Accountants win games firm clients
Dundee-based accountancy firm Henderson Loggie has won a clutch of new business contracts from creative and interactive media companies.
The move contributes to the firm’s plans to grow fee income by 40% in the sector in the next 12 months.
New clients include Ninja Kiwi, creators of Bloons, Bloons Tower Defense and SAS Zombie Assault games; Bristol-based Twice Circled, creators of Big Pharma; and indie games studio Team Junkfish, creators of Monstrum, founded by Abertay University graduates Jaime Cross, Simon Doyle and Adam Dart.
With 25 years’ experience advising companies in Scotland’s flourishing games sector, the specialist team at Henderson Loggie also acts for the UK Games Talent and Finance Community Interest Company.
The organisation manages the £4 million video games fund launched last year by the UK Government to boost the UK’s growing games industry.
Henderson Loggie partner and creative media specialist Steve Cartwright said: “We have grown up with the sector and have built up such wealth of knowledge that we are fortunate to be recognised as leaders in the creative industries field.
“We have high ambitions for growth, and are delighted to welcome our new clients on board.
“Constant change is the norm in their industry where one of the major challenges is monetising products.”
He said Henderson Loggie, with offices in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and recently named a finalist in the Tax and Accountancy category at the prestigious TIGA games industry awards, have strengths in helping companies to grow sustainably.
