Our Approach
Forming long-term relationships with our clients based on trust, integrity and honesty is fundamental to the way we work. After all, often the most valuable advice is not to engage in a particular transaction. So, clear thinking and a deliberate course of action are always at the core of our strategy, no matter what the objective.
We aim to provide our SME sector clients with the level of service, experience and strategic planning that would be expected by a plc.
Creative, strategic thinking is at the core of our philosophy:
- We will collaborate with you to establish realistic business goals and work actively with you to achieve, or exceed, them.
- We will help you develop an effective strategy designed to suit your specific business or investment needs and objectives.
- We will work with you to understand the intricacies of your business and provide entrepreneurial “owner” insights based on our own experiences.
- We will provide a tactical edge in critical situations when our technical skills, industry expertise and extensive relationships come into their own.
We aim to establish long-term relationships with our clients. Here are some comments from existing Macfarlane Gray clients:
“Over the years, we’ve established a very strong working relationship with Macfarlane Gray who have always provided us with excellent support and advice. There is no doubt our business has benefited from their many years of experience across a variety of business disciplines.”
Gordon Mearns, Managing Director, Sterling Furniture Group
“Since 1998, Macfarlane Gray has maintained a close working knowledge of our business as we've grown from a start-up to a multi-million pound international business, and has reacted swiftly and effectively when we needed support. The firm's versatility was most evident when we needed to appoint a big six firm as auditors and Macfarlane Gray co-operated to provide cost effective local services alongside the global audit firm. This flexible and versatile approach is backed up by professionalism, loyalty and outstanding service.”
Gordon Venters, CEO, ePoint Limited
“Macsween of Edinburgh has received excellent professional advice and service from the Macfarlane Gray Group for many years. We find the whole organisation very approachable and quick to respond.”
John Macsween, Chairman, Macsween of Edinburgh
