Year-end accounts that tick the boxes and tell you something useful

Your annual accounts are a legal must for a limited company and the backbone of your tax return if you're a sole trader or partnership. We prepare them carefully, file them on time, and then sit down with you to explain what the numbers mean for your business.

‍

We produce annual accounts for businesses of all shapes in Upminster, Hornchurch, Romford, Brentwood and across Essex.

‍

What's included

  • Statutory accounts for limited companies, filed with Companies House
  • Your corporation tax return (CT600), filed with HMRC
  • Year-end accounts for sole traders and partnerships, ready for your tax return
  • Checks on your director's loan account and dividends
  • Dormant company accounts
  • A plain-English run through of your results, and ideas to save tax next year

‍

Deadlines for limited companies

  • Accounts to Companies House: 9 months after your year end (21 months after you set up, for your first accounts)
  • Corporation tax to pay: 9 months and 1 day after your year end
  • CT600 return to HMRC: 12 months after your year end

Miss the Companies House deadline and fines start at £150, rising to £1,500, and they double if you're late two years running. We keep track of your dates so you don't have to.

‍

Companies House changes

Companies House has been bringing in new rules, including identity checks for directors and people with significant control. We'll keep you in the loop and make sure your filings stay on the right side of them.

‍

More than a form-filling job

Accounts are a chance to look back and plan ahead. Once yours are done, we'll show you what went well, where money is leaking out, and how to keep more of your profit next year.

Get In Touch
When are my company accounts due?

For a private limited company, accounts are due at Companies House 9 months after your year end. Your first accounts are due 21 months after the company was set up.

What's the difference between Companies House accounts and my tax return?

Companies House accounts are the public record of how your company did. The CT600 is your corporation tax return to HMRC, worked out from those accounts. We prepare and file both.

Do sole traders need annual accounts?

Sole traders don't file accounts with Companies House, but you still need proper year-end figures for your self assessment tax return. We prepare them and file your return in one go.

Can you file dormant company accounts?

Yes. If your company isn't trading, it still needs to file dormant accounts and a confirmation statement each year. We can handle both for you.

What happens if my accounts are filed late?

Companies House fines a private company £150 if it's up to a month late, rising to £1,500 after six months. Fines double if you're late two years in a row. HMRC charges its own penalties too.
