No accountant listed in New Galloway yet.

An accountant handles your finances - from annual accounts and tax returns to bookkeeping, VAT and payroll, helping you stay on top of your obligations and keep more of what you earn.

A good local accountant who understands your business saves you time, stress and often more money than they cost - especially if you're self-employed or running a small company.

Check they are registered with a recognised professional body such as ICAS (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland), ACCA or AAT and ask how they charge - fixed fee, hourly or a monthly retainer.

New Galloway is the smallest royal burgh in Scotland, a single-street village sitting at the northern end of Loch Ken in the heart of the Glenkens.

The village is a gateway to the Galloway Forest Park and sits within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere, a UNESCO-recognised area of outstanding natural heritage.

Loch Ken, stretching south from the village, is a popular destination for sailing, canoeing, fishing and birdwatching - ospreys nest in the area and red kites are a common sight.

New Galloway has a village shop, a town hall and the kind of quiet, unhurried character that comes from being small, remote and surrounded by some of the best scenery in southern Scotland.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
