Local, but not limited.
I’m Jose, an AAT licensed accountant and Xero certified advisor based in Edinburgh. Running a business is hard enough without worrying about your books, so I take the financial admin off your plate.
Your numbers stay accurate, your filings go in on time, and you always know where you stand. Everything runs in Xero, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re in Leith, Inverness or Leeds: it’s all online, secure and there whenever you need it.
And when you have a question, you call me. Not a call centre, not a junior. Just me.

Making Tax Digital has started. Is your business ready?
If you’re a sole trader or landlord with income over £50,000, you now need to send HMRC quarterly updates from compatible software, five filings a year instead of one. The threshold drops each April, so most small businesses will be affected soon. I can handle the whole thing.
