Our Mission: One Finance Team, Complete Capability
J.C. Scott aims to operate as your single point of contact for your entire finance function. We deliver professional bookkeeping for all types of property businesses as well as VAT, payroll, and management reporting with certified oversight and modern cloud-based systems. When specialist services are required, statutory accounts, corporation tax, or tax planning, we manage delivery centrally through our partnership with a Chartered Tax Adviser, maintaining complete accountability to you.
From your perspective, you have one finance team: us. One relationship. One subscription. Complete accountability.
No fragmented providers. No explaining your business repeatedly. No hourly rates or surprise fees. Just transparent, predictable pricing for professional finance management that scales as your business grows.
Meet the founders
Joseph Scott - Technical Director
Joseph oversees the technical quality of our bookkeeping and compliance work, ensuring everything is accurate, timely, and aligned with HMRC requirements. His role is to give clients complete confidence in their numbers – clear reporting, correct submissions, and strong systems behind the scenes.
AAT & QuickBook Pro Qualified Bookkeeper
Dr. Karen Thornton - Operations Director
With a PhD in Philosophy, Karen brings a doctoral level of precision, logic, and ethical rigour to our practice. While Joseph ensures the numbers add up and Callum focuses on your growth, Karen ensures the firm itself runs with absolute consistency.
She acts as our ‘Guardian of Standards’, managing our internal workflows and client onboarding processes to ensure that nothing ever slips through the cracks.
Callum Scott - Sales Director
Callum’s goal is to make bookkeeping simple for business owners and landlords – clear answers, clear pricing, and a smooth switch with no stress.
He will help you understand what support you need, how switching works, and what we can do to make your finances more organised.
Our official tax partner
Simon Jacobs - Chartered Tax Adviser
CTA and ACA qualified professional, Simon brings extensive Big Four experience from his time at PwC to every client engagement. Tax strategy should be proactive, transparent, and genuinely accessible, not hidden behind year-end scrambles. When you work with Simon, you work directly with the decision maker, not an intermediary.
Simon specializes in tax optimisation, profit extraction strategy, and forward cash flow planning for SME owners and high net worth individuals (typically £100k-£2m+ turnover). Services start from £150/month depending on complexity. He’s available as a standalone adviser or as part of our Complete package, which includes direct access to his expertise alongside your J.C. Scott bookkeeping support, giving you the single point of contact most businesses wish they had.
Why choose J.C. Scott

Built for growing portfolios that need more than the basics.
From multi-property income tracking and seasonal cash flow clarity to VAT, payroll, and tax planning, we handle the complete finance function with expertise.

- Single point of contact: You deal with us - we coordinate any specialists and manage delivery end-to-end.
