Clear numbers.
Confident decisions.
Anshaw Financial gives small business owners, sole traders and tradespeople accurate books and management accounts they can actually understand — delivered by a CIMA part-qualified accountant, not a spreadsheet template.
Every reconciliation checked, every figure traceable — books you can rely on without double-checking.
Straight answers about your numbers, including the ones that aren't comfortable to hear.
Reporting built to help you make a decision, not just file a record.
Built for business owners who want to understand their numbers, not just file them.
Anshaw Financial was founded to close a specific gap: small businesses are often too big to run on guesswork, but too small for a full-time finance department. Most bookkeeping stops at data entry. We start there.
Every client gets accurate, reconciled books as standard — and, on top of that, monthly management accounts written in plain English: what changed, why it changed, and what it means for your next decision. It's the kind of reporting usually reserved for businesses with an in-house finance team, built specifically for businesses that don't have one.
We work alongside your existing accountant where you have one — handling the books and the monthly insight, while they handle your tax filing — so nothing falls through the gap between the two.
Three tiers of clarity, built to grow with you.
Start with accurate books. Add insight when you're ready for it. Each tier builds directly on the last — the bars below show exactly how far each one goes.

Why Anshaw Financial exists
Anshaw Financial is run by Josh Holdsworth, a CIMA part-qualified accountant with hands-on experience managing period-end accounting — including accruals, prepayments and cost reporting — across a large multi-site operation. That's the same rigour applied to every client here, just scaled to fit a small business rather than a national one.
The idea behind Anshaw Financial is simple: small business owners deserve the same standard of financial clarity that large companies get from their in-house finance teams — without needing to hire one. Every client works directly with the founder, not a rotating team of junior staff.
