Professional accounting
with a personal touch
taking the stress out of numbers
Having graduated from University in Edinburgh, I joined a firm of Chartered Accountants in Stockbridge, where I carried out my training. I was admitted into ICAS (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland) as a Chartered Accountant in 2000. My time spent in private practice along with Financial Accountant for the family construction company, is where I found my passion for looking after the owner managed business; offering the support needed to take the stress out of numbers and allowing the business owners to do what they do best.
My Services
Accounting
The year end accounts provide invaluable information about your business. For sole traders and partnerships, year-end accounts form the basis of the business owners’ self-assessment tax return. In addition to year end accounts, I offer comprehensive monthly or quarterly management accounting services. My services also cover period-end adjustments and detailed commentary on the results. I can perform these services remotely using your cloud-based software or from whatever bookkeeping records you have – be it manual cash book, spreadsheets, or a bag of receipts. Having year end accounts brings you closer to your business and will help drive success.
Bookkeeping
You may feel like you to want to take on all things business related, however engaging a bookkeeper can save time and money in the long run. I can offer bookkeeping services to best suit your business – including setting up the latest cloud software and apps or designing a spreadsheet which works best for your business. Additionally, I offer cash flow forecasting as an optional service that can be provided either as part of our bookkeeping services or as a standalone service.
