We've never believed that number-crunching is the whole job. Client empathy is everything, and we've built 25 years of practice around that idea.
An Edinburgh and Leith firm specialising in small and medium-sized businesses. Twenty-five years in, 2,500 clients, 250 payrolls, and the same personal service throughout.
Modern tools, traditional values. A firm people trust and recommend.
Before we look at a single figure, we listen. Understanding your situation, your goals, your worries, your business, is where the real work begins.
Fees are agreed at the outset and we honour them, even if the job takes longer than expected. No surprises, no hidden extras.
Each office has a dedicated team who work with the same clients year after year. The knowledge and rapport builds and compounds over time.
A quick call, a drop-in, an email, however you prefer to communicate, you'll always reach someone who knows you and your situation.
Experienced professionals alongside sharp young trainees, all working to the same standard. Fresh thinking backed by real depth in the field.
Most of our clients come through recommendation. We take that as the strongest possible measure of the work we do and the way we do it.
Hopefully because we are different enough to make a real difference to you. Here's what we always try to do.
So in short, we will be there for you when you need us to be.
With 3 directors, 2 consultants and 10 staff across our two offices, we're a small enough team to know every client and a strong enough one to look after all of them properly. When you call, you reach a person. The right person. The one dealing with your case.
