Why Choose PBAS?
Daily reviews. We review your data daily to ensure it is updated and accurate — not just at month end or year end. This means you always have a clear, up-to-date picture of your finances.
Personal service. You won’t be passed between departments or deal with a different person every time you call. At PBAS you get direct access to your bookkeeper, with consistent, reliable support throughout the year.
Affordable pricing. We work primarily with sole traders and micro-businesses, so our pricing is designed to reflect the needs of smaller operations — not large corporate clients. You get professional-standard bookkeeping at a price that makes sense for your business.
Local knowledge. Based in Wallyford, Musselburgh, we understand the business landscape across East Lothian and Edinburgh. Whether you’re a tradesperson, a freelancer, a small retailer, or running a service business, we’ve worked with clients just like you.
HMRC compliant. All returns are prepared and submitted accurately and on time. We keep up to date with the latest HMRC requirements — including Making Tax Digital — so you don’t have to.
Who We Work With
PBAS works with sole traders, freelancers, contractors, and micro-businesses across a wide range of industries. Whether you need ongoing monthly bookkeeping support, help getting your records up to date, or a reliable partner to handle your Self Assessment each year, we can help.
We cover clients across East Lothian, Midlothian, Edinburgh, and the wider Lothians area, with remote services available throughout Scotland.
