ACCOUNTANTS – EDINBURGH AND LOTHIANS
We have operated from premises in Bathgate since September 2018 but are now based in Edinburgh (from 1 May 2025) and continue to serve our existing clients by weekly visits to Bathgate and arranging meetings at a central Bathgate location or by meeting at client’s own premises. Clients are also welcome to visit our new premises by appointment.
Chartered Accountants
MacDonald Accountancy Services Limited is a member firm of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW) and the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT). We have a range of expertise and are also able to benefit from the resources of these organisations. ICAEW is an Accountancy Body as is ICAS (Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland). These two organisations can have reciprocal membership and the qualification from each is equally well respected. Both offer extensive resources to support Accountancy firms and both are members of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) which is an important organisation in setting professional standards.
MacDonald Accountancy Services Limited is a member of the ICAEW practice assurance scheme and as such we are bound to act with integrity and in the interests of our clients.
Tax Consultancy
We are able to provide clients with outsourced tax consultancy for any particularly technical tax matters, which gives clients access to the level of tax expertise offered by specialists within larger firms.
About
The Director of the firm has had a range of experience following training in a Big Four Accountancy Firm. She has worked in audit, specialist technical areas such as the Lloyds insurance market and blue chip plcs and held Finance Manager positions in commercial and funded organisations. She also set up and ran her own business successfully - a day nursery - and latterly has had some 12 years experience in professional practice working with small to medium sized businesses and charities prior to setting up MacDonald Accountancy Services Limited.
Over the last few years MacDonald Accountancy Services Limited has worked with clients in the hospitality and beauty sectors and with contractors/sub contractors in the construction industry as well as a variety of other clients in many different business sectors. We file self assessment tax returns for small businesses or Corporate Accounts and tax returns. We assisted clients through Covid and have also been involved in supporting clients with tax investigations and penalty appeals.
We routinely deal with setting up businesses and transitioning between business types and handling VAT registration and returns and payroll and Companies House compliance.
We also deal with landlord property taxes and Capital Gains tax.
We are a training partnership with ICAEW.
We hope to use our experience for the benefit of our clients and their businesses at affordable prices.
If there is an area outside our professional expertise we will be able to contact other specialists on our client's behalf and thereby move matters forward.
Opening Hours
Tues – Friday: 10:00 – 18:00 by appointment only.
(We are open Monday also, but it would be nice to have a day without clients expecting a service!)
We also facilitate conversations via Skype and use a range of cloud based software such that data can be accessed electronically. We also travel frequently to Edinburgh and around West Lothian and to Glasgow and Stirling, so we are able to visit client premises if this is more convenient for you.
