Fenero

Introducing Fenero Friday Fix - where we answer your questions about all things tax and accounting for contractors.

One question we hear all the time from first-time contractors is: "Should I choose an Umbrella Company or a Limited Company... and what's the actual difference?"

Here's the lowdown:
An Umbrella Company is the quicker, lower-admin option. It's a great choice if you're new to contracting, on a shorter-term contract, or you'd rather let Fenero take care of payroll, invoicing, tax, and compliance.

A Personal Service Company (PSC), or Limited Company, can be a better fit if you're contracting for the longer term and want more control and flexibility over your finances. It does come with a bit more admin—but don't worry, we'll help you navigate it.

The best option really depends on things like your day rate, contract length, future plans and how hands-on you want to be.

The good news? You don't have to figure it out on your own. We're always happy to talk through your options and help you choose the setup that makes the most sense for you.

Got a question about tax or accounting that you'd like covered in a future Friday Fix? Drop it in the comments below—we're all ears.

Good food and good company ☀️

This week, the Fenero team got together for our annual Summer BBQ — a chance to step away from our spreadsheets, catch up with colleagues, and enjoy time together.

From great food to plenty of laughs, it was a brilliant way to unwind.

Here's a look at some of the highlights.

"Can I claim that?"

It's one of the most common questions we hear from contractors.
In our latest PSC expenses webinar, Sarah and Brenda shared practical guidance on what you can typically claim, which expenses need a closer look, and how good record-keeping makes everything easier.

Good expensing is about confidence - knowing what you can claim, keeping the right records, and staying compliant.

Thanks to everyone who joined us live!

When the Irish sun decides to make an appearance, the last thing you want to be doing is staring at a spreadsheet of expenses.

At Fenero, we take care of your tax compliance, payroll, and accounting, so you can focus on enjoying the summer while it lasts (because we all know it won't be here forever!)

A heartfelt thank you to our Pride Fireside Chat panelists! 🌈

We want to share our deepest gratitude to Said, Marcelo, and Sinead for opening up and sharing their stories with us as part of our Pride Month celebrations. Thank you also to Jennifer Sexton for guiding the discussion so wonderfully.

Hearing your experiences was a powerful reminder of why Pride matters. While this month offers a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, our goal remains constant: creating a safe, inclusive environment for everyone, every single day of the year.

Conversations like this give us all the chance to reflect on how we can show up, listen, and be better allies to our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and friends - not just this month, but consistently.

A few moments from the Dublin Front Runners A.C.

Despite classic Irish summer weather — cold, windy, and cloudy 😉 — the energy from the runners was incredible!

In true Fenero fashion, the team brought enthusiasm and their best moves to the dance warm-up. All the participants did a brilliant job but most importantly, it was fantastic to come together and celebrate inclusivity, diversity, and Pride.

A big thank you to everyone who ran, cheered, volunteered, and helped make the day so welcoming.
