What moves the price
- Complexity of the business — a group of companies or overseas trading means more for the auditor to test.
- Size of the financial statements — more transactions and balances mean more audit sampling and more days of work.
- Specific services required — a forensic audit usually takes far longer than a standard financial audit.
- Auditor's experience — a firm that audits many businesses in your sector often charges more but knows where to look.
Other services n.e.c. prices in Ireland are up 7% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Other services n.e.c., to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical auditor would have cost about €3730 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Having tidy, reconciled records ready before the auditor arrives cuts the time they spend on the audit.

- Fixing the weaknesses the auditor flagged last time means less follow-up work, and less time charged, on the next audit.
