Company accounts
Every limited company files accounts every year — trading or not, profitable or not — and Companies House penalties for lateness start at £150 and escalate automatically, doubling if you're late two years running. Our company accounts service is the calm version: prepared to the right standard, explained in plain English, filed on time at both Companies House and HMRC from £299.
How we handle it
Micro-entity or small-company standards, first-year accounts with their odd long first period, dormant AA02s at £49, group situations — the fee is published for each, and the director's summary that comes with the accounts tells you the three things that matter: what you made, what you owe, and what to decide next.

Terms you'll meet along the way
Statutory accounts
The formal year-end accounts every company must file at Companies House — publicly visible, prepared to FRS standards.
FRS 105 / FRS 102 1A
The two accounting standards small UK companies use: FRS 105 for micro-entities (minimal disclosure), FRS 102 1A for small companies (fuller picture).
CT600
The corporation tax return filed with HMRC alongside a tax computation — due 12 months after year end, though the tax is due at 9 months and a day.
Accounting reference date
Your company's official year-end date, set at incorporation (changeable within limits). Accounts are due 9 months after it.
Marginal relief
The taper between the 19% small-profits rate and the 25% main rate for profits between £50k and £250k — with an effective 26.5% rate inside the band.
Associated companies
Companies under common control split the £50k/£250k thresholds between them — the rule that catches owners of more than one company.
Full expensing
100% first-year deduction on qualifying new plant and machinery for companies — timing purchases around year end matters.
Company accounts: your questions answered
When are my company accounts due?
Nine months after your accounting reference date — except your first accounts, due 21 months after incorporation. Companies House emails reminders to your registered email, but they arrive whether or not anyone reads them; our deadline tracking is the version that actually prevents the £150.
What's the difference between micro-entity and small company accounts?
Thresholds and disclosure. Micro-entities (roughly under £1m turnover) file minimal FRS 105 accounts; small companies file fuller FRS 102 1A accounts. Less disclosure isn't automatically better — lenders and some customers read filed accounts — so we recommend based on who'll look at yours, not just what's cheapest.
The company didn't trade this year — do I still need accounts?
Yes, but the dormant version (form AA02) is short and £49 with us. Genuine dormancy has strict rules — almost any transaction breaks it — so we check first; filing dormant accounts for a company that technically traded is a problem worth avoiding.
My company hasn't traded — do I still need to file?
Yes. Even dormant companies must file accounts at Companies House and usually a confirmation statement. Our dormant package (£99) handles it all so you avoid penalties for a company that isn't even trading.
Which accounting standard will my accounts use?
Most small companies file micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 or small-company accounts under FRS 102 Section 1A. We pick the right one for your size and circumstances — it affects what's disclosed publicly at Companies House, and we'll explain the trade-offs.
What rate of corporation tax will my company pay?
19% on profits up to £50,000, 25% above £250,000, and marginal relief in between — an effective rate that climbs gradually. Associated companies split those thresholds, which catches many owners with more than one company. We calculate it precisely.
The payment is due before the return — is that right?
Yes, oddly: payment is due 9 months and 1 day after year end, but the return itself isn't due until 12 months. We prepare everything well before the payment date so you know the bill with time to plan.
What actually is a confirmation statement?
An annual snapshot confirming that what Companies House holds about your company — directors, shareholders, PSCs, SIC codes, registered office — is correct. It replaced the old annual return. There's no tax in it and no accounts; it's purely about the register being right.
When is mine due?
Within 14 days of the end of your 12-month review period, which usually runs from your incorporation anniversary or your last statement. Dormant companies file too. If you're not sure of your date, tell us your company number and we'll look it up — it takes a minute.
My company did nothing all year — why are accounts still required?
Because every registered company files accounts, trading or not. The dormant version (form AA02) is mercifully short — essentially a balance sheet showing unchanged share capital — but skipping it brings the same penalties and strike-off risk as any missed accounts.
When are dormant accounts due?
Nine months after your financial year end — or 21 months after incorporation for your first set. Late means an automatic £150 penalty rising to £1,500 the longer it drags, so the reminder we set is genuinely the most valuable part of the service.
