It’s nice to be appreciated. We beaver away in our offices doing what we can to help our clients overcome at least some of the trials of everyday life. For us, it’s what we do. But it is nice to be reminded every now and again, that what we do impacts the lives of real …
If you have ever been in our Cathedral office in Elgin, then you know we have two well established pots of green leaved plants. They don’t look as though they should be anything other than big pots of long thin green leaves. But, as we work our way through January, one of these plants put …

Another Monday. Another cake. This is a good time of year to be visiting our office in Kirkwall, especially on a Monday. This time it was Sandra’s turn with her Apple Sandwich Cake with Lemon Curd Cream. You’ll have to take my word for it that it was very nice.
Monday is a good time to be in our Kirkwall office. It is baking day. For the past couple of months, they take it in turn to bake whatever was first up on Bake Off the previous week. This is Marian’s Charlotte cake. I can tell you that it tasted every bit as good as …
This is the time of year when we start to look into the abyss that can be the run up to the self-assessment filing deadline of 31 January 2023. It is arguably our busiest period. Ahead of the onslaught, some of our staff in Inverness decided that this would be a good time to let …
