"Many growing clients really want to be associated with a service provider who is growing along with them..." "There are significant openings these days in the accountancy market for well-resourced local practices to win work from the big international firms, and I think Ritson Smith is well-positioned to capitalise on this. I see Ritson Smith pretty much at the head of that particular segment of the Aberdeen market, and I would say they are especially strong on owner-managed businesses. Although the firm is long-established, it has shown evidence of expansion in recent years, and I think today many growing clients really want to be associated with a service provider who is growing along with them. It's always good to see partners come up through the firm's ranks, and I discern a tangible feeling of loyalty within the firm. I would guess it's a friendly, efficient place to work. I have used Ritson Smith for due diligence work for the last five or six years, and they have always done a good job for me. They give good advice, and, although we share our work out between a number of accountancy firms, I feel I can introduce Ritson Smith to our clients with confidence." Aberdeen corporate banker |
