Fellow Chartered Accountant · Instant KPI Reporting
Financial clarity, without the headache.
I’m Tadgh Hogan, an operations-centric accountant with 30 years in industry. I help business owners save time and money by taking control of their numbers, replacing messy spreadsheets and manual work with simple, automated systems that give a clear, timely view of how the business is performing.
About
An accountant first
Most ERP projects are led by technical teams. Mine are led by an accountant. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2002 and became a Fellow (FCA) in 2013. Over 30 years as an operations-centric accountant I’ve worked across manufacturing, logistics, BPO and US multinationals, including SOX and US GAAP environments, and as General Manager of Irish Rollforming before founding APT Accounting Solutions in 2018.
My goal is simple: give you the financial clarity you need to grow. That background shapes how I implement Odoo: the chart of accounts, VAT, month-end and reporting are designed in from day one, not bolted on afterwards. The result is a system your finance team trusts and your management team can run the business from.
Originally from Limerick, I’m based in Cork and work with businesses across Ireland.
Qualifications
- Fellow Chartered Accountant (FCA), Chartered Accountants Ireland
