Independent Chartered Accountants company, Campbell Dallas, is set to open a new office next week in Perth.

The new office represents more than £1 million of investment in the city and will help create 50 new jobs over the next two years.

Chairman Ian Williams said the expansion is being made due to the company's growth strategy.

The firm saw turnover rising to just under £12m in 2016, with staff numbers up to over 200.

"2016 was a solid year for us and we are continuing to win increasing amounts of work across the business this year, with Healthcare, Rural and Family Business sectors performing particularly well," he said.

"Major transactions during the year included; advice to Innis & Gunn on their acquisition of Inveralmond Distillery; fund-raising for fast-growing technology business, Traveltek, acquisition support to Morris & Spottiswood in the purchase of Lled Construction and several high profile administrations.

"Investing for the future has steered our strategy in the last two years, and we will continue with a high investment ratio."
