Hello I'm Anna
I started Accrue Bookkeeping in March 2010 in Helensburgh. It has grown from a desk in the corner of my living room to a full-time business that operates from both Helensburgh and Largs and provides services to over 30 small businesses that also extends from Lochgilphead to the West End of Glasgow.
As a business owner I know there are a million things to think about - from getting the product or service just right, to dealing with customers, suppliers, and staff.
Most of my clients come to me having had the best of intentions to keep on top of their accounts, but the pile just keeps growing, and it can be a daunting task, especially if you are just starting out.
And this is where I can help out, I can get on with taking care of your finances and admin so you can concentrate on what you are good at, running your business.
I take pride in offering an approachable and straightforward value-for-money service … here’s what some of my clients have to say about me…
The trustees first engaged Accrue Bookkeeping, in 2016 and Anna quickly assimilated the complexities and peculiarities of our financial procedures, practices and systems. Her expertise on Sage became evident and she introduced improvements and changes, which have made it much easier for budget holders and the trustees to manage and track income and expenditure.
Anna works closely with our Treasurer and has brought a professionalism to the way we oversee and monitor our financial affairs, which is recognised by our external accountants and the Independent Examiner of our accounts. In recent years, she has helped the trustees safely navigate the Charity through choppy financial waters and has been a significant contributor to the sustainability of the support we provide to unpaid carers.
The trustees regard Anna as being very much part of our organisation and, as well as her warm manner and personality, she has demonstrated a dogged determination to iron out any bookkeeping problems that have arisen. I unhesitatingly commend Accrue Bookkeeping to any other charity or business seeking assistance to keep their financial affairs in good order.
I have been working with Anna and her team for over 8 years and during that time we have benefitted from the excellent services provided by Accrue Bookkeeping. They are both proactive and react quickly to deal with any queries that arise. We value our relationship with them being a key service for our business.
Anna has by far been one of the best investments that I have made after taking over a family business last year. I know that I can rely on Anna 100%. Not only is she organised, efficient and thorough, it is comforting to know that she is there cross checking and ensuring things are running correctly and smoothly. Anna's expertise has proved invaluable.
Anna has removed all the anxiety that I had over doing my own bookkeeping. Her knowledge is vast and always current, and she is able to explain the nuances of my business finances in a language that I understand. She worked so closely with me to make sure we got the right systems in place to make it easy for me to keep the records she needs… she makes the process so simple for me now, it consumes a fraction of my working day now. I used to get quite overwhelmed with just the idea of trying to do my finances but no more. I’m very grateful to Anna for making it such an easy process and not making me feel like an idiot! She is meticulous, timely, patient & knowledgeable, I would highly recommend Anna to any business.
When Accrue took over the financial organisation of the company nearly over 5 years ago, it was like a weight had been lifted. I was able to concentrate on work without the worry and pressure of keeping my accountant and the tax man happy! Anna is a pleasure to work with; she's very organised, friendly and has a keen eye on the figures. She's always happy to explain what's needed in a way that makes sense and keeps me on track with deadlines. I would happily recommend making her part of your business
Anna has been my bookkeeper for many years, and I can’t imagine working with anyone else. It is very clear that Anna loves what she does, and this is shown in the way she looks after me and my small business. No question I ask is too silly and what seems complicated is made simple. I trust her completely. Anna’s knowledge, confidence and support have shaped my business but her care, understanding and refreshing honesty is what I enjoy most about working with her.
I would be happy to recommend Accrue Bookkeeping to any business or individual looking for a comprehensive, friendly and professional approach to tax and accountancy matters. Since starting my own business 10 years ago, Anna was recommended to me, and she has steered and guided me throughout this time. Her advice has been invaluable to the success of my business.
"I have worked with Anna since starting my video production business seven years ago and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is personable, considerate and has a wealth of knowledge. Whenever I’ve had a business or accountancy question, she’s had the answer or sought one out and been able to explain in a coherent and straightforward way. On top of this she has saved me time and money, allowing me to focus on my business.
Alongside her professional capabilities, she is a warm, honest and easy going person. If you’re looking for a skilled, calm and competent accountant, I would happily recommend Anna at Accrue.
I have a small business and I was trying to do my own accounts and run my business. My accounts were in a mess, I was spending so much time trying to sort them out and worrying about not keeping everything up to date. I needed to free myself from trying to do everything and concentrate on what I was good at and move forward with my business. Anna agreed to take over my accounts that was over 10 years ago now and I would recommend her to any small business that was looking for someone to help them with their bookkeeping, she takes time to explain and keeps me notified of any changes.
As a new business owner, I was terrified of getting something wrong with HMRC and my tax return.
Anna was so helpful from day one and continues to be. I know I’m in safe hands, she’s easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I wouldn’t be without her! Best business investment yet. Highly recommend her services.
