Scribe works EVERYWHERE

Online software built for Councils

Most accounts software is designed for businesses with Profit and Loss accounts. This means there are complicated ledgers that are unnecessary for Councils, and you can't produce the reports you need to meet your statutory obligations.

Many Councils find using these packages difficult, so stick to Excel spreadsheets, but this has no audit trail and requires time to be spent on producing manual reports.
‍
Scribe is an accounts package with full accounting support, purpose built for Town and Parish Councils, designed to make it easy to produce compliant Council accounts.

Suitable for Receipts and Payments or Income and Expenditure accounting.

What our Councils say

Lovely tidy bank reconciliation!

"The Internal Auditor will love you, your Councillors will love you, the VAT man will have no issues, you’ll be able to sleep at night!”

Francesca Pridding
Town Clerk of Tywyn Town Council
I no longer use external resources

“Scribe is so user friendly, it guides you through everything and has the ability to produce every report you would need as a Town Clerk. End of year Scribe does everything for you and populates the Annual Return.”

Sue Piergianni
Clerk of Whittlesey Town Council
Logical and easy to use

“For somebody without a finance background it is a godsend. It is logical and easy to use.”

Liz Shayler
Clerk of Banwell Parish Council
Easy to learn and logical

I am not from an accounts background, so it really helps me to make sense of it all having such an easy to use system. Now we are approaching Year End, I am not daunted by it as I know Scribe will do the hard work for me!

Heather Ongley
Clerk at Midhurst Town Council
Why I love Scribe!

"I have found Scribe SO easy to understand and use. The transaction layout is clear, reporting formats straightforward and setting up process seamless."

Clerk
Overton Parish Council
Never looked back

The dreaded AGAR for Parish Clerks is the highlight of the year (NOT) The team at Scribe are just the tonic needed for all Parish Clerks. Their calm systematic approach to everything takes the stress out of not only the AGAR but all things financial.

Dawn Plant
Hinton Parish Council
