Limited company accounts, done properly
Year-end accounts, your corporation tax return and everything Companies House needs, prepared accurately, filed on time, and used as a chance to keep your tax bill exactly where it should be.
One firm for everything your company has to file
Running a limited company means a yearly cycle of statutory accounts, a corporation tax return and filings at Companies House, each with its own HMRC deadline and penalties attached. We take the lot off your plate and make sure it is right.
You deal with the same small team every time, not a call centre and not a different face each year. We are Xero Platinum Partners, in the top 2% of practices, so your numbers stay live through the year rather than being pieced together months after your year end.
And we do not just file and disappear. We speak to most clients several times a year, because the conversations that actually save you money happen long before the accounts are due.
- Limited companies of every size, from first year to well established
- LLPs and partnerships
- Contractors and owner-managed businesses

We look for the tax you should not be paying
Anyone can fill in the forms. The value is in what happens around them. As we prepare your accounts we are looking at how you take money out of the company, what the business can legitimately claim, and the allowances that are easy to miss.
That might be the balance of salary and dividends, pension contributions paid by the company, the small tax-free benefits you are allowed to give yourself and your team, or lending between your own companies to fund an investment without an unnecessary tax hit. None of it is exotic. It is knowing the rules and applying them to your situation.
- Salary and dividend planning reviewed every year
- Legitimate expenses and allowances you might be missing
- Tax-free trivial benefits used properly
- Director and inter-company loans handled correctly
Simple from start to filing
Get your books straight
We set you up on Xero, or tidy up what you already have, so the figures are accurate all year and not just at year end.
We prepare your accounts and tax
We draft your statutory accounts and corporation tax return from your records and check everything ties up.
We talk it through
Before anything is filed we go through the numbers with you, explain the tax, and flag anything worth doing differently.
We file everything
Once you are happy we submit to Companies House and HMRC, well inside the deadlines, and tell you exactly what to pay and when.
Good to know
When are my company accounts and corporation tax due?
Statutory accounts are normally due at Companies House nine months after your year end. Corporation tax is due nine months and one day after your year end, and the corporation tax return itself twelve months after. We track all of these for you so nothing is filed late.
What do you need from me?
Ideally access to your bookkeeping, which Xero makes easy, plus anything not in the records such as new loans, asset purchases or changes in shareholders. If your books are behind, we can bring them up to date as part of the work.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, and it is more straightforward than people expect. We handle the handover and request your records through the normal professional process, so there is very little for you to do.
Do you deal with the new Companies House identity checks?
Yes. Identity verification for directors and people with significant control is now part of running a company, and we will guide you through it as part of looking after your filings.
