Year-End Accounts Preparation
Statutory accounts that tell you something useful, not just keep Companies House happy.
Who this is for
Limited companies turning over roughly £150k–£10m, especially owner-managed businesses where the founder still wants to understand what the accounts mean.
Statutory accounts, prepared properly — and used as a planning tool.
Most accountants treat year-end accounts as a tax-filing chore. We treat them as the most honest annual look at your business — and we use that look to set up the year ahead.
We prepare full statutory accounts for limited companies under FRS 102 and FRS 105, file them with Companies House and HMRC, and walk you through what the numbers actually say. If your accounts are telling you something — declining margin, working-capital drift, a debtor problem — we will tell you, in plain English, before another year goes by.

Frequently asked questions
When are limited company year-end accounts due?
Statutory accounts must be filed at Companies House within 9 months of your company's accounting reference date, and your CT600 corporation tax return is due 12 months after the period end (with the tax itself payable 9 months and 1 day after the period end for most companies).
Do you handle FRS 105 micro-entity accounts?
Yes. We prepare accounts under both FRS 105 (micro-entity) and FRS 102 / 102 Section 1A (small companies), and advise on which framework actually serves you best — they are not always interchangeable for finance-raising or M&A purposes.
Can you take over from my current accountant mid-year?
Yes. We handle the professional clearance and information request from your previous accountant. The process is straightforward and we manage it for you.
