Thanks again for your advice.

Funnily enough, We are based in Limerick and cover all of north Cork, parts of Clare and Tipp.

Limerick eh, north Cork, Tipp, Clare. What are you doing to me. May well search the FAS website myself on Monday.

Would love to know the extent of your workload. Have you an estimated time scale of what hours you were spending on the duties you would like your new employee to do for you?

If you could roughly work this out it would be a great starting point as I would expect a person trained in these fields of office/accounts work to do it a bit faster than you (no offence meant) which would mean they would need less hours to do the tasks.

On the other hand, if your system is a bit behind, they may well need extra hours to sort this out for you and your company.

I am basically looking for someone to make the business as cost effective as possible.

I dont know what business you are in but I would contact the IDA as I am sure they would love to hear from a potentially expanding business. They can offer grants for job generation and being in Limerick this area provides the highest grants per employee plus they can help with a new site even and possibly 12 to 24 months rent free. Also talk to them about running your own business for recommendations of a business consultant to assist you.

If they cannot help maybe you should talk to a business consultant. These would be between €300 > €1000 a day and can help both short term and long term. I would look at two days a month for 6 months, you might be surprised at how they could change your business.

I am not a consultant BTW

The IDA don't work with Irish companies. County enterprise boards and Enterprise Ireland are who you need to talk to.

I do all the paperwork myself, payroll, VAT returns, invoicing,quotations etc.

If the business is

Quote
Invoice (receipt) (say up to 50 a week)
Statements
Follow up letters for overdue accounts
VAT Returns
VAT Inputs

then there are a number of very very easy to use software packages out there. One springs to mind which I'll PM if your interested.

Some of these packages are so easy to use, perhaps one hour a week to prepare and print out outstanding invoices, envelope and post. One hour a week to enter inputs. Half hour bi monthly to check and print VAT return details.

Oh how I would love this job but Im in Dublin I joined a company 10 years ago in a very similar role and unfortunatley I am being made redundant soon. My salary at the moment is 40k full time plus aprox 7k bonus. Hope this helps a little with regards how much to pay.
