Emslie Bird is an accountancy firm that prides itself on being more than just number crunchers. We are dedicated to building strong, supportive relationships with our clients, and providing a comprehensive range of services to help their businesses thrive.

Founded by Paul Bird and Joan Emslie, the firm has always held the belief that small and medium-sized business owners need strong ties and close support from their accountant.
