Testimonials
I worked with Alasdair for a few years and it was a great experience all-around. Very pleasant guy on a personal level and a forward looking Director on the professional level. I would be more than happy to work with Alasdair at any point in time!
Financial Services Director
Alasdair has been supporting She of the Sea for over a year with all things accounting. Setting up and keeping on top of accounts beyond that of budgeting was not my area of strength and the peace of mind that came from knowing that this was in good hands freed up my time and mind to focus on important day-to-day tasks.
Client and Chief Mate 3000GT
Alasdair is a professional and effective operator, very responsive and positive in handling client requests. He is also good company and full of good ideas, putting together people from his array of contacts to get the best results.
Chairman and Client
I have been collaborating with Alasdair in several superyacht projects and he always proved to be very efficient and an excellent professional.

Alasdair is brilliant technically and has a very analytical mind. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and can manage a team to meet deadlines and deliver quality work.

I've had the pleasure of working with Alasdair on two occasions with different businesses, helping with business automation. Alasdair is very easy to get along with, he has excellent accounting skills and understands how technology can be used effectively in a modern financial services business. He is equally comfortable dealing with strategy and the necessary detail. I look forward to an opportunity to work with him again.
