The six-part series was created by Debbie O'Malley and had Madonna Baptiste and
Jed Mercurio as executive producers for HTM Television. O'Malley drew inspiration in part from a true-life unsolved crime in
Nairn, Scotland of the
Murder of Alistair Wilson, a banker shot dead on his doorstep in 2004. Mercurio was keen to examine the role of accountants and accountancy in illegal operations following the leak of data from the
Panama Papers scandal. The series had an advisor named Kenny Thomson, a former DCI in financial crime for Police Scotland. The series was also executive produced by O’Malley and Diederick Santer on behalf of
BritBox International and Polly Hill for
ITV Studios. Eric Coulter was series producer. The series had Jenny Darnell as the lead director, with Andrew Cumming also directing episodes. Filming took place near
Glasgow in Scotland. The cast is led by
