The accountancy firm of Scott Baird & Co was set up by John Scott-Baird in 1982 in the middle of the last big recession. The prime objective of the firm was then, and still is, to provide the benefit of big business experience to the small and medium size enterprise in a manner and at a time more suited to the needs of the smaller firm. The policy has always been to offer all the particular services required by the smaller business tailored to their particular needs. The practice is very much a family business, John’s wife Jenny having been with him in the business from the start and they have recently been joined by their daughter Máiréad.
We understand the problems of small businesses, often one person operating on their own, and understand the problems that the self employed person has in integrating his business life with family and other demands. Our clients cover a wide range including artisan and small manufacturers, professionals, craftspeople, construction industry contractors and subcontractors, musicians, artists and performers. The particular accounting problems of those in the music industry has become a speciality.
