About Us

Our priority is to deliver both a professional and personalised client service

JRD Partnership was established in 1978 and built a solid reputation for providing an effective and highly personalised service to our business and personal clients alike. We have a very high client retention rate and over 90% of our new business is generated from existing client referrals.

Our services include: accountancy, taxation, VAT, audit, consultancy, company formation/secretarial and payroll bureau. We do not carry out insolvency work or specialist/advanced tax planning but can refer these areas to experts where appropriate. In addition, we carry out restricted regulated financial services. As well as traditional compliance services, we can provide a range of consultancy and advisory services from business start-up to retirement and all phases in between.

While we are essentially general practitioners, we have significant experience over many years with a broad client coverage over most business sectors: construction, agriculture, financial & professional services, manufacturing, food & drink, entertainment & leisure, education and general commerce (including retail).

Although our main premises are based in East Ayrshire, we have a satellite office in North Ayrshire and a strong historical presence in Glasgow and Renfrewshire, resulting in a core client base throughout the West of Scotland. We also have a small number of clients based in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, London, Europe and USA (although these were originally local clients).

We have 20 personnel in total, including 3 chartered accountants, and a high staff retention rate which helps to ensure consistency of service and a thorough client knowledge.
