"Xero has been a bit of a revelation. We may have occasionally sworn at it, but at every step, you have been able to help us better understand it and how it can help our business. Now it feels like an indispensable tool. We have just completed our year end followed immediately by renewing our regulatory requirements. The latter has required a lot of input from you and frankly we’re not sure how we would have managed were it not for you and the reports we can generate from Xero!"

Amanda Galashan

"I attended an online Xero Accounting Basics training course with Irelene from Anlo Financial Solutions. The informative training session offered everything I needed, including notes and tips, for me to get started quickly and with ease in Xero Cloud Accounting. I highly recommend it!"

Who We Are

Anlo is run by Annja Louca in Scotland and Esmeralda Doman in South Africa. We are a chartered accountancy registered with SAICA and the ICAEW in the UK, and with IRBA in South Africa.

We believe that accountants should not be there simply to audit and sign off year end reports, they should be part of your business life, helping you understand your finances, offering advice, making life easier when it’s difficult and encouraging your business to ever greater success.

This aim reflects the values that underpin and drive our business; respect, a focus on growth and a nurturing, ethical and responsible mindset in all we do.

As part of this Anlo have incorporated coaching into their work, and both Annja and Esi are now qualified coaches, holding the Advanced Certificate in Coaching Practice. They are well placed to help you understand what you want from your business and how to focus on getting it. Not only is coaching something that can help our clients, but we have found that the techniques we learned in pursuit of certification have directly helped us with our own business.
