Taxlab is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants and tax advisers with offices in Bathgate, West Lothian and Aberdeen. We help small businesses, sole traders, landlords and limited companies across Scotland and the UK with year end accounts, tax returns, VAT, payroll and cloud accounting, using technology to make your finances simpler, faster and more useful.
To make our clients’ business processes more efficient and empower them to excel in business and personal life.
Our mission
An accountancy firm for the digital age
We provide everything you would expect from your accountant, including year end accounts, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT returns, payroll and Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) returns.
What sets us apart is how we work. We move our clients onto cloud accounting software such as Xero and FreeAgent, connect their bank feeds and capture receipts digitally with Dext. Your records stay up to date, you are ready for Making Tax Digital, and you can see how your business is performing at any time.
We then use that information to help you grow. We look at your personal and business goals, review how your business runs, and recommend and put in place practical improvements, then track your progress with you. Because what you can measure, you can manage.
Where we work
Our offices are in Bathgate, West Lothian and Aberdeen. We work with businesses in West Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and, thanks to cloud accounting, with clients throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Why did you get into business?
You had plenty of reasons for starting your business, but paperwork and financial admin were probably not among them. Running a small business means juggling many priorities. Hand your bookkeeping, tax and compliance to us, and spend your time on your customers and the work you love.
What is your time worth?
Because technology is at the heart of what we do, we deliver your year end accounts, statutory returns, bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, monthly reporting, payroll and VAT returns as efficiently as possible.
We also advise on how to improve your processes, grow your business and pay no more tax than you need to, giving you finance director level support for a fraction of the cost of employing a full-time finance professional.
Why Taxlab?
Taxlab was formed to challenge the status quo. We believe small businesses should embrace technology to become more competitive, and that accountants should be proactive and approachable. Charging by the hour for every minute spent on a client’s affairs is a broken model, so we agree fees in advance. We are driven by a desire to serve our clients and to give back to society.
