Who
Excel Partners is a specialised advisory accountancy firm who strive to achieve the best possible outcome in the most complex financial business problems. There are a lot of accountancy firm that do what we do. They share the same what and how but our partners work with us for our why and our who.
The last thing the world needs is another accountancy practice. Since we started, we’ve always tried to be unique. Whenever a new client comes in, we ask ourselves "why are we uniquely qualified to do this work?’ we always want to be able to answer that question, honestly.
Our Passion
We started with the conviction that accountancy has become mired in cynicism. The psychology behind accountancy is wrong, people are an expense and things are investment, when in truth it's the other way around.
The Father of Accounting, Luca Pacioli, was a collaborator with Leonardo de Vinci. For those of a particular turn of mind, the double-entry system of book-keeping is an art and has a beauty, maybe even divinely inspired. Accountancy is about writing history, Advisory is about improving lives and changing the course of history
We passionately believe that financial security can have a real impact on people health and well-being. Accountancy is a noble profession and that apart from the medical profession, there is no other group making such a big difference to the lives of so many people, and certainly not to their businesses.
Our Vision
We get up every morning to positively impact business and solve problems that how are clients face, so that we all make an even bigger impact together to make small but powerful contribution to our clients lives and their families, our communities and our country and the lives of those less fortunate around the world.
Our Mission
We see a future where we are recognised for delivering not only a truly memorable client service and a service standard so high that it becomes legendary and a benchmark by which our clients measure the performance of others.

Why
A childhood friend of Seán had a deep traumatic financial experience with a financial institution in the 1980’s and this had a deep personal impact on Seán wanting to become an accountant. While financial security is not the important thing in life, not having it is. We deeply care about our client’s financial security and we treat every problem as if it is our own.
We are here to facilitate people achieve extraordinary results so that they may do the same for others. We are passionate about driving growth and development and in assisting others to do the same.
Accountants are uniquely placed to shape the business world. When engaged correctly, the skills, knowledge and influence possessed by accountants is instrumental in the success and failure of every single business in the world. We believe that by facilitating clients in achieving extraordinary results even in mundane, technical areas, we are giving them the space and time they need to facilitate extraordinary results and thus, making the world a better place.
So when you engage with us across any of our services, no matter how small or big, we passionately do believe that together we can change the world.

Partners We view our client as our partners and we measure our success by yours. For us, clients are the heart of our business and we involve clients at every stage as partners.
Delivered We are not just stereotypical accountants, we are problem solvers and where others see problems, we see opportunities. We have a reputation for creating powerful innovative solutions to complex problems. We once advised a client to undertake a lie-detector test to prove innocence in a complex business issue.
Differently Excel Partners are different. Our approach is different, but proven. We get results, it is a difference that matters. Accounting has changed and not all accountants are the same.
When
When you need us, we are here.
Because we exist in this fast paced real time world, many feel we need to respond to everything in real time. Some of the biggest mistakes made are because we reacted too quickly to something. Learning to slow down or even ignore certain things is a really important skill. There are times when responding quickly and decisively is important, but in general, slowing down is a good thing.
We are aware that clients and businesses are not been serviced adequately in terms of responsiveness to communication and broken promises.
We understand that if clients themselves are working, it can be difficult to contact their accountant during their own working day and therefore we have extended working hours from 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday.
