This service suits owner-managed limited companies that want confidence their statutory accounts are correct and filed on time. It is especially useful if you are approaching a deadline, filing your first set of accounts, have changed your year end, or have previously had accounts rejected.
How the filing process works
- Gather information: you provide bookkeeping reports, bank and loan balances, and any year-end details (assets, payroll summaries, dividends, director loan movements).
- Year-end review: we check the numbers, apply necessary accounting adjustments, and make sure the accounts meet Companies House presentation rules.
- Drafts and approval: you receive a draft to review, with any queries explained in plain English.
- Submission: once approved, the accounts are filed and you receive confirmation when Companies House accepts them.
What happens after the accounts are filed
You receive a final set of filed accounts and a clear record of the submission. If you want ongoing support, the figures can be used to streamline related year-end work, such as corporation tax, and to highlight practical areas to improve record-keeping for next year.
