Clarity Works Bookkeeping

Our key services

  • You started your business to create, build, and grow—not to get buried under a mountain of receipts, VAT deadlines, and spreadsheets.

    Whether your finances are already running online, tucked inside an Excel sheet, or literally sitting in a shoebox of paper receipts, we are here to help. As certified Xero specialists, we make your numbers simple, friendly, and manageable.

    Love spreadsheets? Terrified of tech? Somewhere in between? We meet you exactly where you are today and gently help you step into the future.

Meet Mary Browne MICB

Hi, I’m Mary, I help freelancers, creatives, and small businesses take the stress out of their numbers and build a clear path to financial success.

I’m a fully qualified and Licensed Bookkeeping Practitioner with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) (Licence No. 24965), holding both my Level 3 Certificate and the advanced Level 4 Self-Assessment Tax Certificate. As a certified Xero Practitioner, I love taking messy paperwork or complex spreadsheets and turning them into streamlined, easy-to-use digital accounts.

Before diving into the world of finance, I spent years working across Education, Event & Project Planning, and Community Development. This diverse background gives me a unique set of transferable skills—I am exceptionally organised, a natural problem solver, and deeply passionate about supporting people. I don’t just crunch numbers; I understand the hard work, planning, and community spirit it takes to run a successful venture.

When you work with me, you get more than just a bookkeeper—you get a dedicated partner who genuinely cares about your business journey.
