Amber Accounting

We have been really pleased with how comprehensive the support from the team at Amber has been since we outsourced our payroll to them. They are very responsive to queries and nothing is ever too much hassle.

Annie Fleming
Chief Financial Officer,

I would highly recommend Amber Accounting Services for busy business owners looking for extra support with PAYE, Payroll and HR. They have a friendly efficient team, always prepared to provide just the right amount of help. Their input has freed up valuable time, allowing me to concentrate on growing my business.

Lynne, Cheryl and the rest of the Amber team provide a fantastic support service for both book keeping and payroll. They respond promptly to all enquiries and are great at explaining each point. It’s a really nice personal service which makes a nice change in these days of impersonal call centre based help lines. You feel they are a part of the team and build a good relationship. I would be happy to recommend Amber Services.

Having used both EQ and Amber for many years we find their services invaluable. Laura and her team at Amber are highly proficient and extremely approachable. With their guidance and training we successfully and seamlessly transferred from Sage to Xero, allowing us more time to dedicate and concentrate on running our business. We highly recommend their services.

Amber Payroll have provided payroll cover to us for many years now. They provide an outstanding service and have a high degree of knowledge and expertise.

Karen Harris
Blueprint Recruitment Ltd

We have used Amber Accounting for all aspects of our Payroll for several years now, having previously used a company down south. Our Amber accounting manager is very efficient and the team are always quick to respond if we have any queries. They helped us set up our Workplace Pension Scheme and what was a daunting task seemed easier with their assistance.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Amber to any future potential clients.

Julie Philip
Superfine Manufacturing Ltd

Amber Accounting Services has been providing payroll and bookkeeping services to our charity for a few years. After an organisational-wide audit, we discovered discrepancies in our pension arrangements. We approached Amber Accounting Services to assist us in addressing the identified issues. They were very prompt to provide support, while offering discretion, advice, and guidance throughout the process. Within less than two months, the identified issues were addressed with relevant bodies notified and content with our approach and its outcome. Amber Accounting Services is more than just a reliable payroll and bookkeeping provider, it’s an organisation you can put your trust in.

The Xero package is ideal for small businesses and charities with little in-house knowledge of bookeeping and/or accounting proceedures. With excellent training and back-up from Amber Accounting Services, we were quickly able to throw away the old Excel spreadsheets upon which we had relied for too long. Not only are accounting entries simple to make and reconcile, but the on-line nature of the system enables anyone authorised to access the package to do so whenever they wish to, and from wherever they may be. This is a big plus for us and enables management to keep a remote eye on things and download reports whenever needed. The additional benefit is that year end information is presented to our accountants, EQ, in a form which simplifies their year-end work and reduces overall cost.

Our transition from in house to outsourced payroll with the Amber team has been seamless. Our main point of contact Chloe has communicated brilliantly throughout and supported us through the process ensuring that both our weekly and monthly payroll deadlines are met. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Amber team as I can rely on them to deliver whilst focusing my time on other matters.

Matthew Lowson
Ramsay & Sons (Forfar) Ltd

As a busy Nursery School owner, I have used Amber for both monthly wages (and all that goes with it) and business accounts for over a year.

I have always found both the service and the staff I am dealing with to be efficient, helpful and friendly. There has never been a problem to discuss / explain any concerns / queries I may have, which is so important in any relationship.

I am very pleased I made the decision to change to Amber and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Lorna Rasche

We own a limited company and a partnership, both with a growing employee base. Amber have been invaluable in navigating PAYE, pension contributions and maternity payments. They are very helpful with all our varied queries and always respond quickly. Every month they make sure we have a clear and concise payroll and provide us with reports with care and attention to detail, ensuring we can run professional and organised businesses.

We have used Amber for payroll and P11d services since 2017 and are very happy with the level of service they provide.

We would very happily recommend Laura and the Amber team.

Having taken responsibility for running my own business in 2012, their combined advice has been invaluable as part of the process.

Robin Matthew
Director, PPCA Ltd

Due to running a number of compact but diverse businesses, one's time can be spread too thinly. Amber's involvement has ensured this does not happen in relation to all financial work; including VAT/PAYE/annual accounts. I can therefore focus on managing and developing the businesses and the projects they deliver.

Derek Souter
Director, DJS Creative Marketing Ltd

We outsourced our Payroll to Amber Accounting Services almost 4 years ago and have never looked back. They provide a prompt, accurate and professional service and relieve us of the burden of staying up-to-date with ever changing Payroll legislation. I particularly appreciate having a single contact that I can contact if I have any queries and she knows our business well enough to offer much appreciated, tailored advice as required.

Vicki Anderson
Finance Director, Avian/Blue2

EQ and Amber took the time to get to know and understand how my business operates. They now deal with most of my accountancy needs, which allows me to focus on the daily running of my business. They are highly approachable, any queries I have are met with timely solutions. I couldn’t rate the professionalism highly enough and would recommend them for anyone looking for the complete package.

Claire Bridges
Owner, Ballinluig Services

We have used both EQ Accountants and Amber Accounting for many years. The staff are all approachable and very helpful and offer an excellent service. We have recently transferred our accounting over from SAGE to XERO and the whole transition was smooth and seamless. The training offered on the new XERO package was excellent and was delivered in straightforward, simple terms. We would highly recommend both EQ Accountants and Amber Accounting.

Graeme Jarron
Director, Ogilvy Spirits

We changed to Amber a year or so ago for our payroll requirements, the team have been friendly and approachable throughout the process, and very quick to reply to any queries we had in the transfer process. We can’t fault the ongoing support we receive from Amber, having your own designated contact makes life a lot easier as they get to know your business and your requirements, so you don’t need to explain everything each time you make contact with them. Would highly recommend the Amber team for your payroll needs.

Having outsourced our payroll for many years the task of transferring to a new provider in early 2020 seemed daunting, but it was seamless and effective. Amber offers a professional, friendly service, ensuring deadlines are met as well as offering clear and concise advice when needed. A key point for me is having a dedicated point of contact, who quickly understands the needs of your business, this continuity is vital. The service is of a constantly high standard, I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
