Bond CA

About Bond CA

Run as a family-managed partnership of Chartered Accountants, this Edinburgh practice has been operating for more than a quarter of a century from an office in Leith. Its clients are mainly in Edinburgh and Glasgow, but the firm states it also acts for customers elsewhere in the United Kingdom, in Europe and further afield, supported by cloud accounting tools. The client mix includes private individuals paying personal tax, sole traders, partnerships and owner-managed limited companies in fields such as healthcare, entertainment, hospitality, recruitment, retail and professional consulting. Clients typically deal directly with the partners in a small-firm setting. The practice is registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland for accountancy and anti-money-laundering supervision. New ventures can use a start-up package that covers choosing a structure, business plans, funding introductions and registrations. Fees are fixed, variable or a combination, with flexible payment plans, and an initial consultation is offered without charge. Only English is mentioned and no overseas offices are listed.

Services

Services cover bookkeeping, annual accounts and management accounts, tax compliance and planning, self assessment returns, VAT registration, returns and health checks, and payroll with statutory forms. Start-up support helps choose between sole trader, partnership or company, prepares forecasts, arranges funding discussions, completes Companies House and HMRC registrations and handles company secretarial matters. The firm also provides cloud accounting through Xero and QuickBooks, cash flow forecasting, business planning and an outsourced financial director or finance department.
