Richard
Managing Director
I started Clyde Business Services in 2001 from a spare room with just a handful of clients. More than 25 years on, thanks to the support of a fantastic team and the loyalty of our clients, I'm proud to have grown the business into what it is today. I provide all aspects of accounting support, but I particularly enjoy helping people turn a business idea into reality and supporting established businesses as they take their next step and continue to grow. I believe in building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency and honest advice. For me, this job is about much more than numbers. It's about working with people, building confidence and making complex areas like tax and compliance easier to understand. Away from the office I love going on holiday, playing golf and poker, and watching football.
Kai
Accounts Assistant
I joined Clyde Business Services in 2020 as an Office Junior and have enjoyed progressing through the ranks ever since. Over the years, I've gained experience across payroll, CIS, bookkeeping, VAT and accounts, giving me a broad understanding of how we support our clients day to day. I enjoy working with a variety of businesses, providing accurate, reliable support that our clients can depend on. Outside of work, you'll usually find me at the gym or on the football pitch.
Ellie
Junior Administrator
I joined Clyde Business Services in April 2026 as an Administration & Office Junior Apprentice. My role is to provide administrative support to both our clients and the team. I'm often the first person you'll speak to when you contact the office, whether that's answering the phone, welcoming you when you visit, or assisting with day-to-day enquiries. I also help with the organisation of the office and support the team with a variety of administrative tasks. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, travelling and getting outdoors for nature walks.
Colette
Practice Manager
I joined Clyde Business Services in 2010, initially working part-time in payroll before expanding my role to include bookkeeping and tax. In 2018, I progressed to Practice Manager, where I now oversee the day-to-day running of the office and support both our team and clients. My role includes managing workflows, helping to ensure compliance deadlines are met, and working closely with clients on everything from fees to day-to-day queries and advice. I enjoy building strong relationships with our clients and helping to keep everything running smoothly. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the gym and taking long walks with my dog
Andy
Accounts Assistant
I first joined Clyde Business Services in 2015 as an Office Junior, where I developed my skills across payroll and bookkeeping to gain a broad understanding of the business. After spending a few years pursuing other interests, I was delighted to return to the team in March 2024 and now also work within the accounts department. Having experience across several areas of the business allows me to support both my colleagues and our clients with a wide range of day-to-day accounting tasks. I enjoy continuing to develop my knowledge and being part of a team that's committed to providing reliable, friendly support. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and am an active member of my local theatre group.

I've worked in accountancy since 1992, supporting businesses across a wide range of sectors, including construction, engineering, courier services and property. Since joining Clyde Business Services in May 2026, I've taken on the role of Accounts Manager, overseeing the accounts department and working closely with clients to help them stay compliant while supporting their business growth. Outside of work, I enjoy watching sport and spending quality time with friends and family.

I joined Clyde Business Services in April 2026 as an apprentice and have since developed into an administrative role, supporting both our clients and the wider team.

I enjoy being involved in a variety of areas across the business, while providing a friendly and reliable service to our clients.
