“Made self-assessment a breeze!

Annja was such a joy to speak with! She explained taxes and self-assessment so clearly to me (I'm a sole-trader) and I left feeling a lot more confident about it. She also made it a fun and enjoyable subject, which is no small feat!”

Fleur Kempton

“Thank you both so much for taking all the stress out of this for me. I'm so glad I found you!

All the best!”
Anne Walker

“This being my first financial year for me to submit Tax related return to SARS my father suggested Anlofin. From the moment I contacted them to the final submission they have been not only efficient but also went above and beyond to ensure all was in order. Anlofin has also managed to get me more of a rebate than I expected.

Would happily recommend them to anyone. Excellent service and customer a returning customer for sure.”

Kind Regards,
Craig Dickerson

“Dear Annja,

I would like to thank you and the entire staff at Anlo for the excellent service.

I have to take this opportunity and make a special mention of Pumeza Chochoe.

She is always friendly and eager to help.

She goes the extra mile for her clients and makes them feel valued no matter how big or small their business may be.

She is a real star!

Victor and I are both greatful for her time, effort and assistance. SARS is not always an easy institution to deal with, but she does it with confidence and professionalism.

We are excited to continue doing business together in the future.”

Regards,
Mirlene and Victor Clarence

I was particularly impressed with the level of understanding and urgency that was afforded to our registration process. During these trying times it is assuring to know that your company and staff still go the extra mile in assisting clients.

Well done and keep up the good work.”

“I’m so grateful to have stumbled upon Anlo financial solutions. As a small business that has a mega vision, Anlo has helped us to instill financial discipline and to also put up formal accounting processes so that we can have the financial discipline we need in order to allow us to grow organically as a business without any risk of us being in contravention of any regulatory governmental body such as SARS etc.

Thanks so much Anlo for being such a valuable partner. I recommend ANLO for any small business out there that has a vision to become big one day.”

“Dear ANLO,

The South African National Editors Forum (SANEF)would like to thank you, and especially Ms Irelene Hampton for the recent training sessions she held with our office.

We recently migrated from our old accounting system to the XERO system, we were a bit concerned on how we would navigate it but Ms Hampton’s training has allayed our fears.

With the training done virtually, she did her best to manage it well and made sure we all understood the system.

Thank you once again.”

“Gauteng Opera has been a client of ANLO Financial Services since 2015 and has always been extremely supportive of our company. Gauteng Opera is not a big company, but ANLO did all the necessary financial work and many times at huge discounted rates. When times were really tough for the company, they even did a lot of work on a pro-bono basis. This kind of support is always much appreciated as the arts have always financial struggles to survive.

Their personal interest in Gauteng Opera is much appreciated and they feel like family. They make you feel that you can always as for advice and support.”

Dear Annja,

l just wanted to thank you so much for your help today with Xero. Julie and I had decided to get organised before Making Tax Digital was on us and with your recommendation, we went with Xero, as it seemed very functional and would do everything we needed. 

The big problem was we had no idea how to set it up or to use it. You kindly spent this morning with Julie and I working through our questions and helping us sort out what as needed. More importantly, you helped us make decisions about when we should run it from and then magically downloaded everything from our bank account and records to make it fit the date we’d picked.

I know we will have a lot of questions over the next few weeks, particularly, as we do our homework, but I have every confidence that with your help, we will go from zero to hero, on Xero!

I would not hesitate in recommending you to family. friends and business contacts."

“Dear Annja,

I just wanted to thank you so much for your help over July. As if we don't have enough to cope with, this year we are faced with changing our regulator. Just to make the initial submission was a herculean task and involved far more detailed financial statements than have been asked of us before. 

Since we are recent converts to Xero, thanks in large part to you, it was sensible that we would be relying on you to ensure that the numbers we submitted were as accurate as possible. With a deadline of July 31St this process dominated the entire month Throughout it all Annja was always available, always calm and willing to answer queries. The speed with which she managed to deliver the analysis and forecasts we asked for was impressive and very reassuring for both Julie (my business partner) and I. That sort of professionalism leads to real trust between a client and their accountant. 

Annja was, in short, an absolute hero despite the fact that this month also coincided with her being on a family holiday in France!

We could not have got through this without her and I have no hesitation in recommending Annja, and Anlo, to anyone looking for an exceptional accountant.”

Update #2

Dear Annja,

It’s been a year at least since we appointed Anlo as our accountant, having decided to go with Xero as our preferred accounts software.  It has been an interesting year!  Last year we had to change regulatory body, something that required your input and help, as we were making the transition to Xero completing our year and complying with our regulatory requirements all at the same time. If I remember correctly, you were helping even though you were on holiday for a critical part of that period.  

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!

The decision to move over to an accountancy software such as Xero became a necessity as HMRC required that all businesses had to make tax digital.  At the time it seemed like just another burden, but the outcome has actually been rather different.  We have never been so well informed as to the financial state of Employease and it has become second nature to put all of our invoicing and payments through it.  Even the difficulties that have beset all of us over the past several months have been slightly easier as we always knew where we stood.After a year or so of your constant help and encouragement it’s difficult to remember what managing our finances used to be like. 

This is therefore a longwinded way of saying a great big “thank you” for all of your efforts over the past year and to recommend you to anyone who wants to fully understand how their finances are operating and how to derive the greatest benefit from that knowledge.  Keep doing what you do!

Yours sincerely,

“Dear Annja,
Thank you!

Annja has been our accountant now for a couple of years. Since moving to Annja and her business, Anlo Financial Solutions, our financials have been much easier to manage and understand. Annja has revolutionised the way we manage our accounts. I really enjoy working with Annja. Her joy of numbers is infectious and her willingness to help is really heartening. Having a forward thinking accountant has been a bit of a revelation!

Thank you Annja, I have no hesitation in recommending you to colleagues, family and friends.

“Dear Annja,

Thank you for all your hard work over this year. Annja, you have dealt with our accounts and tax returns quickly, efficiently and in a way that has helped us understand our accounts in a clear and simple manner. You have also helped us plough through the financial aspects of our regulatory reporting and the Covid Impact surveys, which have become almost routine now, instead of pretty daunting. The best decision we made was to swap our accounts to you and to start using Xero. Thank you Annja, I have no hesitation in recommending you to colleagues, family and friends.

Yours sincerely,
