About McCreath Accountancy
An independent accountancy firm helping small businesses and individuals from our offices in Linwood and Stornoway.
Accountants who know your business
We combine the technical expertise you’d expect from your accountant with clear, down-to-earth advice that helps you understand the numbers behind your business.
Running a small business involves much more than meeting deadlines. Our job is to keep the essentials running smoothly – accounts, tax, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll – while giving you the information to plan ahead with confidence.
Unlike many firms, we still spend real time with our clients, in our offices or out on site. The better we know your business, the better our advice.
We’re based in Linwood and Stornoway, and because we work in Xero, we can look after businesses anywhere in Scotland.
Led by Liam McCreath
Liam McCreath, Director, has 16 years’ experience across HMRC and small and large accountancy firms, covering employment taxes, personal tax and corporation tax. That experience convinced him that small businesses deserve a personal, proactive accountant who is on their side and focused on keeping them tax-efficient.
Every small business begins with a hope and a dream. Helping clients turn a hobby or a part-time job into a successful business is what drives Liam and the team.
Recognised for supporting small businesses
In 2025 we were named Best Small Accountancy Firm in Scotland and won the SME Support Excellence Award at the SME News UK Enterprise Awards.
We’re also a Xero Platinum Partner, one of Xero’s highest partner levels.
