Accountants in West Lothian
Facts & Figures is an ICAEW chartered accountancy practice with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow. We work with businesses and individuals across West Lothian - including Livingston, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Whitburn, and the surrounding area - providing clear, fixed-fee accountancy services that make a genuine difference to how businesses are run.
West Lothian has a strong and varied business community - from trades and construction to professional services and retail - and we're well used to working with businesses at every stage, from new starts to established limited companies looking for a more engaged accountant.
Working with West Lothian clients
Our Edinburgh office on Rutland Street or our Glasgow office outside Queen Street Station is easily accessible from across West Lothian by road or rail, and most of our day-to-day client work happens online — through Xero, email, and video calls. We offer in-person meetings at our Edinburgh office for clients who prefer face-to-face contact, and we're happy to work in whatever way suits you best.
Cloud accounting has genuinely changed what's possible for businesses working with accountants outside their immediate area. Your books are always live and accessible, your accountant can flag issues in real time, and there's no waiting until year end to find out how your business is performing.
What we do
From our offices we provide the full range of accountancy and tax services for individuals and businesses:
Accounts & financial reporting - statutory accounts, management accounts, and financial reporting for limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships
Bookkeeping & cloud accounting - Xero-based bookkeeping and real-time reporting, keeping your finances organised and accessible throughout the year
Self assessment & personal tax - tax returns prepared and filed on your behalf, with proactive planning throughout the year
Corporation tax - CT600 preparation and filing, with year-round tax planning to make sure you're not paying more than you should
Payroll - fully managed payroll for businesses of all sizes, including RTI submissions, auto-enrolment, and P11Ds

Business support - outsourced finance function, cashflow management, credit control, and budgeting for businesses that need more than just compliance
Who we work with in The Lothians
