Accounting and Bookkeeping Services

When starting, small businesses often try to manage their own finances. It makes sense in the early days. But as operations grow, the increasing demands of bookkeeping, VAT submissions, payroll, and compliance can quickly overwhelm internal resources. Without dedicated support, financial tasks fall behind, leading to missed deadlines, penalties, and stress that takes your focus away from running your business. Anlo Financial Solutions, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, provides professional accounting and bookkeeping services designed to grow with your business. Our chartered accountants bring over 15 years of hands-on experience helping small businesses across the UK stay compliant, financially organised, and focused on growth. We handle your bookkeeping so you can concentrate on what you do best.

What Our Accounting and Bookkeeping Services Offer

At Anlo, we provide a comprehensive range of accounting and bookkeeping services designed to support small businesses, sole proprietors, and trusts in Edinburgh and across the UK. Our services are built to meet your specific needs and ensure your business remains financially organised and compliant. Here’s a closer look at our core offerings:

Monthly Accounting Services for Small Companies

Our monthly retainer packages are designed for small to medium-sized businesses that need regular accounting support. With precise, timely financial submissions, we help you stay compliant while you focus on growth. Our services integrate seamlessly with leading accounting software like Xero, ensuring you have access to up-to-date financial data whenever you need it.

Flexible Pay-As-You-Go Bookkeeping Services

For those who need flexibility, our pay-as-you-go bookkeeping services provide exactly what you need, when you need it. This time-based billing approach offers transparency and control, with detailed quotations provided before work begins to keep your budget on track.

Yearly Bookkeeping for Sole Proprietors and Trusts

Sole proprietors and trusts with minimal transaction volumes benefit from our annual bookkeeping services. We compile your yearly accounts and ensure that all HMRC and Companies House submissions are accurate and filed on time, so you remain compliant without the hassle of ongoing management.

Comprehensive Financial Statement Preparation

Our financial statement preparation service includes detailed reviews to ensure accuracy. If required, we perform a formal compilation, working alongside tax practitioners to guarantee all submissions are compliant with the latest legislation.

Additional Services for Business Compliance

  • VAT Submissions: Ensure accuracy in your VAT reporting and submissions, keeping your business compliant with HMRC.

  • EMP Submissions: We handle all employment-related submissions to ensure compliance with payroll and employee tax obligations.

  • Statutory Services: From annual returns to other required filings, our team ensures your records remain up to date.

  • Payroll Management: Accurate, timely payroll processing that aligns with your accounting records relieves the burden of in-house payroll management.

Our goal is to deliver accounting and bookkeeping solutions that simplify your business operations, whether through monthly retainers, flexible services or annual support.

Small Business Accounting Packages

Every small business has different financial needs. That is why our small business accounting packages are designed to offer the right level of support at every stage of growth. Whether you are a sole trader just getting started or a growing company with increasing transaction volumes, we have a package that fits.

  • Starter Package: Ideal for sole traders and new businesses. Includes basic bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and annual accounts preparation.

  • Growth Package: For established small businesses needing regular monthly accounting, VAT submissions, and management reporting.
