Wed, Aug 20, 2025, 11:41 AM 2 min read

Scottish company SBP Accountants & Business Advisers (SBP) has described 2025 as a notable year for the company thanks to an increase in clients, investments in talent and the expansion of its regional offices.

The company, which operates in the Aberdeen, Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Banff areas in Scotland, anticipates a 20% increase in its client base by the end of the year.

SBP noted in a press statement that its choice to remain independently owned is proving to be a “key differentiator”.

A key development this year was the relocation of SBP’s Fraserburgh office to larger premises. The move improved accessibility and enhanced its regional presence, attracting skilled professionals and notable clients, the company added.

In response to increasing demand, the practice has expanded its workforce by 11% over the past six months, which has supported growth in various service areas including audit, tax planning, research and development claims, and consultancy.

Recent company initiatives include the introduction of a salary sacrifice pension scheme, enhanced professional development opportunities and “flexible” working arrangements.

SBP added that it continues to prioritise innovation, with its in-house technology group working to improve both internal processes and client services, particularly in the area of cloud-based accounting.

The company noted that there is growing demand for advisory services in lending support, tax planning and software integration as small and medium-sized enterprises look for adaptable, technology-driven partners.

The company also revealed that it is actively exploring new locations for expansion.

SBP managing partner John Hannah said: “Our success is rooted in relationships with our clients, our staff and our communities.

“While the accountancy sector undergoes significant change, we remain focused on what matters most – delivering tailored, high-quality advice, investing in our team and maintaining our independence.

“That commitment continues to drive our growth and position us strongly for the future.”
