About Us

Our team have accumulated a wide range of business advisory and tax planning skills, having previously been partners in or working with both national and regional firms of Chartered Accountants.

Michael Ogilvie (Director) has previously been a partner in a top ten firm and not only specialises in Profit Improvement advice, but also in advanced tax planning strategies for successful businesses.

Michael believes that paying tax can often be considered as "voluntary" - it is a question of your attitude to tax, and knowing where to go to get the right advice to find the most appropriate way of legally avoiding paying too much tax. 

Through our membership of AVN and Probiz two forward thinking associations, we have gained access to much of this "right advice", and Michael continues to make other new contacts to further his specialist skills to help you save tax .

Michael was until 2002 a founding director of the Association of Profit Advisers, and also works as a non-exec director for several clients.

Michael particularly specialises in advising the Health Care professions. He is also a founder member of The Professional Speakers Association and talks regularly at seminars and conferences at home and abroad about the need for businesses to have a "Profit Culture" to be successful in the new century.
