Trusted by 100,000+ business owners
The financial side of a window cleaning business is simple enough in principle – until the admin piles up. Regular rounds, a mix of cash and bank transfers, mileage between every customer. Here's what you're actually dealing with – and what ANNA handles for you.
Most window cleaners work the same customers week after week or month after month. That's great for business – but tracking who's paid, who's outstanding, and what's due across a full round can still turn into a spreadsheet headache. ANNA tracks every payment that comes into your account so you always know exactly where you stand.
With ANNA, tax is never a surprise. You'll see what you owe HMRC in real time, based on all your transactions and income – no guesswork, no end-of-year scramble.
Water-fed poles, pure water systems, squeegees, cleaning solutions, van servicing, public liability insurance, mileage between customers – the receipts stack up fast. ANNA's AI receipt scanner reads each one and categorises the expense automatically. No missing receipts, no manual entry.
Running a limited company? The +Taxes add-on includes payroll for a director or employee, built into the same app you use for everything else.
Fewer bookings in winter, a rush after every dry spell – window cleaning income doesn't arrive on a fixed schedule. ANNA's Tax Pot sets money aside as each payment lands, so a slow month never catches you out.
Restocking cleaning fluid or picking up a replacement squeegee mid-round? Give employees their own ANNA expense card with a spending limit instead of handing over your main card.
Invoicing
Create and send a professional invoice in seconds, directly from the ANNA app. Add a payment link so clients can pay by card on the spot. Set up recurring invoices for regular clients so you never have to think about it.
For window cleaning businesses: Chase late payments automatically. Commercial window cleaning clients can be slow payers. ANNA sends reminders so you don't have to make the awkward call.
Expenses
ANNA will remind you to take a picture of receipts as you buy. Our AI receipt scanner reads them and categorises the expense. It all lands in the right place, ready for your tax return.
For window cleaning businesses: Equipment and supplies are bought little and often across a busy round – exactly the kind of spending that's easy to lose track of. ANNA's AI receipt scanner catches every receipt automatically, so nothing slips through by year end.
Tax Pot
Every time you get paid, ANNA can automatically move a percentage into a Tax Pot. When MTD Self Assessment or a VAT bill arrives, the money's already there. No scrambling, no borrowing, no stress.
For window cleaning businesses: Regular round income means regular payments – which makes a Tax Pot particularly straightforward. Set your percentage once and ANNA moves it aside every time money comes in, whether it's a bank transfer from a residential client or a payment from a commercial account.
Auto Accountant · +Taxes
ANNA's Auto Accountant calculates your taxes behind the scenes, so that you can review and file them directly with HMRC – no spreadsheets, no accountant required.
For window cleaning businesses: Once your turnover hits £90,000 you must register for VAT and file quarterly. ANNA handles it for you, one more job off your to do list.
Team expense cards
When your employees need to buy supplies on a job, give them their own ANNA business expense card with a spending limit. No petty cash, no reimbursements, no receipts shoved in a pocket.
For window cleaning businesses: Useful when a team member needs to top up cleaning supplies or cover a vehicle repair mid-round. They spend within the limit you set, ANNA logs every transaction automatically.

It depends on your structure – but separating business and personal money almost always makes financial admin easier.
Not legally required, but HMRC expects clear business records. Mixing them with personal spending makes your tax return harder and gives HMRC more to question. A free account solves this in minutes.
A limited company is a separate legal entity. Using a personal account for company money isn't permitted – it can create serious tax and legal problems.
Once you're paying other people, a proper business account makes it much easier to track payments, manage invoices and keep clean records for HMRC.
