Management Team
Dean Anderson MA CA – Managing Director
A member of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
Dean’s experiences span across small, medium & big four practices as well as working industry and overseas.
Dean has worked with clients in almost every sector, from hospitality and retail, to consultants and the construction industry.
He is a massive fan of F1 and football. Loves cats and spending time with his young children and wife.
“I started Anderson & Edwards with James because I wanted to advise business owners on running their businesses. But first, I needed to understand how to run my own business so I could help them out more.”
James Edwards MA ATT CTA – Tax Director
A member of the Association of Tax Technicians and Chartered Tax Adviser.
James specialises in the taxation of individuals as well as the taxation of trusts, estates, and inheritance tax. This allows him to deal with a range of issues, from employees with income tax issues, to farmers with capital gains tax and succession issues.
Outside of tax, James is a keen musician, Edinburgh (and Welsh) Rugby fan, dabbles in bowls, and is trying to find an excuse to get into sailing.
“I didn’t want anyone to put pressure on me for spending too much time getting to know my clients. A big part of starting Anderson & Edwards was to help others in the long term rather than the short term.“
Iain Harris BSc MSc CA CTA – Associate Director
A member of both Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) and Chartered Institute of Tax
Iain has broad experience from a variety of roles in accounting, finance and tax – working both in accountancy practices and in-house for larger businesses.
Iain’s main interest is in VAT – taking time to unpick the often bizarre and seemingly illogical rules that can cause unexpected tax losses.
Having worked for a SIPP/SSAS Pension provider for some years, Iain has wide experience providing tax advice on property transactions involving pension funds.
Outside of work he spends his time running after a young family, cooking for family and friends, and encouraging his young son’s interest in indoor climbing so he has an excuse for more trips to the climbing arena at Ratho!
“I joined Anderson & Edwards because I share their commitment to their clients’ growth. Our clients’ success is our firm’s business and I look forward to working with them to develop their growth.”
