Sinclair Scott merges Ayrshire’s oldest and youngest chartered accountancy firms

A BRAND new Ayr-based accountancy practice has been formed this month by a merger between the two well-known firms Alfred T. Scott and Sinclair Maclean.

The new merged firm will be known as Sinclair Scott, Chartered Accountants and will operate from recently refurbished and expanded premises at 3 Wellington Square, Ayr.

The partners in Sinclair Scott are Catriona Maclean, David Quayle, Andrew Sinclair and Stephen Wilkie.

Alfred T Scott & Co was the oldest firm of Chartered Accountants in Ayr, having been in existence for over 100 years, whilst Sinclair Maclean was the youngest, having been formed less than 7 years ago.

Sinclair Scott Chartered Accountants employ 20 people, and is one of the biggest accountancy firms in Ayr.

Partner Andrew Sinclair said: "We have effected this merger in order to bring together the talents of two growing firms and provide the synergy to take them on to a new level.

"We are committed to providing excellent advice and first class service to our business and personal clients alike.

"We have many clients in the local community, and service businesses small and large across many sectors - including agriculture, the professions, the service sector, the construction industry, manufacturers and retailers.

"As well as general accountancy, audit and tax skills, our 4 partners also have individual specialist skills which enables us to provide clients with a first class individual service as and when required.

"With our wealth of experience we pride ourselves on delivering an unparalleled service to all clients, what ever their size or sector.

"In addition to traditional auditing, accounting and tax services we also provide advice on how to improve and develop your business.

"Whether you need an integrated business strategy, access to corporate finance or specialist tax advice we are here to help you achieve your goals."
