Dear Reader

Welcome to our Autumn newsletter.

As usual we are covering a wide variety of topics that I am certain one or more of which will pique your interest, with some of them particularly relevant as we approach budget time and head into pension season. As always we welcome all feedback and are happy to take suggestions as to what topics you might like to see covered in the future.

Internationally it’s a case of more of the same. Trump is testing us to see if we can roll our eyes more than we already can and his Twitter feed proves to be the gift that keeps on giving.  The less said about Rocket Man the better.  Angela Merkel remains in power, but the rising right is a cause for concern. In the meantime, Brexit looms large on the horizon and still no roadmap as to how the UK will get there. Thankfully, the potential impact and related uncertainty does not seem to be slowing down Irish business activity and productivity.

The wheels of industry must keep going.  As business leaders you are well used to dealing with uncertainty. You seek advice, assess the risk and most importantly you make a call.  Quintas is here to help you make that decision.  Whether your call revolves around business expansion, restructuring, accessing new markets, succession, banking or tax, our partners and staff are here to help you develop your business potential, mitigate risk and help you move forward.

Quintas too continues to expand.  Existing clients seek out new services and new clients look for a different perspective on their challenges.  Our graduate programme, in conjunction with CIT, continues to provide us with an outstanding crop of young people ready to apply their knowledge and obtain their professional qualification as trainee accountants. I would like to wish all of our clients a successful close to the year and I look forward, as part of the Quintas team, to continue helping you with your opportunities and challenges into the future.
