Why "Totus"

Totus is Latin for whole. That's the whole idea.

A tax decision affects your investments. A shareholder dispute affects your accounts. A retirement plan affects your estate. When advisers work in silos, those connections get missed — and missed connections cost money.

At Totus One, your accountant, adviser and solicitor sit in the same firm and share the same view of your affairs. One relationship. One strategy. Every angle covered.

Why it's different

Big-firm capability. Without the big-firm distance.

Joined-up advice, by design

You shouldn't have to be the go-between for your own advisers. We connect the dots between tax, wealth and law so nothing falls through the cracks — and so opportunities aren't missed.

  • One team, one viewEvery specialist starts from the same brief — no gaps, no contradictions.
  • Fewer handoffsNo re-explaining your situation to three separate firms.
  • Decisions in contextAdvice that weighs the accountancy, financial and legal angle together.

Senior people, start to finish

  • Partner-led relationshipsDirect access to the specialists making the decisions.
  • Real pedigreeBuilt on decades of accountancy, financial and legal practice.
  • Plain EnglishClear advice you can act on — no jargon, no mystery.

The partners

Led by three specialists who came together to do it better.

Each heads their discipline. Together, they founded Totus One to give clients a single connected team rather than three firms that never compare notes.

Who we work with

Owners, founders and the families behind them.

Different people, one thing in common: their tax, their money and their legal affairs are too connected to be handled in isolation.

Owner-managed businesses

Accounts, tax and structure that keep pace as you grow — with a clear plan for whatever comes next.

Founders & entrepreneurs

From first-year setup to a life-changing exit, with the tax, wealth and legal angles handled as one.

Company directors

Pay yourself efficiently, protect what you've built, and keep personal and business affairs in step.

Property & landlords

Ownership structures, financing and succession planning for portfolios of every size.

Families & private clients

Wealth, estate and legal planning that looks after this generation — and the next.

Professionals & partnerships

Tailored advice for solicitors, consultants and partnership businesses — and their principals.

One brief, three lenses

What joined-up actually looks like.

Selling the company
The accountants shape the deal for tax and get the numbers diligence-ready. The solicitors negotiate the sale agreement and warranties. The planners have the proceeds plan waiting — so completion day is the start of the next plan, not a scramble.
Accountancy leadsLegal and planning alongside
Extracting profit well
Salary, dividends and company pension contributions are set as one strategy across the business and the household. The planners invest what comes out; the solicitors put the shareholder agreement behind it — so the structure survives a fallout, a death or a sale.
Planning leadsAccountancy and legal alongside
Passing on wealth
The wills, powers of attorney and any trusts are drafted by the solicitors — around an inheritance tax position the accountants have quantified and a gifting and investment plan the planners have stress-tested. One estate plan, not three documents that disagree.

How we work

A simple way in. A clear way forward.

Whether you need one discipline or all three, the path is the same — and it starts with a conversation, not a contract.

Start the conversation

Discovery

A no-obligation conversation to understand you, your business and what "good" looks like across the numbers, the money and the law.

Spot the overlaps

We map where your accountancy, financial and legal needs meet — and where the risks and opportunities really sit.

One coordinated plan

A single plan led by the right specialists, agreed with you in plain English and clear on price.

Ongoing partnership

We stay close as things change — proactive advice from a team that already knows the full context.

Common questions

The things people ask us first.

What does Totus One actually do?

We're a multidisciplinary professional services firm. We bring accountancy, financial planning, and legal advice into a single, partner-led team — so when your needs overlap, the people advising you already share the full context, instead of each seeing only their slice.

Do I have to use all three services?

Not at all. You can engage any single discipline — many clients start with one. The advantage of Totus One is simply that the moment your accountancy, financial or legal needs touch each other, the right specialists are already in the room.

Are you regulated?

Yes — everything we do is delivered by experienced, properly regulated professionals. The full regulatory detail is in our legal notice if you ever want it, but it's not something we lead with.

Where are you based, and who do you work with?

Our office is at 1-2 Charterhouse Mews in Clerkenwell, London EC1, on the edge of the City. We act for owner-managed businesses, founders, professionals and private clients across the UK.

How do your fees work?

We agree scope and price up front, in plain English, before any work begins. Where a piece of work spans more than one discipline, we coordinate it so you get one clear proposal instead of three separate bills to reconcile.

See your whole position — clearly, and in one place.

Book a no-obligation consultation with the Totus One team. One conversation is often all it takes to spot what three separate advisers have missed.
