New Dunfermline Office

Those of you that are quite observant may have noticed in recent weeks a new address appearing on our headed notepaper. We now have an office in Dunfermline as a result of merging the well established firm, Rutherford Watson into Carters. As a key part of this merger the owner of Rutherford Watson, Douglas Rutherford, joins us as a partner and Douglas will continue to be the main contact in the Dunfermline office.

Douglas explained, “I have had a long association with Carters and we have worked on a number of mutual clients together and Carters have helped with certain issues for me over the years so it seemed a natural progression to merge our two firms. I am very pleased for my clients to be able to provide them with access to a wider range of services with my new colleagues at Carters, particularly Steve Taylor and Gavin Nurse who will provide our tax support services in Dunfermline and I am sure this will help to grow their businesses and achieve their business goals.”

At Carters see things very much in a similar fashion and as our Managing Partner, Iain Dryburgh, noted “This is a merger we have had under consideration for some time and we looked at having the presence in Dunfermline as balancing out our two offices in Glenrothes and Cupar so we are serving clients throughout the length and breath of Fife. We can see that despite the difficult economic climate there are still many areas of the Fife economy doing quite well and we are keen to spread the message with our “Changing the Numbers” concept and our tax mitigation strategies.”

The newly merged firm will have 9 partners located over the three offices along with a total complement of 50 staff making Carters one of the largest independent accountancy firms in the Fife.
