Chartered Accountants East Lothian
We are Facts & Figures, an independent ICAEW Chartered Accountancy practice with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow. We work with small businesses, sole traders, limited companies, landlords, and partnerships - and we think the relationship between a business owner and their accountant should feel genuinely useful, not just an annual compliance exercise.
A local team that knows the region
There's a real difference between working with an accountant who knows your city and one who doesn't. We understand the business landscape across East Lothian - the industries that dominate, the way the local economy moves, and the specific pressures that come with running a business here. Our Edinburgh and Glasgow teams work closely with clients across the area and we're used to meeting people wherever they are in their business journey.
Whether you're just starting out, growing an established business, or thinking about what the next few years look like, we're the kind of practice that engages with all of that - not just the end of year paperwork.
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
