George + Co (Scotland) Ltd is an independent firm of Chartered Tax Advisers and Accountants based in Edinburgh's West End. We are a relatively small, but highly experienced team and we pride ourselves that we offer a professional, efficient service in all aspects of Accountancy, at a realistic cost. As the demands of HM Revenue & Customs and Companies House become more stringent, it is imperative that any business, no matter how big or small, is fully aware of its responsibilities. Our main team have been together for over 25 years and offer a consistent service, as much or as little help as you need, and friendly advice.
Services
At George + Co (Scotland) Ltd we deal with a wide and diverse client base, covering the majority of trades and professions, ranging from small sole traders to large limited companies. Our senior accounting team have spent over 50 years in private practice, have extensive experience and provide a professional yet friendly service.
Linda graduated from Edinburgh University in 1983 with a degree in Scots Law, and joined HM Revenue & Customs. She moved into private practice in 1987, working with Lesley and Barbara in our predecessor firms. Linda qualified as a Chartered Tax Adviser in 1990. Lesley started her career in 1982 when she joined HM Revenue & Customs.
George and Co guided us with sound advice and good practices in both financial and accounting matters. We have worked with Linda Leaworthy and her team for 20 years now and have always found the service to be prompt, accurate and responsive particularly when faced with the complexities of two temporary overseas assignments to the US and Germany.

I have used George & Co (Scotland) and their predecessors for over 30 years. Whilst my affairs as a professional construction consultant (in earlier years) and as landlord of several domestic properties in more recent years, I have had the need for sound professional accountancy services over that time. This has been provided in the main by Linda Leaworthy and Lesley Stewart of George & Co (the current company name) also supported by other staff over the three decades involved.
As well as annual tax submissions this included guidance in setting up a small property company (and its very recent dissolution). My experience has been that the services received have been very professional; very efficient and always with the client's needs uppermost in their minds: all in all generally of the highest order.

George & Co are an absolute pleasure to have as our accountants. We approached most Edinburgh based accountants when setting up the business and none were willing or able to invest the time and advice that George & Co did. They have continued to offer excellent advice and guidance as we have grown and make time for their customers. Not only are they excellent accountants but their referrals for business services elsewhere such as legal or insurance companies have been excellent and that is an intrinsic value you will not easily find elsewhere.

George & Co have been our accountants for over 20 years. After two poor experiences with other firms we have always been extremely pleased with the work they have done for us. They handle our payroll, personal and business accounts and deal with all tax matters and file our Returns. They are always available and helpful, happy to answer queries and give advice about dividends and liabilities. We are a small but very busy company and having George & Co there is a little like having an extra staff member to do all the things we do not have time for.
