Icon Accounting is an accounting and tax compliance service provider for contractors in Ireland, rather than a typical pure SaaS product. Its services focus on company structure selection, invoicing, payroll, tax withholding, income reporting, and compliance management for contractors working in Ireland. It also provides the i-Connect Contractors App & Portal, allowing users to manage expenses, timesheets, and contracts 24/7.
According to the available content, Icon offers three options: PAYE Umbrella Company, Director Umbrella Company, and Personal Limited Company. These cover scenarios such as first-time contracting, switching accounting providers, long-term contracting, and UK/EU contractors coming to work in Ireland. Features include invoice management, contractor payroll and tax management, advice on business expense tax relief, tax planning, income tax filing, company formation, and VAT registration. The umbrella company plans also include employer’s liability insurance, public liability insurance, and professional indemnity insurance. On the service side, Icon provides support from a Dedicated Payroll Account Manager and an advisory team.
Its pricing is relatively transparent: PAYE Umbrella Company costs €110/month before tax, Director Umbrella Company costs €155/month before tax, and Personal Limited Company costs €180/month before tax. For the latter, fast company registration costs an additional €249 + VAT. The site emphasizes that umbrella companies have no registration or exit fees, can be used as needed, and are not charged as a percentage of contract income. Some pages show two different after-tax PAYE prices, €52.80 and €57.20, so the actual amount should be confirmed through consultation.
The advantages are its focused service scenarios, clear packages, comprehensive coverage of contractor structures, dedicated payroll manager support, and self-service portal capabilities. It also states that it has 17 years of operation and experience serving 15,000+ contractors. The drawback is that the public materials disclose limited information about its SaaS technical capabilities. Details on APIs, third-party software integrations, permission systems, data security certifications, or compliance certifications were not found.
It is better suited for professional contractors in IT, engineering, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, finance, and similar fields who work in Ireland on a contract basis, as well as recruitment agencies that need to provide compliance support for contractors. If a company is looking for a tax and accounting SaaS that can be deployed globally and deeply integrated, further evaluation is needed.
