Testimonials
Meet our Specialist Games Accounting Team
Stephen Bain
Partner
Since 2019 I have been Head of our Games & Digital Sector group, looking after both well-established businesses and new business startups in the gaming sector. I am a Partner at Henderson Loggie and am responsible for accounting and tax requirements for a wide variety of small and medium-sized businesses.
My gaming days go back as far as my first ZX Spectrum in the mid-1980s, but my accounting and tax knowledge has progressed faster than my gaming skills since then.
