Year-End Accounts Prepared and Filed, Done Right
Every limited company must prepare a set of annual accounts at the end of each financial year and file them with Companies House and HMRC. These accounts, sometimes called statutory accounts, summarise your income, expenditure, assets, and liabilities for the year. They form the basis for your Corporation Tax return and are a matter of public record. Trusted Figures prepares your accounts to the appropriate standard, reviews them with you, and handles the filing so that both Companies House and HMRC receive everything they need, on time.

Common questions
Limited companies must file their accounts at Companies House within 9 months of the accounting reference date (year end). For Corporation Tax purposes, the CT600 must be filed with HMRC within 12 months of the year end, and any tax owed must be paid within 9 months and one day. We track these deadlines and give you plenty of notice.
Annual accounts are filed at Companies House and are a statutory summary of the company's finances. The Corporation Tax return (CT600) is filed with HMRC and calculates the tax the company owes on its profits. Although they are separate documents, they are closely linked, and we prepare and file both as part of this service.
Yes. All limited companies must file accounts at Companies House regardless of whether they made a profit or a loss. A loss-making year still requires a CT600, and the loss can often be carried forward to offset future profits, which is something we will factor in when preparing your return.
Yes. We can prepare overdue accounts and catch up on missed filings. Companies House and HMRC both allow catch-up submissions, though penalties may have accrued. We will calculate what is owed, prepare the missing accounts, and agree a plan with the relevant authorities where needed.
