Is Xero the right fit for your business?
Answer five quick questions and find out which cloud accounting setup suits your situation best.
What I handle on your behalf
From initial setup through to year-end filing, I manage your Xero account so it actually works for your business.
Xero Setup and Configuration
I set up your Xero account from scratch, connect your bank feeds, configure your chart of accounts and make sure everything reflects how your business actually operates. You do not need any accounting knowledge to get started. Once it is ready, I walk you through the basics so you feel confident day to day.
One-off setup includedBookkeeping and Bank Reconciliation via Xero
I handle your monthly or quarterly bookkeeping directly inside Xero, categorising transactions and reconciling your accounts so your records are always current and accurate. You get a clear picture of where your money is without lifting a finger. This forms the basis of every VAT return, tax filing and year-end account I produce.
Monthly or quarterlyMTD-Compliant VAT and Tax Filing
From April 2026, sole traders and landlords must use MTD-compatible software to submit quarterly updates to HMRC. Xero is fully compliant and I use it to prepare and submit your VAT returns and tax filings on your behalf. Every deadline is tracked and filed on time, with no last-minute stress for you.

The difference is not just the software. It is having a qualified accountant who knows your numbers and is available when you need them.
You always speak to Luke directly
There are no junior staff, no account managers and no handoffs at Anchor. When you have a question about your Xero figures, I am the one who picks up and answers it. That means no repeated explanations and no waiting for someone to look up your file.
Fixed fees with no hidden extras
You know exactly what you are paying before we start. My fees are fixed, so there are no surprise bills for a quick call or an extra email. Xero setup costs and ongoing bookkeeping are agreed upfront.
Plain English, not accounting jargon
I explain what Xero is showing you in straightforward terms. If a figure looks unusual or there is something you need to act on, I flag it clearly without burying the point in technical language. You stay informed without needing an accounting degree.
