Lacey Accounting

About Lacey Accounting

Based in Leith, Edinburgh, this family-run practice was set up by Brendan Lacey, a Fellow of ACCA with more than fifteen years in financial services, and works alongside an operations manager and a small support team for bookkeeping and payroll. Its clients are mainly sole traders, partnerships and limited companies in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and elsewhere in Scotland, including architects, cafe owners and taxi drivers. The owner personally handles advisory work and aims to reply to queries within a day, with evening and weekend availability. Beyond routine accounts and tax, the practice can incorporate a limited company, file Companies House documents and provide a UK mail forwarding address for people based overseas. Fixed pricing and a monthly small-business package are advertised. The site gives no indication of a particular focus on foreign clients and is written in English only.

Services include personal self-assessment returns, corporation tax returns, year-end statutory accounts, VAT returns including flat-rate schemes, payroll with RTI and pensions, bookkeeping on cloud software, cash reconciliation and cash-flow reporting.
