Founded in 2012, Company Start-Ups operates as a dedicated corporate formation and advisory division of Ryan Cannon Kirk, an established Irish accountancy, statutory audit, and tax practice tracing its origins back to 1946.
Our strong foundational background in statutory accounting and SME growth advisory delivers a comprehensive understanding of incorporation legalities, Revenue tax registrations, and compliance with the Companies Act 2014.
Too many Irish entrepreneurs incorporate through automated online document mills, only to discover missing tax head registrations, misallocated share capital, or non-compliant director filings when attempting to open a commercial bank account.
At Company Start-Ups, company formation is not a hasty administrative transaction. It represents the foundational legal cornerstone of your enterprise. Every incorporation dossier handled by our Park West practice undergoes rigorous multi-point verification:

Ryan Cannon Kirk was initially established in Dublin by Mr Thomas McDonnell, practising under the style of Thomas McDonnell & Company, providing audit and accounting services to post-war Irish enterprises.
Two new partners joined the practice to facilitate the planned retirement of Mr McDonnell, with the firm rebranding to Ryan O'Dwyer & Company. Bernard McGeever FCA begins his tenure with the practice.
Ryan O'Dwyer & Company formally merged with Cannon Kirk & Company, creating Ryan Cannon Kirk. The merger consolidated decades of specialised SME audit, corporate tax, and start-up commercial advisory.
The practice relocated its primary corporate headquarters to 20B Beckett Way in Park West Business Park, Dublin 12, establishing a purpose-built corporate office along West Dublin's enterprise corridor.
Company Start-Ups was launched as a specialist subdivision of Ryan Cannon Kirk to address the growing demand from Irish founders and international FDI clients for streamlined, compliant company formations.
