Bookkeeping, AI and websites for businesses that want to run lean.
I'm a trainee chartered accountant with a computer science background — I help small businesses keep tidy books, put practical AI to work, and get a website that actually earns its keep.
Three things, done properly
Most small businesses need all three at some point. I'd rather be the one person who understands how they connect than three separate suppliers who don't.
Bookkeeping
Day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliation and VAT-figure prep through A&J Bookkeeping, the practice I run with a colleague — charged hourly, no bloated packages.
See the project →AI integration
Practical automation for the parts of your business that eat time — customer replies, admin, reporting — set up in tools you already use, without the hype or the jargon.
Ask about it →Web design
Fast, modern websites for Aberdeen small businesses that don't have one worth sending people to — built lean, priced fairly, with an ongoing care plan if you want it.

I'm training to qualify as a Chartered Accountant with ICAS while working in audit, on the back of a Computer Science degree from Dundee and a Finance degree from Aberdeen. Before that I ran a small business myself for five years — so I've sat on both sides of the books.
These days that mix shows up as three services that fit together: proper bookkeeping, sensible use of AI, and websites that don't get in a small business's way.
ICAS trainee & audit
Training to qualify as a Chartered Accountant while working in audit, and running A&J Bookkeeping and this on the side.
Audit internship, CNR
Hands-on audit experience before starting ICAS training.
Ran my own small business
Learned first-hand what small business owners actually need from their finances and their website.
Computer Science & Finance
Computer Science at Dundee, Finance at Aberdeen — the two disciplines this site is built on.
What I'm building
A&J Bookkeeping
A lean, two-person bookkeeping practice, co-founded with a colleague. Hourly-rate pricing, real ICAS training behind it, and no overhead passed on to clients.
Websites for Aberdeen SMBs
Building affordable, AI-assisted websites for local small businesses whose current site is doing them no favours — priced to undercut agencies, with a simple monthly care plan.
Tell me what you're stuck on
Books that need sorting, a process that could be automated, or a website that's letting the business down — send me a note and I'll get back to you.
