Who we are
Accountants Who Actually Explain Things
We started 1341 Accountancy because we kept seeing the same problem. Business owners doing their best to manage their finances, but struggling because the people who should have been helping them were making it more complicated than it needed to be.
We’re Laura and Emma, two Glasgow-based accountants with 20 years of combined experience. We work with sole traders, start-ups, landlords, and limited companies across Glasgow and across the UK, giving them the kind of clear, practical support that makes running a business feel manageable.
From managing your books and filing your Self Assessment to getting you set up for Making Tax Digital, we take the complicated parts off your plate and make sure you always understand what’s happening with your money.
Everything You Need, All in One Place
From your first day in business to your most complex financial challenge, we have the right support for where you are right now. Every service is delivered with the same clear, jargon-free approach.
From Self Assessment and everyday bookkeeping to tax planning and expense advice, we give sole traders the clear, practical support they need to stay organised, compliant, and in control of their finances.
Annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns, director responsibilities, and ongoing financial guidance. We keep your limited company compliant and your finances clear throughout the year, not just at year end.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now live. If you’re a sole trader earning over £50,000, the rules have changed. We’ll get you set up on the right software and submitting your quarterly updates on time.
Accurate records, organised finances, and the right accounting software configured correctly from day one. Whether you use QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, we make bookkeeping straightforward at every stage.
Starting a business is exciting. Getting the financial foundations right from day one means fewer headaches later. We’ll get you properly registered, set up with the right systems, and ready to grow with confidence.
Rental income, allowable expenses, Self Assessment, and Making Tax Digital for landlords. We handle your property finances clearly and without unnecessary complication, whatever your portfolio looks like.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from the people we work with across Glasgow and the UK.
We started working with 1341 when we launched our business and it was the best early decision we made. Emma got everything in order and we have always known exactly where our finances stand. Brilliant from day one.
Sophie T, Start-Up Founder, Glasgow
Laura sorted out three years of Self Assessment returns I had been putting off. Calm, efficient, and completely non-judgmental about the fact I had left it so long. I cannot recommend them enough.
David K, Sole Trader, Glasgow
I moved to 1341 from a larger firm because I was never sure who I was speaking to. With Laura and Emma, I always know exactly who I am dealing with and they always know exactly what is going on with my accounts. A completely different experience.
