Why Choose Us?

There are several reasons why you should choose us as your accountants in Scotland. Firstly, we offer reliable and practical advice that is designed to improve profitability, minimize taxes, and free up cash. This means that you can focus on growing your business and achieving your goals without worrying about your finances.

Secondly, we provide fixed-fee pricing that is agreed upon in advance. This ensures that you always know exactly what you will be paying, eliminating the risk of surprise accounting bills. Our clients appreciate the transparency and predictability that this approach provides.

Thirdly, we use the latest cloud accounting technology to streamline your business and free up time for more important tasks. Our team is highly experienced in using Xero and other cutting-edge tools to provide you with up-to-date management information whenever you need it. This enables you to make informed decisions and drive your business forward.

Finally, we offer a more flexible approach to running your business. By providing you with the peace of mind that your finances are in order, you can step away from your business more often and focus on other aspects of your life.

Our Accountancy Services

Our team offers a comprehensive range of accountancy services, including VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll, statutory accounts, corporation tax, and self-assessment. However, we specialize in helping businesses migrate to cloud accounting and automatic processing of large amounts of electronic and paper transactions.

We are one of Xero's Gold Accountants Partners in Scotland, and we have extensive experience in using this software to streamline our clients' businesses. By using Xero along with other cutting-edge tools, we can provide you with real-time management information that will help you make informed decisions and drive your business forward.

In addition to our cloud accounting services, we can also help you with business ratios and KPIs that you should be focusing on to drive your business forward. Our team will work closely with you to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies that will help you achieve your goals.

Tax Services

At Sutherland Black, we are not only Chartered Accountants but also Chartered Tax Advisers. We are members of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS) and have extensive experience in providing tax advice to businesses across Scotland.

We can help you with the best business structure for tax efficiency, tax saving ideas for family businesses, personal tax tips, and any other opportunities that we spot. Our team also has a great R&D tax credit partner firm who can assess your business free of charge to see if there are any opportunities for claiming this generous relief.

We have a long track record of successfully assisting clients with HMRC enquiries, from minor aspect enquiries to COP9 criminal investigations. Our team has had great results for clients, giving them peace of mind by communicating with HMRC on their behalf. Many of the enquiries we have dealt with have resulted in HMRC withdrawing their penalties, and our clients' businesses have gone from strength to strength as a result.
