Scott Donald

Director of Client Services

Scott joined NLP in 2015, bringing with him a strong background in audit and a solid track record supporting SMEs and owner-managed businesses. He now focuses on the firm’s creative clients, from theatres and film productions to television, video games and everything in between.

He qualified as an ACA in 2008 and built his early career in regional and national firms before finding his home at NLP. Today, he works closely with production companies, helping them navigate compliance, unlock tax credits and keep their operations running smoothly behind the scenes.

Scott is also a key player in the firm’s graduate training programme. He plays a hands-on role in mentoring new joiners, supporting their journey from trainee to qualified accountant.

When he’s not managing audits or reviewing tax credit claims, Scott’s busy with his family, often found pitchside, poolside or acting as unofficial chauffeur to his three children. He is an all-round great bloke and pillar of the local community, volunteering as treasurer for the local swimming club and coach for the local football club.  Despite these selfless acts, he still finds time to lace up his running shoes, when he can.
