A legacy of trust and expertise
Helen Lowe Ltd was originally founded back in 1928 by Helen Lowe and despite being almost 100 years old, the business has only had three owners to date.
We are proud of our history.
Helen Lowe was the first woman in Scotland to officially qualify as a Chartered Accountant which was an amazing achievement in the time of an historically male dominated profession. She then went on to set-up the practice two years later.
The business has grown considerably since then and we continue to build on Helen Lowe’s reputation for providing excellent advice and service to our business and personal clients alike. Although we are based in the Newington area of Edinburgh, we have clients all over the UK. We enjoy a good reputation both with our own clients and with public bodies such as HM Revenue & Customs, thanks to our long history and the quality of service we provide.
Together with decades of experience and passion for our work, we continually strive to stay up to date with the latest practices and technologies.
Our objectives are straightforward - to provide a good service at a reasonable cost!

Customer Reviews
Have been with Helen Lowe since 2008 or so, with two different business and my personal. They always come through, and what I mostly appreciate is that they don't waste time with coffee meetings and extra nonsense. The rates are fair and competitive, and they do not 'pad' invoices. They support me with Freeagent, and everything is usually complete before I'm even aware it's due. The staff are excellent to deal with. They also have an excellent and affordable audit-insurance package, which they can stick with you should you need it.
