At Martin Aitken & Co, we aid businesses, charities, social enterprises, and individuals in accounting, compliance and strategic financial planning. With more than 125 years of experience, our Glasgow-based team offers comprehensive services including audit, accounting, tax, business advisory, corporate finance, and financial services through Martin Aitken Financial Services Ltd.

Our growth and market position result from both organic expansion and strategic mergers, solidifying our standing as one of Scotland’s largest independent medium-sized firms. A distinctive feature is our Nasdal registered dental team, providing specialised assistance to dental professionals in planning, complying with statutory obligations and enhancing their financial and business performance.

While offering traditional compliance services such as annual accounts and tax returns, we excel in providing advisory solutions. 

For dental practitioners, we offer:

• Customised solutions for new dentists: Tailored accountancy and finance solutions for newly qualified dentists entering independent practice or taking on an associate position.
• Freelance dental care professionals: Guidance on self-employment registration with HM Revenue & Customs, ensuring legal compliance with record-keeping obligations.
• Practice finance: Assistance in securing financing for joining a practice, establishing a new one, or acquiring an existing practice. This includes due diligence, annual accounts preparation, payroll management and compliance fulfillment.
• Tax planning: Implementation of approved tax planning strategies to minimise future tax exposure.
• Succession planning: Comprehensive planning for both entry and exit from a dental practice.
• Financial systems: Sourcing and advising on specialised accounts packages to streamline financial management.
• Superannuation certificates: Assistance in managing superannuation certificates.
• Personal financial management: Guidance on personal finances, optimising savings, ensuring sufficient pension provisions and legacy planning.

For new Dental Associates or those working independently, we offer key financial tips at our stand including:

• Timely self-employment registration with HMRC
• Paying taxes directly to HMRC, saving around 30% of income for taxes, 
• Advice and assistance for tax returns
• Managing business finances with a separate account. 

We will also be offering an exclusive discount for VTs at stand A15.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance, emphasising a partnership with clients to comprehend financial figures, reduce tax liabilities, and achieve enduring financial success.
