HMRC-registered accountants serving Aberdeen City Centre AB10 and AB11 online. Oil and gas supply chain contractors, energy transition businesses, Union Square concession holders, Granite City hospitality and the diverse SME community. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Aberdeen City Centre has one of the UK's most distinctive energy-economy business communities. AB10 and AB11 cover the central commercial district, the substantial Union Street and Union Square retail destinations, the long-running oil and gas supply chain that anchors the regional economy (BP, Shell, TotalEnergies and many smaller specialist engineering and services tenants), the rapidly-growing energy transition sector (offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture) supporting a major shift in the regional economy, the substantial Robert Gordon University and University of Aberdeen presences driving an academic and student community, the substantial Aberdeen Harbour driving freight and offshore trade, the Granite City heritage architecture supporting some tourism trade, and a wider city centre community shaped equally by Aberdeen's status as the European energy capital and its modern reinvention around energy transition.
That density gives Aberdeen a particular accounting profile. Oil and gas supply chain contractors working through Limited Companies need IR35-aware structures (most major operators determine IR35 status formally) and proper handling of multi-currency invoicing in USD. Energy transition businesses often need investor-ready structures and R&D tax credit work for genuine technical development. Union Square concession holders need specific landlord turnover reporting. Scottish-resident clients have Scottish income tax rates to apply (set by the Scottish Parliament, currently with more bands than rest-of-UK including a 19 per cent starter rate, 20 per cent basic, 21 per cent intermediate, 42 per cent higher, 45 per cent advanced and 48 per cent top rate, while dividend tax remains at UK rates). Property transactions in Scotland use Land and Buildings Transaction Tax rather than SDLT.

Client G is a senior subsea engineering consultant based in Aberdeen, working through his own Limited Company on long-term engagements with a major oil and gas operator plus a North Sea offshore wind developer. When he came to us his IR35 position had not been reviewed since the off-payroll rules changed, his previous accountant had continued operating the company without distinguishing the engagements, his USD invoicing was being handled inconsistently for VAT and FX purposes, and his pension contributions through the company were minimal despite substantial scope.
We audited each engagement for IR35 status (the oil and gas operator had moved him inside IR35 following a proper SDS, but the offshore wind engagement was genuinely outside), restructured the Limited Company to handle the two income streams cleanly with proper FX handling on the USD invoices, set up substantial employer pension contributions through the company on the outside-IR35 income using carry-forward from the previous three tax years, and addressed the historic position with HMRC.
Year one outcome: a defensible HMRC position on both engagements, annual tax saving of around £7,800 from cleaner structuring, a one-off catch-up pension contribution capturing Corporation Tax relief at 25 per cent, and proper FX handling that means his USD invoices flow cleanly through the books.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Aberdeen city centre business, whether you're an oil and gas contractor, an energy transition founder or a Union Square concession.
