As a limited company director, you are legally required to prepare annual statutory accounts and file them with Companies House and HMRC. We handle the entire process from start to finish — ensuring your accounts are accurate, compliant with UK accounting standards, and filed well ahead of time.
Filing deadlines
Missing your Companies House filing deadline results in automatic penalties, escalating the longer the accounts remain outstanding.
For a company with a 31 March year end, accounts must be filed with Companies House by 31 December. We manage all deadlines on your behalf and begin work well in advance.
What we prepare
We prepare your full set of statutory financial statements in line with UK accounting standards (FRS 105 for micro-entities or FRS 102 Section 1A for small companies), including the profit and loss account, balance sheet, and all required notes. We also prepare the director's report where required and file directly with both Companies House and HMRC.
Year-end tax planning
As part of our service, we review your financial position at year end and advise on tax planning opportunities — including dividend planning, pension contributions, director salary optimisation, and timing of expenditure — to help you manage your tax liability effectively before the year closes.
Small company thresholds
Your company's size determines your reporting requirements. For 2025/26, a small company has turnover of no more than £10.2 million, a balance sheet total of no more than £5.1 million, and no more than 50 employees. Micro-entity thresholds are turnover up to £632,000, balance sheet up to £316,000, and up to 10 employees. Most of our clients qualify for simplified small company reporting, reducing the information that needs to be publicly filed at Companies House.
