Limited Company Year-End Accounts

What the service covers

Year-end accounts are more than a formality. They are the statutory record of your company’s performance and position for the year, and they underpin key filings.

You can expect:

• Statutory accounts prepared in the required format for a UK limited company.
• Review of your bookkeeping for common year-end issues (accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, director’s loan, dividends).
• Adjustments agreed with you so the figures reflect what actually happened in the year.
• A clear summary of profit, tax-relevant items, and balance sheet positions.
• Accounts ready for Companies House submission and to support your Corporation Tax return.
• Practical guidance on what to improve for a smoother year-end next time.

Who this is for

This service is suited to owner-managed limited companies that want year-end peace of mind without second-guessing compliance. It is especially useful if:

• You have been doing the bookkeeping but want a professional year-end review.
• You pay yourself via salary and dividends and want these reflected correctly.
• You have VAT, payroll, or multiple income streams and need tidy, consistent year-end figures.
• You are applying for finance, tendering, or need accounts you can confidently share.

How the process works

You share access to your accounting software (or provide records if you are not on cloud software), plus key documents such as bank statements, loan statements, payroll summaries, and details of any dividends or director transactions.

The year-end is then prepared in stages:

1. Records review and questions list so gaps are identified early.
2. Year-end adjustments and reconciliations, agreed with you.
3. Draft accounts issued for review with plain-English explanations.
4. Finalisation once approved, then submission where required.

Timing and what you need to provide

Timescales depend on how complete your records are and how quickly queries can be answered. If you are close to a filing deadline, prioritising the most important missing items early usually avoids last-minute pressure.

To keep things moving, it helps to have up to date bookkeeping, reconciled bank accounts, and notes on any unusual items during the year (large purchases, loans, grants, new vehicles, or significant changes in income).

What happens after the accounts are finalised

Once the accounts are complete, you can use them to support tax reporting and business decisions. You will also have a clearer picture of retained profits, dividends paid, and any amounts owed to or by directors, so you can plan drawings, tax payments, and next year’s structure with fewer surprises.
