Accountants in East Lothian
Facts & Figures is an ICAEW chartered accountancy practice with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow. We work with businesses and individuals across East Lothian - including Musselburgh, Haddington, North Berwick, Dunbar, and Tranent - offering clear, fixed-fee accountancy services designed around the needs of small businesses and their owners.
East Lothian has a distinctive and growing business community - from agricultural and rural businesses to coastal hospitality, trades, and professional services - and we're experienced in working with businesses that don't always fit the typical city-centre mould.
Working with East Lothian clients
Our Edinburgh office on Rutland Street is easily accessible from across East Lothian, and the majority of our day-to-day client work is handled online - through Xero, email, and video calls. We offer in-person meetings at our Edinburgh office for clients who value face-to-face contact, and we work in whatever way is most practical for you.
For East Lothian businesses, working with an Edinburgh-based accountant means having access to a qualified, regulated practice without the premium fees that city-centre firms sometimes charge local clients. We bring the same level of service to every client, wherever they're based.
