Simplify your finance and get your time back
A bookkeeper. A year-end accountant. Someone else on payroll. You watching the bank. A cash-flow spreadsheet and a CRM that doesn’t speak to the accounts. Every part may work. Nobody owns the whole picture, so you join the dots.
Accounting
You, joining the dots
The interesting part isn’t connecting the systems. It’s connecting the story.
You’re probably already paying for a finance function.
Just not one that works as a whole. Compare the whole arrangement, not just a year-end accounts fee.
Why not pay less for a better one?

Indicative figures for a typical £1m+ business. Your fee is bespoke, fixed each month and paid by Direct Debit, with no long-term contract. We’ll talk real numbers when we meet.
Get your real numbersYou raise your sales invoices. We do everything else.
We’re not accountants or bookkeepers. We’re your whole finance function, one team, built in.
We run your finance engine
AI-powered and paperless. Your data flows in automatically.
More
We’ve been paperless since 2002 and have fully embraced AI. Your bank, card, sales and purchase data flows to us automatically through the best accounting technology on the market, then our team checks it, reconciles it and keeps payroll and VAT running on time. We were front runners with this technology, and we still are.
Plan your tax all year round
Keep more of what the company makes.
More
We plan how you take money out of the company so you keep the most of it, and keep your tax exposure as low as it can lawfully be. We do it throughout the year, while there’s still time to act, not at the year end.
Total Clarity, not management reports
Your numbers live, not months later.
More
Total Clarity replaces the monthly management pack. Sales are live, purchases are a few days behind, we reconcile weekly and close each month properly, so what you see is accurate.
Your number two
A sounding board and strategist on tap.
More
Being the boss can be lonely. Your Finance Director is the person you call when things are good and when they’re not: a sanity check on pricing, buying an asset, hiring or a new system. He has owned a business for over 20 years.
Built into your business.
Not bolted onto it.
Total Clarity is real-time management reporting, and a lot more. It replaces the monthly management pack: sales live, purchases days behind, reconciled weekly and closed properly every month. This is a demo construction business. Tap anything under “Needs attention”.
Honest about every number.
Live where it can be. Estimated where it has to be. Closed once we’ve checked it.
Ask about your business.
Quick answers from your own figures. The bigger questions come to your Finance Director.
Demo business. Yours shows your own numbers, live.

Come and see usSix questions. Be honest.
Most owners of growing businesses know their turnover and their bank balance. Fewer can answer these with confidence — not because they aren’t sharp, but because the financial information hasn’t kept pace with the business.
Total Clarity answers all six for our clients, every day. There’s no sign-up and no sales pitch. Just see where you land.

Don’t think of me as your accountant. I’ve owned a business for over 20 years and spent 32 alongside owner-managed businesses, so I know being the boss can be a lonely place. Pricing, buying a new asset, bringing in a new system, a tough month: call me first. A sounding board and a strategist on tap is invaluable. I focus on our larger clients and on Total Clarity, so the numbers you make decisions with are live and right.
“I’m confident I’ll improve your profit margins and reduce your tax exposure. That’s the job.”
A full finance function behind every client.
Two directors, two different strengths. Terri Ann makes sure your accounts, tax and payroll are done right and on time, every month. Euan focuses on growth: more profit, better decisions and the big calls, as your Finance Director. Behind them sit our accounts team, payroll department and tax team, with trusted specialist partners when you need more than finance.
Euan Brown
Finance Director & Strategist
Finds where your business makes and loses money, and what to change to make more of it. Technical depth and 32 years of commercial judgement, focused on profit, cash and growth.
Terri Ann Lawson
Accounts Director
Over 20 years with us. She leads the accounts, tax and payroll teams and makes sure every deadline is met and every number is right. Day-to-day questions go straight to her.
Your books, every week
Bookkeeping, reconciliations, VAT, month-end close and management accounts, checked by people who know your business.
Everyone paid, on time
Payroll, pensions, auto enrolment and RTI, weekly to quarterly. Your staff never notice a thing.
Tax planned all year
Corporation tax, year-end accounts, director tax and profit extraction, planned as you go, not found out at the end.
No waiting a week for a reply. No ticket numbers. Advice when you need it, not at year-end.
Everyone wants a piece of AI. Our clients already have it.
We’re not shy about it: we’ve fully embraced AI. We’ve built our own systems to run your finance engine, so our senior team spends its time on advice, not data entry. And with our technology partner we build bespoke AI systems for the rest of your business: field service, bookings, marketing and websites, all feeding Total Clarity.
Your finances improve, so does the whole company, and we keep improving everything, every month.

Our fees are built for businesses turning over £1m or more. That’s where a full finance function pays for itself, and where we make the biggest difference.
If you’re growing towards that, we’d still like to help. Call us for a quick chat, or take the Clarity Test to see where you stand.
For a deliberately limited number of established businesses in Central Scotland. Typically £1m+ turnover.
