How long does it take to implement ClearFiscal?
Most clients are fully onboarded within 2-4 weeks, depending on company size and data complexity. Our team handles data migration and setup so your staff can stay focused on daily operations. A typical implementation includes:
- Initial discovery call and scoping workshop (week 1)
- Data migration and system integration (weeks 1-3)
- Team training and first budget review (week 4)
Do I need to replace my existing accounting software?
No. ClearFiscal integrates with major accounting and ERP platforms like QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP. We layer budget intelligence on top of your current systems, so your finance team keeps the tools they already know while gaining far richer allocation insights.
How do you ensure our financial data stays secure?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we're SOC 2 Type II certified. Access controls are role-based, so sensitive information is only visible to authorized team members. We also conduct regular third-party penetration testing and maintain full audit logs of every data access event.
Is ClearFiscal suitable for small businesses?
Yes. We offer plans tailored to businesses of all sizes, from startups managing their first budget to enterprises allocating hundreds of millions annually. Smaller teams often see the fastest results because there are fewer departments and approval layers to coordinate.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is based on company size and the scope of services you choose. We offer transparent monthly subscriptions with no hidden fees, and most clients see a positive ROI within the first quarter. See our pricing page for plan details, or request a tailored quote through our contact form below.
Can ClearFiscal help with budget reallocation mid-year?
Absolutely. Our platform continuously monitors spend against plan and flags opportunities for reallocation. You can model and execute mid-year adjustments in minutes, not weeks. Quarterly reallocation reviews are included in every advisory plan.
Who will I work with day to day?
Every client is assigned a dedicated financial advisor supported by a two-person analyst team. Your advisor leads quarterly budget reviews, responds to queries within one business day, and joins planning sessions with your leadership team when needed.
What reporting and insights do I receive?
You get real-time dashboards showing department-level spend against plan, monthly variance reports, and quarterly strategic reviews. All reports can be exported for board packs and shared with stakeholders in your preferred format.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
Our primary focus is UK-registered businesses, and our Edinburgh-based team works with clients across England, Scotland and Wales. If your business operates internationally, contact us and we'll discuss whether our approach fits your structure.
What happens if we want to cancel?
All subscriptions run on a rolling monthly basis after an initial three-month term. You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice, and we'll provide full exports of your data and allocation history so nothing is lost.
