Sutherland Black Chartered Accountants

About Sutherland Black Chartered Accountants

Established in 2007, this Scottish firm of chartered accountants and chartered tax advisers works from three offices, in Edinburgh, Livingston and Glasgow, while also operating fully remotely for clients elsewhere. Its clients are mainly owner-managed businesses in sectors such as construction, childcare, security and hospitality, with annual turnover between GBP 100,000 and GBP 10 million and payrolls of one to around one hundred people. The practice is a Xero Gold Partner and builds its offer around cloud bookkeeping and monthly fixed fees agreed after a free first meeting. Alongside statutory accounts, tax and VAT, it supports start-ups with structure advice, business plans and company set-up, and handles HMRC enquiries on clients' behalf. The website is in English only and no international client focus is stated; at present it accepts business clients only.
