Member Spotlight Series – CA Partners

CA Partners is an independent firm of capital allowances specialists. This niche area is outside the scope of traditional accounting and their team is uniquely made up of dual-qualified tax advisers and chartered surveyors.

This unique skillset enables them to identify hidden tax reliefs for businesses and property investors who spend money on property. The capital allowances claims they identify generate significant cashflow that would not otherwise be identified.

The firm is led by Managing Director Philip O’Connor, who has over 20 years of experience specialising in property tax reliefs. Prior to setting up CA Partners nearly 5 years ago, he led the capital allowances team at a Big 4 accounting firm in Dublin.

Using a combination of tax and surveying expertise, CA Partners help businesses and property investors turn some of their property expenditure into tax relief, releasing valuable cash for reinvestment in their business.

The following property expenditure is relevant:

  • Property purchases
  • Developments
  • Refurbishments & fit-outs

Capital allowances advisory requires specialist knowledge that is outside the scope of traditional tax or accounting advice.
The team at CA Partners has over 45 years of combined experience. This, together with their dual qualifications ensures expertise in both complex capital allowances tax legislation and in construction and property.

This enables them to:

  • Identify hidden tax reliefs, turning them into real cash flow for clients
  • Prepare detailed, tax compliant capital allowances claims
  • Manage claims from entitlement to final agreement

The Benefits of Working with CA Partners

  • Full Revenue compliance
  • Reduced tax liability = real cash savings
  • Potential repayment of tax already paid
  • Specialist advice you can trust

With CA Partners, clients gain a trusted partner focused on maximising returns while ensuring peace of mind through expert tax compliant advice.

Since the beginning, we have been serious about achieving quality in every aspect of our work, which is clearly reflected in our portfolio of residential and commercial projects.

We’re also deeply committed to sustainability. From selecting eco-friendly materials to incorporating energy-efficient technologies like LED lighting and smart insulation, we ensure that every home we create is as kind to the planet as it is to its inhabitants.

Feng Shui principles and biophilic design are key elements in our approach, creating spaces that feel balanced and connected to nature. We also prioritise working with local tradespeople and artisans to support the community and bring an authentic touch to each project.
