Financial Compliance Support

Financial Compliance Support helps you stay on top of HMRC and Companies House obligations without constantly worrying about deadlines or paperwork. It keeps your records accurate, your submissions on time, and your compliance position clear, with straightforward guidance on what needs doing and when.

More information

What financial compliance support covers

Financial compliance is not one task. It is a set of linked routines that keep your bookkeeping, reporting, and submissions aligned throughout the year.

  • Regular checks that bookkeeping is complete and correctly coded
  • Bank and control account reconciliations to reduce errors before filing
  • VAT return preparation and submission, with support on VAT schemes where relevant
  • Payroll compliance, including RTI submissions and year end requirements
  • Self Assessment support for sole traders, landlords, and directors (where in scope)
  • Limited company compliance, including statutory accounts and Corporation Tax returns
  • Clear deadline tracking so key dates are not missed
  • Practical support with HMRC and Companies House correspondence when it relates to filings

When this service is the right fit

This service suits time poor business owners who want confidence that compliance is handled properly, not patched together at the last minute. It is especially useful if:

  • you are moving from ad hoc bookkeeping to a consistent monthly or quarterly routine
  • you have registered for VAT or are close to the threshold
  • you are taking on staff and need PAYE set up correctly
  • you are a director and want to separate personal tax tasks from company obligations
  • you have had reminders from HMRC or Companies House and want to prevent repeats

How the service is delivered

Work typically starts by confirming what you must file (based on your business type) and setting a filing calendar. Your records are then kept up to date using cloud accounting, with regular reviews to catch issues early.

Before each submission, figures are checked, any questions are raised in plain English, and you approve what is being filed. After submission, you receive confirmation and a clear record of what was filed and when.

Ongoing value and what happens next

Compliance becomes easier when it is consistent. Ongoing support focuses on keeping your numbers clean, maintaining an audit trail, and reducing avoidable risk.

As your business changes, the compliance approach is adjusted, for example when you register for VAT, hire, switch to a limited company, or change how you pay yourself. If HMRC queries arise, you get support responding with the right information and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you need from me to keep everything compliant?
Usually access to your accounting software, bank feeds, and timely information on sales, costs, and any big changes. You will also need to approve filings before submission. A simple monthly or quarterly checklist keeps this efficient.
Can you help if I am behind with bookkeeping or filings?
Yes, support can start with a catch up to bring records up to date and identify what is outstanding. Once things are current, the focus shifts to a steady routine so deadlines are met going forward.
Do you deal with HMRC letters and queries?
Yes, where it relates to your filings and compliance position, support can include drafting responses and providing evidence. If an issue is complex or outside routine compliance, you will be told what options are available and what is needed next.
Is this service suitable for both sole traders and limited companies?
Yes. The compliance tasks differ, but the aim is the same: accurate records, correct calculations, and on time submissions. The service is scoped around your business structure and obligations.
Can you work with my existing accounting software?
In most cases, yes. If you already use cloud software, it can usually be kept in place to avoid disruption. If changes are needed for better compliance and reporting, you will get clear recommendations and a simple plan.
