Why Clearline

Every ledger has two sides.

Here's the trade — what handling your own books usually costs you, against what changes once Clearline takes it on.

Debit — doing it yourself

  • Evenings lost reconciling receipts
  • VAT deadlines that creep up fast
  • Spreadsheets that don't quite tie out
  • Uncertainty at year-end

Credit — with Clearline

  • Books reconciled every month, without asking
  • VAT and payroll filed ahead of deadline
  • A single, accurate source of truth
  • An accountancy-trained eye on the numbers

How it works

Three steps to handing it over.

01

Free 15-minute call

A quick conversation about your business, current setup, and what you need taken off your plate.

02

Set up & handover

Software connected, historic records reviewed, and a simple monthly rhythm agreed with you.

03

Runs quietly, monthly

Books stay current, VAT and payroll go out on time, and you get a clear monthly update.

Pricing

Straightforward monthly packages.

Every business is different — these are starting points. Final pricing is confirmed after the free call, based on transaction volume.

Starter

£150/mo

For sole traders and very small businesses.

  • Monthly bookkeeping

"Set up Direct Debit" is for clients ready to go ahead now — it opens a secure GoCardless page to set up your monthly payment. If you're not sure yet, "Get started" sends a message instead so we can talk first.

Website & Digital Catalogue

One-off project pricing.

A separate, fixed-fee service rather than a monthly package — priced at current UK freelance-market rates.

£450

A simple, browsable catalogue of your products or services.

  • Mobile-friendly catalogue

"Pay by card" is for clients ready to go ahead now — final scope is still confirmed with you first via "Get started" if you'd rather talk it through.

Website Maintenance — add-on

For sites we've built and launched — software updates, security checks, backups, and up to 30 minutes of small content changes each month. £40/mo, cancel anytime.
