Where are you starting from?
Two ways to reach your year end
Most of our year-end clients either kept their own books during the year, or kept nothing and come to us with a bank statement. We work with both.
You kept your books in Xero, QuickBooks or similar
We review your records against your bank statements and invoices, correct what needs correcting, then prepare your accounts and Corporation Tax return. We file through your own software, so everything stays in your account.
- Your books, accounts and returns stay in your software
- We also email you the filed accounts, the CT600 and the confirmations
- Lost something later? Ask us and we will send it again
£960 including VAT · £1,030 with your confirmation statement
You didn't keep books during the year
We build your books from scratch from your bank statements and invoices, in our own software. Every transaction is checked and posted, then we prepare and file your accounts and tax return in exactly the same way.
- You receive the trial balance, filed accounts, CT600, confirmations and the tax to pay
- The detailed ledger stays in our software; we can import it into yours where your software allows
- For next year, we recommend setting up your own software from the start

A fair price for every kind of year
A company that did not trade should not pay the same as a busy one. Consultations and extra work are quoted separately.

We build your books from bank statements: first 60 transactions included, then £3.80 each.
How it works
From the first call to tax paid on time
You always know what is happening, what we need from you and what you will pay.
- 1
First call
We look at your company, your records and your deadlines, and agree a fixed fee.
- 2
Engagement letter
You sign our letter of engagement, so the scope and price are clear in writing.
- 3
Your client portal
You get your own space in our system with a short form for your documents, and a chat with your accountant.
- 4
We review everything
We check your bank statements and invoices, ask about anything unclear, and prepare your accounts and tax return.
- 5
You approve
We go through the figures and the tax with you. Seen a different number? We discuss it. The director signs only when it is right.
- 6
We file and remind
We file with Companies House and HMRC, tell you the tax and the date to pay it, and remind you if it is still unpaid.
Is it right for you?
Made for small, simple companies
A year-end service works best when the year itself was quiet. If your business is growing, a monthly service will save you money and risk.
A good fit
- Limited companies, LLPs and small charitable companies
- A modest number of simple transactions
- Trading within the UK
- No employees on payroll
- Turnover well below the VAT threshold
Better with monthly accounting
- Turnover approaching £80,000 or more
- VAT registered, or close to it
- Sales abroad or through marketplaces
- Staff, payroll or pensions
- You want figures and tax estimates during the year
LLPs do not pay Corporation Tax: we prepare the LLP accounts, and members are taxed through Self Assessment.
The risk nobody sees until the year end
You may have passed the VAT threshold months ago
The £90,000 VAT threshold is not measured over your financial year. It is measured over any 12 months in a row, checked at the end of every month. Many companies only find out at the year end that they should have registered long before.
- VAT is then due on sales from the date you should have registered
- Your prices did not include it, so it comes out of your margin
- HMRC can add a penalty for registering late
That is why we recommend monthly accounting once your turnover nears £80,000.

A simplified check for illustration, not tax advice. HMRC also has a forward-looking test, and some sales do not count towards the threshold.
Questions
Year-end questions
Scroll over them, use the arrows or select a question.
Reviewing your records, preparing your statutory accounts for Companies House and your Corporation Tax return (CT600) for HMRC, going through the figures with you, filing both once the director has approved them, and telling you how much Corporation Tax to pay and by when. The price includes VAT. With your confirmation statement it is £1,030.
Yes. We build your books from your bank statements and invoices in our own software. The price is £960 for up to 60 bank transactions in the year, plus £3.80 including VAT for each transaction above 60, because every one has to be checked and posted.
For a private limited company, accounts are due at Companies House 9 months after the end of your financial year. Corporation Tax is usually payable 9 months and 1 day after the year end, and the CT600 return is due 12 months after the year end. We tell you your exact dates when we start.
Bank statements for the whole financial year, your sales and purchase invoices, details of any loans, assets bought and money you paid in or took out as director. If you use Xero, QuickBooks or similar software, we simply ask for access.
You receive the trial balance, the filed accounts and tax return, the HMRC and Companies House confirmations and a note of the tax to pay. The detailed ledger stays in our software. If you set up your own accounting software, we can import it there where that software allows.
Of course. You have your own space in our client portal and can message us there. Advice outside the year-end work is quoted before we start, so you always know the cost.
Once your turnover gets close to £80,000, we recommend monthly accounting instead. The VAT threshold of £90,000 is measured over any rolling 12 months, not your financial year, and missing it can cost far more than monthly bookkeeping.
