Bio
Emma McConalogue
Knowledgeable, efficient with excellent business sense is how I would describe Liam. I initially engaged with Liam on a particular HMRC related query in June 2020. Liam expertly advised me on this, and after taking the time to understand the business model, also offered carefully thought-through suggestions and business structuring recommendations. I was particularly impressed with the time and effort put towards understanding the business, and suggestions for alternative revenue streams. I feel very fortunate to have an ongoing professional relationship with Liam and would highly recommend him for business consultancy work. Sound advice always.
