MacDonald Reid Scott is passionate about providing a service that is caring, trustworthy and innovative.
Founded in 1981 we have grown to become one of Scotland’s leading Insurance Broking and independent Financial Services organisations, delivering advisory support to many Scottish law firms and their clients. We have offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth.

Areas of specialism include wealth management for individuals and Trustees, all aspects of corporate insurance broking and risk management advice, and employee benefits consulting.

In our line of work, advice is a most important commodity but it is not always easy to say what makes one adviser better than another. Trust, confidence, experience, personality, attention to detail, competence and back-up resources are all vital indicators. But, perhaps above all, we believe that clients are seeking one thing, peace of mind.
That is why, over three decades, our clients have kept coming back to us for help in making smart decisions about their wealth and for all their insurance broking and risk management needs.

On the corporate side, our clients include professional firms, SME’s and Venture Capital organisations, whilst wealth management clients include many members of the legal profession and other professional practices as well as business owners and company directors.

The wealth management proposition is based upon the passionate belief that our clients are seeking a long-term consultative relationship and that diversification, asset allocation and passive investment management are the key drivers to investment success.

Because every investor has distinct values and goals, we begin our work by conducting a comprehensive initial review of each client’s current financial situation and future objectives.

Our primary aim is to deliver a service to every client that is tailored to their personal needs. We are fee-based financial planners who combine Nobel Prize-winning research with practical investment ideas to maximise the chances of our clients enjoying a successful investment experience.

We are business advisers on risk and insurance for a wide variety of industries and professional practices – from start-up / high growth companies through to long-established businesses, dating back to the late 1700’s.

In addition, we provide a number of specialist risk services to clients, private investors, non-executive directors, venture capitalists and lead advisers - for example:
Risk and insurance due diligence, and key-person advice for MBO’s / MBI’s, flotations, & angel investments
Emergency reviews and “day-one” covers for turnrounds and receivership acquisitionsPension and other staff benefit schemes due diligence and restructuring.In 1998,

MacDonald Reid Scott was awarded "Investor in People" status - one of the first combined brokerages based in Scotland to achieve the award. The process helps to keep the business focussed on developing staff so that they can continue to improve services to clients.
