Accounting
Annual accounts, tax returns and statutory filings handled carefully, with a team that explains what the numbers mean.
Every business has core accounting obligations. Limited companies prepare statutory accounts for Companies House and a corporation tax return for HMRC. Sole traders and partners report their profits through self assessment. Employers run payroll, and VAT registered businesses file regular returns. Getting these right and on time is the foundation everything else rests on.
We provide this core service to businesses of all sizes across the UK, with cloud accounting and a dedicated point of contact.
We agree the exact scope with you and set it out in writing. Depending on your business it can include:
Access to your accounting software or bookkeeping records, bank statements, details of loans and finance agreements, a list of anything you owed or were owed at the year end, and information about any assets bought or sold. We send a checklist in good time so you know what to gather.
We go through the accounts with you before anything is filed, explain the profit, tax and balance sheet in plain terms, and point out anything worth thinking about for the year ahead. Many clients add management accounts during the year so that year end is a confirmation rather than a surprise.
We track filing and payment dates for each client and remind you of what is due. Deadlines vary depending on your year end and business type, so we set them out at the start of our work together.
We quote a fixed fee for an agreed scope, usually payable monthly. The fee reflects your structure, transaction volumes and the condition of the records. If something new comes up outside that scope, we discuss it before starting the extra work.
Limited companies of all sizes, sole traders and partnerships who want their annual compliance dealt with properly, landlords with rental accounts to prepare, and businesses who have outgrown doing it themselves. If your previous accounts were prepared elsewhere, we will review them as part of taking over so that the figures carry forward correctly.
If your records need work before the accounts can be prepared, we will tell you before starting and agree whether you or we will put them right.
Yes. Year end accounting sits naturally alongside bookkeeping, VAT returns and payroll, and many clients add management accounts or tax planning. Combining services means records are prepared with the year end in mind, which usually reduces the work needed later. Each element is listed separately in your engagement letter so the scope stays clear.
