Anisa Umer

Chartered Accountant, Manager, FMAAT, ACA

Anisa works with SMEs, contractors, and landlords, delivering a full range of services including Statutory Accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT, Self-Assessment tax returns, business and personal tax advisory services, and company secretarial support. She joined Naked Accounting in September 2015 while studying for her AAT qualification, which she completed in 2017, before achieving her ACA Chartered Accountancy qualification in 2022 – a milestone she is particularly proud of, especially as much of it was completed during the pandemic. Anisa enjoys the variety that comes with working in a small practice, where no two days are the same. She often reassures clients to follow the processes and systems the team puts in place so they can focus on running their business while she takes care of the rest. Anisa and the team have helped our clients adapt seamlessly to changes such as Making Tax Digital for VAT and are already well-prepared to guide clients through the upcoming MTD for ITSA requirements from April 2026.

Ben Harper

MAAT, Part-Qualified Chartered

Ben works with SMEs, contractors, and landlords, providing support with VAT, Self-Assessment tax returns, bookkeeping, and management accounts. He is especially passionate about helping clients gain a clearer understanding of their finances through granular and systematic analysis of their data. Ben began his accountancy career in 2018 by completing AAT Level 2 before joining Naked Accounting in 2019. He went on to complete AAT Levels 3 and 4 and began his ACA training in 2023, with the goal of qualifying as a Chartered Accountant by the end of 2026.

He values the firm’s expertise in Xero, its tailored advice, and its personal approach compared to larger firms.
