A sense of freedom
So that you can feel free from the burden of day-to-day finance concerns and feel less isolated in decision-making
RURAL FAMILY BUSINESS ACCOUNTANTS
Hands-on, responsive and proactive accountancy and tax advice
We support farmers and rural businesses in Aberdeenshire, Morayshire and beyond with consistent, tailored advice for confident future business planning.
We are North East Scotland’s rural family business accountant
Established in 2020 and now trusted by 500+ clients (from sole traders to partnerships, and limited companies), we work with a wide range of businesses, including farming families, the motor trade, beauty, construction, equipment hire, forestry, and property rental.
SUPPORT THAT HELPS YOUR BUSINESS THRIVE
Not your typical transactional accountants
We believe you shouldn’t feel like you’re in the dark about how much tax you need to pay, how to manage or save tax, or be unsure about what you can (or when you should) spend money on the business.
So filing of accounts and helping with tax returns is, of course, the compliance part of what we do. But it’s one small part of the overall support.
We go a step further (and often a step further beyond that). What you get with McKilligan Financial is a lasting, supportive partnership that helps your business not only grow, but thrive.
Accountancy, Tax, And Business Planning Services
We’re the ‘someone’ you can turn to for business advice
It’s honest, plain talking advice, that’s never reactionary, and gives you:
Complete clarity
So you’ll never again stress about cash flow or how much tax you need to pay
Business confidence
So you can have clarity in your long-term business planning (particularly if there are dreams about diversification) without the doubt or guesswork
Protection
So that you feel worry-free about succession planning and your business feels secure for the future
Specialist Accountants For Rural Family Businesses
We understand your unique challenges and offer tailored support
As accountants and tax specialists who really understand rural businesses (and run them ourselves), we say it like it is. We understand the seasonal nature of running a rural business and we ‘get’ the pressures of multi-generational businesses.
So if giving our best advice means asking the challenging questions, we do. And taking time to unpick and offer unique solutions? That’s what it’s all about for us too.
A team of chartered accountants in North East Scotland
Founded by Elaine McKilligan, and based near Banff in Aberdeenshire, the McKilligan Financial team comprises farmers and plain-talking accounts and tax specialists genuinely invested in your business.
