Our People
We currently have 9 employees covering all of the services we provide and who are able to back each other up when required to ensure continuity of service.
Some of the key people are:
Munro Rankine
The company is headed up by its managing director, Munro Rankine CA. Munro has been a CA since qualifying in 1979 but still doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up! He hasn’t done everything in accountancy but has covered a fair range - everything from being sent out for the morning rolls to computerising the Falkland Islands Government tax office!
Munro lives in Elgin and is married with three sons. His main interest is hillwalking and he can often be found dodging the midges on the top of a mountain on the West Coast of Scotland.
Cameron Brown
Cameron is in charge of our accounts and audit team. He is a fully qualified member of the ACCA and has been an accountant since 1989. He has a very wide range of experience in accountancy, audit, VAT and taxation. Cameron joined our predecessor firm in 2005 and has proved himself a very valued part of the team.
Cameron lives in Croy, near Inverness and is a very keen hillwalker, going to the hills most weekends.
Sue Peairs Smith
Sue has a dual role. She heads up our taxation department and is also responsible for many of our private and professional clients’ accounts. She has worked in a variety of roles within the accountancy sphere since 1984 and is highly experienced in taxation, accounts and VAT. Sue has worked with us since 2005 and is very well known by most of our clients – especially around tax return time!
Sue lives near Keith, is married and enjoys reading, walking, sport, keeping fit and music.
James MacKenzie
James is in charge of our payroll and VAT functions - as such he seems to get most of the ‘phone calls in the office. He has worked for Cathedral Accountancy Ltd and its predecessors since 1992.
James is married, lives in Elgin and is a keen supporter of Elgin City Football Club where he is Treasurer/Secretary of the Supporters Club.
Aileen Davidson
As our receptionist and general “friendly face” Aileen is the first point of contact between the company and the outside world. She is great!
