Hi, I’m Tim, Managing Director at Scribe Accounts. I have a question for you. What if you could save time and money with your council’s finances, ensuring your accounts are compliant and transparent with a full audit trail with effortless monthly budget reporting whilst eliminating the risk of fraud and overspending and ensuring your funds are secure without the need for a clerk with a financial background with a robust system which will stay with your council for life? You are about to see how this is possible and to get started is easy.

All that’s needed is a computer, laptop or a smartphone and you will have perfect accounts in no time. With no tricky backups or worrying about computers crashing or worrying about lost laptops. Auditors will love you, GDPR Officers will love you, your clerk will love you.

Never worry about reports or finances again, plus save on accounting fees. See for yourself…

It is saving us time and therefore is saving our own time to spend on doing other things or we can pay for less hours. So, we are spending less council tax on doing things that should be quick tasks which are now quick tasks which is great. The reports that come out are clear and understood by councillors and no longer have £1.57 gaps which always draw the eye when you’re looking at that thing thinking why is that is not adding up? You are looking at the small picture numbers. And now it focuses meeting on much more on the important aspects of the month by month reporting and the most recent VAT report we had to do, took tasks that had been taking 2-3 days to compile that report down to something like 10-15 minutes and it was just ridiculously quick.

Here at Scribe, we have a simple method to drastically transform your accounts and improve the financial health of your council. With a simple system built just for you, is easily transferred when changing clerks, ensuring continuity. Which is robust, no more worrying when a laptop is lost, a computer crashes or a clerk leaves unexpectedly. With free training and free ongoing support for life!

So, stop missing out on VAT refunds. Produce clear monthly reports and AGAR in your councils branding in the click of a button. No more faffing around with spreadsheets and start focusing on the things that matter most in your community.

Say hello to Scribe Accounts. The number 1 accounting software for local councils, and the only tool a Clerk will ever need.

Budget profiling, detailed bank reconciliation, full audit trail, detailed forecasting, you will never have to wait to see a report again or worry about compliance. As scribe is completely secure. No more spreadsheets. No more confusing reports. No more paying an external accountant. No more worrying about fraud. No more wasted time. Ready to simply your council’s reports? Here’s the deal. We offer a free demonstration to show you just how much our software can do. We will then provide unlimited training and support. Scribe will soon pay for itself by saving your clerk hours. Ready to get started?
