Statutory Accounts Preparation and Submission

Annual accounts are a vital tool for stakeholders like lenders, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. These financial statements offer insights into your company’s current financial health and are the foundation of the company’s tax return. Accurate, compliant, and timely preparation is essential.

Our statutory accounts are prepared using your accounting data and underlying financial documents, such as bank statements, invoices, payroll, and loan statements. We work with businesses of all sizes, adapting our approach to match your data management practices. We serve various sectors and industries, leveraging our knowledge to meet your accountancy requirements.

Annual statutory accounts need to be filed by all limited companies, including those that are dormant or not currently trading. While your annual accounts are necessary to meet your business’ statutory obligations, they can also give you valuable information for decision-making when prepared in a timely, commercially-focused way.

Help with Filing Statutory Accounts

We can help with all aspects of your company accounts, from analysing your cash position to reviewing the status of loans and the terms of your agreements with suppliers and customers.

Our annual accounts service also includes insight into how your financial position could be strengthened for the coming year. Once the statutory accounts are prepared, we then file them to Companies House in good time.

From 1 April 2027 as part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act reforms, all businesses including small and micro-entities will need to file a full set of accounts including a profit and loss account using commercial software – paper and web-based submissions will no longer be accepted.

When to File your Statutory Accounts

If you have recently started a business, your first accounts must be filed 21 months after registration with Companies House. Thereafter, you must file nine months after the end of your company’s financial year. Your accounts must be approved by your company directors.
