your Quickbooks program so that it gives you the information you wish to know about in an easy to understand manner
· Automate your business so that the accounts largely put themselves together
· Schedule key information to be emailed to you as frequent as you wish
· Ensure your phone app is easy to use and integrated with the above
“The best of the whole lot has been that app you gave me. To be able to photograph the bills when they happen, and then forget about them has been a lifesaver!”

“After months of research we decided to move to Quickbooks Online. Kevin audited our setup and sorted all our issues in no time, so we could pay our VAT in confidence. Highly knowledgeable (helped Quickbooks to setup in Ireland), very clear instructions.”
Chris Izart

“Kevin and his team have guided us through the process of setting up QuickBooks. From the outset they provided fantastic guidance and support. Kevin was very available and prompt in responding to queries. His excellent coaching skills and ability to instil confidence to use QuickBooks was really appreciated.”

Annett arrived in Ireland from Germany for a summer break more than 20 years ago and liked it so much she decided to stay.
She has been an integral part of the team at Kevin Barry & Co for more than ten years.
Annett is a fully qualified Accounting Technician and a member of Accounting Technicians Ireland. Outside the office, Annett likes fast cars, photography and all the glamour that goes with that.
She climbed to Mount Everest Base Camp in 2014 and recalls the views and people up there as unforgettable.

On days off I love walking and swimming on Gurteen beach, Roundstone, with my family! My big ambition is to sky dive over the Grand Canyon in the next 5 years.
I joined our practice in 2021 as Administrator and have a keen interest in AML procedures. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their businesses and what makes them work best. Outside of the office, I speak 6 languages and like to climb the local Diamond mountain with my family, travelling and reading. I have left my life as a former professional singer behind and do not miss my time on the road one bit.
I am currently studying International Commerce in UCD, but work with here seasonally and remotely on a regular basis. I handle AML onboarding and often am involved in the Dext and Quickbooks onboarding area.
I was educated at Clifden Community School, and Cistercian College Roscrea and have a keen interest in Golf and Gaelic Football, being part of the Naomh Feichin Clifden squad. I see myself maintaining a strong career in business when I graduate and hopes to include continued international travel where possible. (Don’t we all!)
