Capital Accountants & Advisors

About Capital Accountants & Advisors

Working out of Leith Walk in Edinburgh, this chartered accountancy practice looks after small businesses in Scotland and, thanks to cloud software, in other parts of the UK. It also has locations in the Glasgow area and in London, and each office is described as operating independently under its own partners. Clients are assigned a single dedicated accountant and are kept informed of filing deadlines. The firm positions itself around tax, accounting and business advisory work, with support for start-ups, growth planning and exit strategies. It describes company formation as part of its offer, with tax registrations handled as part of the set-up. Specialist tax work includes research and development claims and inheritance tax reviews. The firm works with Xero, FreeAgent and QuickBooks and helps businesses move across from spreadsheets or other packages. The website is English only and does not describe any specific focus on overseas or non-resident clients.
