Our Enduring Journey and Commitment
01.
Our History
Total Accounting’s journey began in Paisley back in 2004, with just 10 clients and two staff members, including Euan. Over the years, we’ve experienced substantial growth, now proudly boasting a team of seven experts and serving 100 valued clients. Remarkably, we’ve remained in the same building where it all started—a place we now proudly call our own, a testament to our enduring commitment to excellence and community presence.
02.
Our Mission
Our mission is clear: provide top-tier outsourced accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, and tax services. With two decades of expertise, we lead with technology, swift responses, and unmatched customer care. We stay ahead, prioritise accessibility, and aim to be the go-to accountant in our niche. We’re problem-solvers, integrating seamlessly into our clients’ businesses.
03.
Tech Driven Solutions
Total Accounting has been paperless since 2004. We use 100% cloud accounting software to automate processes, improve accuracy, and provide tailored financial solutions. Our customer-focused approach empowers clients with 24/7 online access to their data, enabling informed decisions from anywhere in the world. Our personalised and secure financial solutions incorporate modern technology and proven expertise.
04.
Specialise in SME
We specialise in supporting the growth, efficiency, and profitability of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Our cost-effective Accounting, Bookkeeping and Payroll solutions eliminate the need for in-house staff and deliver substantial time and cost savings. This sets us apart from traditional accountants who typically only engage with businesses once a year to prepare year-end accounts for those who have in-house finance teams.

Client Centric Approach
Client-centricity is our priority. We offer a dedicated point of contact for consistency throughout the process, ensuring clients always know who to reach out to. We respect our clients’ schedules, recognising the value of their time. With an average of weekly interactions, we proactively stay in touch, addressing their needs promptly. Our personalised approach tailors solutions to each client’s unique situation, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service.
06.
Commitment to Excellence
We meticulously systemise operations for efficiency and precision. We guarantee accurate accounts within three months of year-end, ensuring client peace of mind. As QuickBooks Platinum Partners, we embrace technology and innovation, offering top-notch services. Our dedication includes continuous training and rigorous quality control, reflecting our commitment to detail and exceeding client expectations, cementing our reputation as a trusted partner.

They’ve streamlined our processes, moved us to the cloud, and offered invaluable real-time reporting. Now, I can focus on growing my business, not worrying about finances. Their team feels like an extension of our family—a perfect fit for any small to medium enterprise.
