We have been working with Martin Aitken for a number of decades now as our chartered accountants as well as business advisors and personal financial planning.

They have proved over the years that the team they have built has an excellent knowledge and experience around accounting practices, taxes and general business guidance as well as being extremely friendly and welcoming with their clients.

A particular highlight was the support they provided when we acquired a new business, their expertise really streamlined the process.

Martin Aitken was recommended by many other dental colleagues for their excellent standard of service.

I was purchasing my own dental practice (whilst having a very young family) and was doubting my ability because of my circumstances. The dental team were so encouraging, enthusiastic and filled me with confidence.

Martin Aitken are reliable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

I can't recommend Martin Aitken enough and trust them implicitly with all my tax affairs.

Jacqui and the team provide an efficient, reliable service delivering our payroll needs, allowing me to focus my time on other areas of my business.

The best endorsement I can give is that I rarely hear anything about payroll - no news is good news when it comes to this critical function.

The team proactively addresses any questions I have in a timely, no-fuss manner. I would readily recommend Martin Aitken for hassle-free, peace-of-mind service.
