  I have used Anlo FS ever since I set up my business and for comfort with self assessment outcomes. I have received coaching and a high level of support which enabled me to work out what I truly needed to feel my obligations were satisfied to HMRC and Companies House. Now closing my business due to pursuits elsewhere I would highly recommend their services for end to end delivery. No question is off limits, and I have always felt supported. I have recommended to others already and if you are looking for support system for your business, Anlo may be your answer.

  We have been working with Annja and Kylene at Anlo UK for the past couple of years, and we noticed the difference from the very beginning.
Their proactive approach and consistently fast response whenever we have a question or need support are second to none. As a business owner with a very busy schedule, it can be easy to overlook an upcoming deadline. Annja and Kylene recognise this and always send a friendly reminder in plenty of time, minimising the risk of anything being missed.
They also keep fully up to date with new legislation and changes to rules and regulations, ensuring that we remain informed and compliant.
What truly sets them apart, however, is their personal touch. They genuinely care about their clients—not only as businesses, but also as people. We always feel valued, supported and in safe hands.
We cannot recommend Annja and Kylene at Anlo UK highly enough. Thank you for your outstanding service, professionalism and continued support!

  I’ve used Anlo Financial Solutions for several years and couldn't be happier with their service. Annja was amazingly helpful and kind when I reached out in 2023 with a Self Assessment issue. She was so kind, helpful, and sorted everything out in no time. The whole team is super responsive and always happy to answer my questions. I definitely won't be changing accountants anytime soon!

  Very great accountants, helped me learn what I needed when I was getting set up as a Sole Trader as well as doing a fantastic job managing my self assessment. Annja and Kylene are always great to talk to, they are calm, friendly, helpful and professional, and have very clear answers for my endless questions.

  Annja and her team from Anlo have helped me with my business accounts and tax affairs for years. The support and advice I get is superb, nothing is too much trouble. I frequently mess up my Xero, and they are quick to answer my calls for help, fix my mistakes and keep me up and running (and out of trouble). I can't thank them enough, and totally recommend their services.

  I was looking for a new accountant and was recommended Anlo Financial Solutions. Since I moved across it has been such a great experience and I definitely made the right choice. Annja and Kylene have been an absolute joy to work with and made things so much easier for me. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

  I've been with Anlo for a few years now for all of my accounting needs and they have been an absolute pleasure to deal with! They've managed to sort out issues I had with my accounts going back a few years, optimise all of my accounts going forward, and have in general, just been so friendly and kind whenever I ask for guidance.

Self-Assessment

Filing your own self-assessment tax return might seem straightforward, but it often comes with hidden complexities. Many individuals and businesses struggle with the HMRC’s requirements, which are not always easy to understand. The forms can be filled with jargon, and certain questions may leave you unsure of the correct answers. This uncertainty can lead to mistakes, delays, or even penalties if important details are missed or filled incorrectly.

Our experienced team is here to ensure you take full advantage of every legitimate tax deduction available to you. Do you know what allowances you can claim against your tax bill? We’ll help you navigate the complexities of tax regulations while staying fully compliant with HMRC.

Buy-to-Let

If you’re a property owner, whether managing properties personally or through a limited company, you must file accurate tax returns. Our firm specialises in catering to the unique needs of landlords like yourself.

From filing tax returns to offering strategic tax advice, our team of buy-to-let accountants is here to assist you every step of the way. With extensive experience in handling landlord accounts, we understand the intricacies of the property market, including the nuances of buy-to-let accounting.

Trust us to provide tailored solutions that align with your specific requirements, whether you’re based in Edinburgh or anywhere else in the UK.

Making Tax Digital

The UK government is rolling out a significant change in the way self-assessment tax returns are filed, known as Making Tax Digital (MTD). This initiative aims to modernise the tax system, making it easier for individuals and businesses to keep on top of their tax affairs.

To prepare for MTD, landlords should start by choosing MTD-compatible software that suits their needs. Many software providers offer solutions specifically designed for landlords, making it easier to manage rental income and expenses. Ask us if you have any questions.

While the transition to MTD may seem daunting, there are several benefits:

Improved Accuracy: Digital record-keeping reduces the risk of errors and ensures that your tax information is accurate.
Better Financial Management: Regular updates help you keep track of your income and expenses throughout the year, making it easier to manage your finances.
Simplified Tax Process: Using MTD-compatible software can streamline the tax process, saving you time and effort.
