Guides
Step-by-step Anchor tutorials: solopreneur setup, tax filing prep, bank import, multi-currency, API, and MCP for South African small businesses.
These guides walk through common Anchor workflows for South African small businesses. Start with solopreneur setup if you are new, or tax filing prep when you need reports for SARS. API, MCP, and Stripe guides are for optional integrations. None of these pages replace a tax practitioner.
Who this is for: owners keeping their own books, bookkeepers working in Anchor, and developers connecting other tools.
Start here:
- Solopreneur setup for a first organisation
- Tax filing prep for year-end and VAT reports
- Free accounting software in South Africa if you are choosing a ledger
- Import and export if you already have data elsewhere
