Year End Accounts Service
Expert Filing & Tax Planning
Missing a Companies House deadline costs you £150 minimum – and that’s just the beginning. Late Corporation Tax filings bring HMRC penalties on top, and repeated delays can even cause your company to be struck off completely. But here’s the thing: your year end accounts don’t have to be a last-minute scramble or a constant source of worry.
At A & Co Accountants, our team of expert accountants takes the entire year end accounts process off your plate. From preparation through to filing with Companies House and HMRC, we handle everything with professional accuracy and care. You get a qualified accountant who knows your business, transparent monthly fees with no surprises, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your compliance is sorted and your accounts are done right.

Whether you’re a contractor working through your limited company, a freelancer managing multiple income streams, or a small business owner focused on growth, our end of year accounts services give you back the time to focus on what you do best – running your business.

We Connect to Your Accounting Software
We use FreeAgent, Xero, or QuickBooks to connect to your accounting software and get secure access to your records. If you’re not using accounting software yet, your dedicated accountant will help you set up and understand the FreeAgent system, which comes at zero cost with your monthly package. This gives us everything we need to provide comprehensive end of year accounts support.

Your dedicated accountant reviews your transactions, prepares your statutory accounts, and calculates your Corporation Tax liability. We take the time to get complete visibility into your business, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Our year end accounts services cover every detail, so nothing gets missed.
You Review and Approve
After preparing your accounts, we’ll send them to you for approval. We’re happy to explain everything to you, highlight important insights, and answer any questions you have.
We Handle All the Filing
Once you’ve approved the accounts, we file everything with Companies House and HMRC, meeting every deadline. You don’t need to touch a single government portal or worry about submission formats. It’s all taken care of professionally as part of our comprehensive year end accounts service.
We Plan Ahead Together
With A & Co Accountants, you’ll receive strategic recommendations regarding your accounts management and filing for the year ahead so you can prepare better. This means you’re not just compliant, you’re strategically positioned for success. Our ongoing end of year accounts support continues throughout the year, not just when deadlines loom.
What Are Year End Accounts and Why Are They Important?
All limited companies in the UK must file their year-end accounts with Companies House and HMRC annually. These should include your Profit and Loss Statement, your Balance Sheet and details of your accounting policies. Filing your accounts is not just a legal obligation; it helps you better understand your business performance and secure your company finances so you can grow at scale.
Complete Year End Accounts Preparation and Filing
When filing your year-end accounts, you have deadlines to meet:
- Companies House filing within 9 months of your accounting year end
- Corporation Tax payment within 9 months and 1 day of your accounting period end
- CT600 filing with HMRC within 12 months of your year end
Our year end accounts services ensure you never miss these critical dates.
Consequences of Late Filing
Failing to submit on time automatically triggers penalties starting at £150 from Companies House. In addition to this amount, you’ll face HMRC penalties for late Corporation Tax returns. Delays lead to escalating penalties, and persistent failures can ultimately result in your company being removed from the official register altogether. This is exactly why reliable end of year accounts support matters so much.
Tax Planning and Savings with Our Service
We offer comprehensive tax planning services to keep your business running tax-efficiently. Our tax experts continuously look for legitimate opportunities to reduce your Corporation Tax liability. It’s not about avoiding tax; it’s about keeping most of your hard-earned money. We ensure you take advantage of every relief, allowance, and strategy available to you under UK tax law.
How We Help You Save
At A & Co Accountants, we ensure you claim every business expense you’re entitled to. We uncover deductions that many business owners never knew were available to them. For example, you’re allowed to claim capital allowances on business assets like vehicles, computers, and machinery through the Annual Investment Allowance and other schemes. We help limited company directors choose the best combination of salary and dividends to minimise personal and corporate tax liabilities based on their individual situations.
Our comprehensive tax planning service also offers advice on reducing Corporation Tax through pension contributions. If you’re a business focusing on innovation or new product development, we help identify whether you qualify for Research and Development tax credits. Many business owners assume R&D credits only apply to scientific companies, but the criteria are broader than most realise.
Real Results for Real Businesses
We have years of experience working with limited companies like yours and saving them thousands through strategic tax planning. With our advice, some contractors restructured their remuneration packages and saved over £3,000 annually. These aren’t theoretical savings – they’re real money that stays in your business or your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions About Year End Accounts
What's a CT600?
The CT600 form is used by limited companies to file their Corporation Tax return with HMRC. This document outlines your company’s profits, computes your Corporation Tax obligation, and provides essential information regarding your accounting period and any tax reliefs you have claimed. Our year-end accounts services include CT600 filing processes that ensure accuracy and on-time submission.
When do I need to file my company accounts with Companies House?
You are required to submit your annual accounts to Companies House within 9 months following the conclusion of your accounting year. However, any Corporation Tax due must be settled within 9 months and 1 day after the end of your accounting period. Failing to meet these deadlines triggers penalties. Our end of year accounts services ensure you meet every deadline without stress.
Do I still need to file if my company didn't trade?
Yes, absolutely. Even if yours is a dormant company, you need to stay compliant and file accounts with Companies House within 9 months of your year end. The filing requirement doesn’t disappear just because you weren’t trading. We handle dormant company filings as part of our service, ensuring you stay compliant even during inactive periods.
What documents do I need to provide for the year end service?
If you’re using cloud accounting software like FreeAgent, Xero, or QuickBooks, we can access most of what we need directly from the tool through secure connections. However, we may also ask for your business bank statements to verify transactions, payroll details, business loan details, VAT return details, invoices for major purchases, or information about dividends paid during the year. Your dedicated accountant will inform you what we need to prepare your accounts when you partner with us.
Can A & Co Accountants help with tax planning as part of the year end service?
Absolutely – this is what makes us stand out from the pack. Tax planning comes as standard with our all-inclusive monthly packages without any additional charges.
