In accounting, precision, integrity and timeliness are everything, and Carrick Aland has built its name on all three. With a lineage tracing back to 1953 and a legacy of top-tier service, the firm represents not just the past of regional accounting, but its future.

Tradition, meet a modern business.

When Carrick Aland was formed in 2011 from the merger of Carrick Ashmead and Aland & Co Accountants, it faced a particular challenge: carrying long-standing traditions into a modern business environment. Its clients, multiple generations of farming families and business owners, expected impeccable accounting alongside a modern touch that kept pace with a changing landscape.

On the front foot in the cloud.

The journey started with a bold move: getting onto the cloud early. While many firms were slow to make the shift, Carrick Aland, with Worktopia alongside them, was on the front foot, and saw what modern technology could do for their clients.

As SaaS tools became the norm across the profession, the firm kept refining and evolving its IT year after year. This was never about simply staying up to date. It was about leading the charge.

A personal service, with modern tools.

Carrick Aland’s dedication to its clients is clear. The mission is simple: help clients live the lives they want by managing and growing their wealth well. That personalised approach, paired with Worktopia’s solutions, lets the firm deliver a service that’s professional and genuinely personal.

Modern SaaS tools mean timely work, a smoother workflow, and the flexibility to meet changing client needs. That paid off through COVID-19, when the team could work offsite and keep jobs onshore while others struggled.

Investing in the future.

It was never just about adopting new tools. Carrick Aland’s role as a beta-testing firm for leading accounting software shows a genuine commitment to innovation. With Worktopia’s expertise, those investments have been timely and future-proof.

Tradition and innovation, together.

Today, Carrick Aland is known for more than decades of experience and deep client relationships. It’s known for a forward-thinking approach that blends tradition with innovation. Together with their IT partners at Worktopia, they’ve shown that even the most traditional firms can lead with modern technology, and keep evolving to meet client demand and best practice.
