Questions before you enquire
Is this service suitable for my company?
This service is aimed at small UK limited companies, including owner-managed businesses. Tell us if your company is dormant, part of a group or needs a statutory audit or specialist reporting, so we can confirm suitability and the support available.
What records will you need?
We will confirm the list for your company. It typically includes bank statements, sales and purchase records, payroll information, loan and director transactions, and previous accounts. We can discuss records held in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or another system. Read our bookkeeping preparation guide.
When are my company accounts due?
Established private companies normally file annual accounts at Companies House within nine months of their financial year end. First accounts and changed year ends can have different deadlines. Company Tax Return and tax-payment dates are separate. Check your company’s actual dates and the official accounts and tax deadlines.
Can you help if my deadline is close?
Contact us with your filing date and the current state of your records. We will assess availability and the work needed before agreeing a timetable. We cannot promise completion until we have reviewed the requirements.
Can I switch from my current accountant?
Yes, we can discuss taking over your company accounts. We will explain onboarding, the records needed and how to arrange a professional handover with your current accountant, with your permission.
