Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax

Accounts and tax returns for sole traders, partnerships, LLPs and limited companies, filed on time with HMRC and Companies House.

Every business has to produce accounts, and the deadlines come with penalties if you miss them. We prepare your accounts from your records, file them, and then sit down with you to explain what the numbers are telling you.

Lenders and mortgage providers will nearly always ask to see accounts, so it pays to have them done properly.

Common questions

What's the difference between accounts and a tax return?

Accounts show how your business did over the year. The tax return uses those figures to work out the tax due. Limited companies file both, while sole traders put their figures on a Self Assessment return.

Do small companies have to file full accounts?

No. Micro-entities and small companies can file simpler accounts at Companies House, so less of your information is on public record. Companies House filing is also moving to software only, which we handle for you.

I've missed a deadline. What should I do?

Call us as soon as you can. Penalties grow the longer things are left, so the priority is getting the accounts filed. If you had a reasonable excuse, we can help you appeal the penalty.
