ACCOUNTANTS IN ABERDEEN
Accountants in Aberdeen
who treat your business
like their own
That is not a line, it is how we work. You get the expertise and rigour the biggest firms are known for, with the care and attention only a local team can give - all for one fair, fixed fee that is a fraction of what you would expect to pay.
Real people who know your name and your numbers - who pick up the phone, plan ahead, and treat your business as if it were our own.
Fixed monthly fees, agreed up front - no obligation either way.
We know your sector
We work every day with the sectors that drive the North-East - so nothing about your numbers, your margins or your tax is new to us, and the advice you get is grounded in how your industry actually works.
Energy and oil-and-gas contractors
Contractors and service firms across the energy corridor - day rates, IR35 and profit extraction, planned properly.
Trades and construction (CIS)
Building and trade firms - CIS deductions, verification and refunds handled every month.
Hospitality and leisure
Hotels, bars and tourism - tight margins and seasonal cashflow, reported in time to act on.
Healthcare, dental and pharmacy
Practices, pharmacies and associates - NHS and private income, superannuation and profit extraction.
Professional and family firms
Owner-managed and family firms that want an accountant thinking a year ahead.
Online sellers and e-commerce
Shopify and Amazon sellers - payouts, stock and cross-border VAT turned into profit per channel.
A clear step above,
for a fraction of the cost
You should not have to choose between a big-firm standard and a local team that actually cares. Here you get both - the calibre the biggest names are known for, delivered by people who know your business by name, for one fair fixed fee that is a fraction of what you would expect. More expertise, more care, more included, far less cost.
We treat it like our own
We take the time to know you and your business, then look after it with the same care we would our own. Advice built around you, never off a template.
We do it all for you
No wrestling with accounting software, no bookkeeping stacking up on your desk. There is a full team behind you, so it is all handled end to end and done right - however much there is - and you get your hours, and your headspace, back.
We actually reply
Ask a question and you hear back quickly, from someone who already knows your business. No being passed around, no waiting days for an answer.
We make your numbers make sense
We tell you what your numbers actually mean and what to do next, without the jargon - clear enough to make confident decisions.
We plan ahead, all year
Not a once-a-year tax return. We keep an eye on your numbers through the year, so there are no nasty surprises and you always know what is coming - which matters more than ever in a tighter market.
Top-firm standard, on your doorstep
The rigour you would expect from the biggest names, run by people who trained in corporate finance and top-tier audit - and you can still sit across the table on Union Street.
Fixed fees, no surprises
One fair fixed fee, agreed up front. A quick question never lands on your next bill, so you never have to think twice about picking up the phone.

Built for owners who want it
done properly
We do our best work for established, owner-managed businesses that want a proactive accountant, not just a filing service. In fairness to you, here is who we suit - and who we honestly do not.
-
Established service or consulting businesses (typically £500k-£5m turnover).
-
Owners looking to scale, exit, or step back from day-to-day operations.
-
You value strategic advice over just getting the cheapest tax return filed.
-
You are willing to use modern cloud software (Xero) to stay organised.
-
You appreciate responsiveness and want a partner, not a transaction.
-
Startups pre-revenue or sole traders looking for basic year-end compliance only.
-
Retail, hospitality, or heavy manufacturing businesses (we stick to our niche).
-
You see accounting strictly as a necessary evil to minimize at all costs.
Everything, handled
One firm for the compliance and the thinking behind it - all from people who already know your business.
Company accounts and Corporation Tax
Year-end accounts and CT600, filed on time with every relief claimed.
VAT and bookkeeping
MTD bookkeeping in Xero or QuickBooks, every VAT return reviewed before filing.
Management accounts and advisory
Profit, margin and cashflow in plain terms - figures you can actually steer by.
Self assessment
Director and personal returns - dividends and deadlines handled, no January surprises.
Payroll and CIS
Staff, directors and subcontractors paid right - PAYE, pensions and CIS each month.
Tax planning and structure
Remuneration, structure and timing planned so you keep more, within the rules.
I oversee the standard on every client engagement myself. When something carries our name, it has to be right – and it has to be useful to you.
