Client Testimonials

"I have been a client of FBD Consultancy for over 15 years. Brian, Paula, and the team are consummate professionals who truly know their craft. They have provided me with invaluable financial advice that has been critical to the success of my business. Not only are they knowledgeable and experienced, but always extremely responsive and take the time to answer my questions in a way that is easy for me to understand.

FBD have always gone above and beyond to ensure that my business finances were in order and to ensure that I was compliant with all tax laws and regulations. Their professionalism and attention to detail gives me confidence in their ability to handle my financial affairs and I trust them completely.

Overall, I cannot recommend FBD Consultancy highly enough. Brian is an outstanding accountant who is dedicated to his clients' success. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy accountant, look no further."

Ms R Campbell, Property Investor, Glasgow

"Well, I honestly wouldn’t know where to start to write something. I feel quite emotional and grateful that I work with you. I think that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here now. You have helped more than you will ever know. During lockdown you were all there for the business and helped me make decisions that I wouldn’t have known how to make. You have been at my ‘beck and call’ since we started working together, going over and above all my expectations.

Massive thank you again."

Louisa Clements Professional Haircare

"After some serious struggles with our bookkeeper, FBD Consultancy was highly recommended to us. After our first initial call with Brian, we knew that this firm was exactly who we needed to help us move forward as a business. Brian and his team, from the very first phone call, have made this hassle free and with zero complaints. Nothing is an issue and the whole team always go above and beyond to take care of us as a client. With a massive range of services to help our business and a huge range of knowledge in each of these departments we will be using FBD Consultancy as long as we run as a business."

"Both diligent and conscientious in their approach, providing timely assistance throughout all aspects of accountancy, I'd highly recommend FBD to assist and enable your business growth."

Brett Clark, Senior Project Engineer, Property Investor & Roofing Contractor

"We have been clients of FBD Consultancy for many years now.

We had a meeting with Brian and Paula last week which was very inspirational. We left confident in the knowledge that they had and always will have our best interests at heart.

They are professional, honest, approachable and very knowledgeable in their chosen field. Continously demonstrating that they are true to their core values.

We are very lucky to have such expertise in our team.

Thank you FBD."

Rodina Campbell and Barry Ainsworth

"I would like to say a big thank you to FBD Consultancy, Business Growth Specialists and Chartered Accountants. Since engaging them for assistance with our accounts and tax matters, and advice on business growth, I have noticed an enormous difference in the guidance and advice we have received. I now have much more understanding of our accounts, what to look for, and the tax we have to pay. I feel very comfortable to approach everyone in the FBD Team for advice, which always proves to be sound.

Our meetings are not just about numbers. We cover all aspects of the business, including legal issues, staff issues, marketing issues and even motivation and entrepreneurial skills. This gives me an action plan and total peace of mind and lets me know our business is in safe hands. The FBD Team has always gone to great lengths to ensure they understand how our business works and the nature of the industry we are in. They understand we offer a high quality service and sell products on the back of this level of service. They even look for opportunities to promote our business to others and to involve me in events that they run.

In addition, their approach is to look after both the business and me as a director and business owner, because they know that often personal issues and personal finances have an impact on business issues and business finance and vice versa.

I would be very happy to recommend FBD to anyone wishing to grow their business, especially anyone in the health and beauty industry, because they really know what they are doing and they really make a difference."

Kim Cramond - Director - Mandarin Hair & Beauty Ltd

"Right from the start of our relationship with FBD we feel the support has been incredible. It is impossible to overestimate the value added and the peace of mind brought about by having the FBD Team at the other end of the phone to advise us on accounts, tax and other financial matters.

Because your advice is available both within and outside of business hours we have been able to run our business without worrying about getting hold of FBD when we have needed you the most, and when we have acted on the advice you provided it has proven successful and of benefit to us every time.

FBD has helped us through challenging times. The advice is always sound and given with our best interests at heart. Where else could we have gone to get this level of support?

If you are looking to grow your business, improve your processes, sort out your thinking or just develop a solid business we would recommend FBD without any reservations.

Without your support our business would not be here now.

May you go from strength to strength!"

Fraser & Isobel - Abbotsford Lodge - Callander Guest House

All of the team have been fantastic to work with whenever and whatever issues have arisen in my business and I am confident that they have my best interests at heart at all times.

"Brian works with a deep sense of integrity at all times. He is an expert in his field with a very good team and highly successful business.

Systems Consultant at Matheson & Horan Associates Ltd (MHA Ltd) & Secretary West Lothian Branch at Federation of Small Businesses

"As a Club managing an agenda for change unprecedented in its history, we were looking for accountants who were willing to do more than just produce numbers for our year end accounts. We wanted an accountant who actually took an interest in what we are trying to achieve, who would listen to us and whom we could relate to ...someone who would take the time to explain things to us, advise us in simple terms and help us move forward positively.

From day one we have been impressed with the enthusiasm and support that FBD Consultancy, Accounts & Tax Ltd Ltd has provided. Their advice/ assistance has already proved invaluable in the successful negotiation of a significant re-structure of the Club’s operations.

We are now looking forward to developing and growing the Club. We are confident that FBD are the right people to assist us in that process."

Pat O’Hara, Palacerigg Golf Club

Thank you for delivering such an informative presentation to the delegate attending the inaugural Oatridge Conference on Thursday. Everyone associated with the organisation of the event is extremely grateful to you for so generously giving up your time which, I know, is in great demand.

Having your presence at the Conference gave the programme great appeal to potential delegate and provided us with the marketing opportunities to get the event off the ground. Thank you for helping to make that possible, Initial feedback for delegate and all those supporting the event has been positive but your presentation in particular has drawn very favourable comments not only because you made the content so relevant and accessible to the audience but also because your style of delivery was of such high standard. These were some of the comments received from delegates:

"Very motivational"

Enjoyable, fun and informative"

"Fantastic!"

We hope you enjoyed your involvement in the Oatridge Conference, that it may generate business for FBD Consultancy, Accounts & Tax Ltd and that we can perhaps welcome you back some time in the future.

Thank you once again and best wishes for the Festive Season.

Yours sincerely

Martin Dare Organiser.
