Annual Accounts
Statutory accounts prepared and filed with Companies House.
Is this you?
Who this is for
- Your company's first year end is approaching and you're not sure what's due

- Companies House penalties have stung you before
- You're a sole trader who needs proper year-end accounts for a mortgage or loan

- Filed with Companies House and attached to your CT600 for HMRC
- Confirmation statement tracked and filed
- A plain-English review meeting: what the numbers say about your business
- Sole trader accounts for Self-Assessment, lenders and landlords
- Bookkeeping tidy-up included where records need it
How it works
Three steps, then it's off your desk.
Records in
We collect your bookkeeping — or do it — and reconcile everything.
Draft & review
Accounts drafted, then a review call: performance, tax position, what to change next year.
Approve & file
You sign, we file with Companies House and HMRC, confirmations to your inbox.
Deadlines & penalties
Private companies must file accounts within 9 months of year end (first accounts: 21 months from incorporation). Companies House penalties start at £150 and rise to £1,500 — and double if you're late two years running. Directors are personally responsible; persistent failure risks the company being struck off.
Common questions
Annual Accounts, answered.
Thresholds based on turnover, balance sheet and employees decide which regime applies. Micro-entity accounts are simpler and disclose less publicly — we prepare whichever fits and explain the trade-offs.
Yes — dormant accounts and a confirmation statement are still due every year. They're quick, but missing them incurs the same penalties.
Yes. Catch-up work on late or messy accounts is one of the most common jobs we take on. We'll quote a fixed fee for the whole clean-up upfront.
If you want. Some clients hand us a shoebox annually; most move to simple cloud bookkeeping we maintain monthly — it makes year end faster and cheaper.
