Self-Employed and Sole Traders
Managing your own business brings freedom, and the pressure of staying compliant with tax regulations, managing your accounts, and adapting to digital accounting systems. At Anlo Financial Solutions, we offer personalised, hands-on support for sole traders and self-employed professionals across the UK. As an experienced accountant for self-employed individuals and sole traders, we handle tax returns, streamline your bookkeeping, and set up the right cloud software to keep your business running smoothly.
Digital Tax and Cloud Accounting for Self-Employed and Sole Traders
With tax now going digital, spreadsheets and manual records no longer meet HMRC standards. All sole traders and self-employed individuals must maintain digital records and report income in real time using approved cloud accounting software.
As your dedicated accountant for sole traders, Anlo helps you to:
Stay compliant with HMRC regulations
Choose and set up cloud accounting software like Xero
Keep accurate digital records of income and allowable expenses
Submit real-time reports and end-of-year tax returns
Gain peace of mind with structured financial systems

Lack of real-time insight into business finances
Choosing the right tools for digital recordkeeping
Uncertainty around VAT obligations or limited company setup
At Anlo, we offer clarity and practical support, so you can focus on growing your business, not stressing over tax forms.
