Going Above And Beyond Together.

We are AAB, a leading professional services firm across the UK, Ireland, and USA serving the mid-market. We think beyond and strive to be your first port of call in all your business decisions. Our goal is to be your most trusted business advisor.

But we weren’t always just AAB. Our business today has grown through uniting with other professional services firms across the UK, Ireland, and USA. Some of our regions have delivered unparalleled services for our clients for more than 100 years. So, whilst AAB started life in 1990 as Anderson Anderson & Brown, providing accountancy services to the North East of Scotland, our team today blends together a wealth of expertise built through bringing multiple long-established businesses across the UK, Ireland and USA together as one powerhouse of professional services expertise.

AAB entered the island of Ireland market in 2022 when the business merged with FPM, an award winning cross-border accountancy and business advisory firm established by Feargal McCormack in 1991.

Whilst the locations of our teams, business heritage and range of services has evolved over the years, what we do for our clients hasn’t changed: delivering a personalised service, expert guidance, and long-lasting partnerships that help you thrive.

Now with over 1,000 team members, any AAB client has access to an unrivalled suite of business and professional services delivered by individual experts. This means we can provide a tailored blend of support for you that dynamically adjusts to the changing needs of business and personal lives.

Our approach is simple: we listen, we understand, and we act.
