Louise Birse
Position / Owner
I started a small bookkeeping business in 1987 on a part time basis, using contacts I had made whilst working in the oil industry. The business has grown significantly over the years, with increased staff levels, additional services available, and a wider range of clients. In 1999 we bought our current office premises in Banchory and changed the name of the business from Banchory Bookkeeping Services to BBKS & Co Accountants. Qualified Accountants were brought in and a Tax Department was established. In 2002 we were the winner of the Sir Alick Buchanan Smith – Spirit of Enterprise Award sponsored by The Royal Bank of Scotland. I am extremely proud to be part of a team that bring a high level of knowledge and experience along with approachability and friendliness to all our clients.

Client Feedback
“Having used BBKS & Co for some 15 years I have to say I am impressed with their professionalism and work ethics, how they are able to support in some instances at very short notice when needed in all levels of accounting including the training of new HGV Team Members onsite if needed.
I would highly recommend any company or organisation looking for additional support, be it long term or interim, to contact Louise Birse, owner and proprietor of BBKS & Co, to discuss individual needs.”
Susan Wilson
Senior Finance Manager
“I’ve used BBKS for my bookkeeping and payroll for more than 20 years and their service and reliability has been fantastic. With Louise and her friendly efficient team you are in safe hands and I would highly recommend their services .”
Dianne Muollo

“Running a busy members Golf Club day to day along with managing my own business in the Golf Shop takes up a considerable chunk of time each day and doesn’t leave much free time for all the necessary paperwork etc that cannot be ignored. Thanks to Louise and her team at BBKS, I can rest easy knowing that all relevant invoices, accounts, VAT filing and TAX management are being taken care of, which allows me to focus 100% on my day to day role at the Club on the front line. And on this basis and working relationship I have no hesitation in recommending BBKS to anyone who operates their own business and on any level. “

“We have worked with BBKS for many years and are delighted by the service provided and their professional, efficient and friendly team. They offer practical and flexible solutions and are always available to discuss the best ways to accommodate our requirements. We have increased their role in our business and will continue to work with them into the future.”
Martin Simpson
Managing Director
The Deeside Water Company Ltd
“I first met Louise Birse at BBKS around 6 years ago and after a brief discussion about the issues we were facing employing a full time book-keeper with all the problems that arise around continuity, expertise, reliability , she offered a solution which took care of all our concerns, was affordable and tailor made to our needs.
Two years later, after working alongside our accountants, it made sense that we encompassed both accountancy and book-keeping from the one firm, BBKS, and to complete the picture, we moved our payroll over to them as well, which proved invaluable with pensions and furlough to contend with.
The service has been efficient, friendly and cost effective and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise and her team to any potential client.”
