We're Glasgow Accountants Who Do Things Differently.
We started 1341 Accountancy because we kept seeing the same thing. People running great businesses, genuinely good at what they do, but struggling with the financial side. Not because they weren’t capable. Because nobody had taken the time to sit down with them and actually explain it.
We’re here to be that person. The accountant who picks up the phone. Who explains things clearly the first time. Who knows your business and stays on top of things before they become problems. Based in Glasgow, supporting clients across the UK.
WHO WE ARE
Two Accountants. One Straightforward Approach.
Between us, Laura and Emma bring 20 years of combined accountancy experience. We’ve worked with sole traders filing their first Self Assessment, start-ups building their financial foundations from scratch, landlords managing growing property portfolios, and established limited companies needing reliable, ongoing support.
What stays the same, no matter who we’re working with, is our approach. We keep things clear. We communicate honestly. We make sure you always understand what’s happening with your money. No jargon, no unnecessary complexity, and no making you feel like you should already know this.
We work from our Glasgow base at Clyde Offices on West George Street, but we support clients right across the UK. If you want an accountant who treats you like a person rather than an account number, you’re in the right place.
Our Vision
Accounting That Actually Helps You Build Something
Our vision is straightforward. We want 1341 Accountancy to be the firm that Glasgow’s sole traders, start-ups, and small business owners think of first when they need financial support. Not because we’re the biggest, but because we’re the clearest, the most approachable, and the most genuinely useful.
Accounting should tell you something. It should show you where your business stands, what it’s capable of, and what you need to do next. Not just at the end of the year, but throughout it. That’s what we work towards for every client we take on.
Our Mission
Simple. Clear. Actually Useful.
Our mission is to make accounting feel the way it should feel. Supportive, clear, and worth every penny.
We combine genuine accountancy expertise with a personal approach that most larger firms simply don’t have time for. You always speak to Laura or Emma directly. Your questions get real answers. Your deadlines are handled before they become a problem.
Whether you’re just starting out, managing an established business, or somewhere in between, we’re here to make the financial side of things one less thing to worry about.
Why Our Clients Stay With Us
Most accounting relationships start the same way. Someone needs help with their tax return, they find an accountant, they get the job done. What keeps people coming back to 1341 is something different.
It’s the fact that we actually explain things. That we pick up the phone. That when the rules change, like they did with Making Tax Digital, we tell our clients what it means for their business before they have to ask.
Expert Support
20 years of combined accountancy experience applied to your specific situation. Not generic advice pulled from a template. Practical, relevant support built around your business and how it actually works.
Personal Approach
You will speak to Laura or Emma directly, every time. We know your business, your history, and your goals. That makes the advice we give you significantly more useful than anything you would get from a firm that doesn't know your name.
Clear Communication
We explain everything in plain English. If you walk away from a conversation not fully understanding something, we haven't done our job properly. No jargon, no unnecessary complexity, no assumptions about what you already know.
Modern Accounting Solutions
From QuickBooks to Making Tax Digital compliance, we use and recommend the right tools to make managing your finances as straightforward as possible. We'll set it up, show you how it works, and support you when you need it.
What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from the people we work with across Glasgow and the UK.
We started working with 1341 when we launched our business and it was the best early decision we made. Emma got everything in order and we have always known exactly where our finances stand. Brilliant from day one.
Sophie T, Start-Up Founder, Glasgow
Laura sorted out three years of Self Assessment returns I had been putting off. Calm, efficient, and completely non-judgmental about the fact I had left it so long. I cannot recommend them enough.
David K, Sole Trader, Glasgow
I moved to 1341 from a larger firm because I was never sure who I was speaking to. With Laura and Emma, I always know exactly who I am dealing with and they always know exactly what is going on with my accounts. A completely different experience.
Alan B, Limited Company Director, Glasgow
