About

What is Accounts Preparation?​

Accounts preparation can be a time consuming exercise for a business. Year-end accounts are a statutory necessity whilst management accounts, usually monthly or quarterly, are critical for effective financial management.

You choose the level of involvement you want us to have. We can supply you with a full accounts preparation package of regular management accounts and year-end accounts. Alternatively, we can simply provide you with a timely, cost-effective year–end accounts service.

How It Works

What we do for you

Whether you are completing your own bookkeeping or we are completing this for you, we will compile your end-of-year accounts using these records. Before submission, we will discuss the accounts with you and ensure that every business expense has been captured accordingly and that the accounts show a true reflection of the business’ position.

Once you approve, the accounts will be submitted to both HMRC and Companies House. As a standard part of our accounts preparation service, your company’s tax return (CT600) will be submitted to HMRC alongside the accounts so you can rest assured that all processes and deadlines are covered. Remember, there are different deadlines for accounts submission and corporation tax payments; 9 months after the end of your accounting period for accounts to be submitted to Companies House and for corporation tax payments. 12 months after the end of your accounting period for the CT600 filing.

FAQs

Got a question?

Should I have a separate bank account?

Yes.  For LTD companies it is a legal requirement.  For sole traders, although not a legal requirement we strongly advise you have a separate bank account otherwise your personal and business expenditure will become mixed together which can create a number of problems.

What are the deadlines for companies?

Companies have their own financial year end given by Companies House, this is usually twelve months after they initially set up. They then have 9 months from their financial year end to file their full accounts with companies house and 12 months to file their corporation tax return and accounts with HMRC.

Can I switch to Grace Bellairs Accountants?

Of Course! We will discuss with you the best time in the year to switch to us. This could be during the financial year should you require, but generally it is best to switch at the end of the financial year.

Does Grace Bellairs Accountants offer fixed fees?

Yes!  All of our fees are agreed with you upfront and are split over 12 equal monthly payments.  These are paid by you via a standing order.  Fees will only change if you change the level of service

Why should I have an accountant?

Whilst it is not a legal requirement to have an accountant file your statutory documents you may wish to consider a few things such as whether you have the time to dedicate to your accounts as any limitation in knowledge will cost you money, accountant’s fees are tax deductible and it is probably best for you to focus on the things that make you money.

Do you offer company secretarial services?

Yes we do. For a flat annual fee of £72 we can offer our address as your registered office. This means that your personal address is not on the public register. We can also provide a company formation service for a one off £150.
