Statutory accounts consist of a balance sheet, a profit and loss account, and a directors’ report.

A balance sheet provides a snapshot of your business’s financial position, detailing your assets, liabilities, and equity.

There isn’t a fixed date for filing your limited company tax return. Instead, Companies House determines your year-end based on your company’s incorporation date. Your accounts will be due exactly one year from the last day of the month your company was incorporated, so make sure to check your records.

We strive to complete all work within six weeks of receiving your paperwork, though it’s often finished much sooner!

Possibly. If you need your annual accounts completed urgently, we may be able to offer a “fast track” service for an additional fee. Please get in touch for details.

Yes. If you’ve used a previous accountant, we’ll need any relevant paperwork from them. The most common delays are waiting for documents from your previous accountant or missing information from you.

To avoid delays, please send us all necessary paperwork and ensure any outstanding bills with your previous accountant are settled.

The paperwork you’ll usually need for a limited company tax return is:

-> Sales invoices or records of sales
-> income received
-> Purchase invoices
-> Receipts for expenses
-> Mileage logs or fuel receipts
-> Mobile phone bills
-> Business bank statements
-> Lease or HP agreements in the company name
-> VAT returns if your business is VAT registered
-> Anything else you think is relevant!

Our annual accounts service does not cover limited company accounts or corporation tax returns that require additional forms or supplementary pages. The only form included in the corporation tax submission is the CT600.

This service also excludes preparation of supplementary pages for: loans to participators by close companies, controlled foreign companies (including Bank Levy), group and consortium, insurance, charities and community amateur sports clubs, tonnage tax, corporate venturing schemes, cross-border royalties, supplementary charges for ring-fenced trades, or disclosure of tax avoidance schemes.

The cost depends on the type of service you need and how you provide your paperwork and bank statements. Our services start from just £100 for filing a corporation tax return only.

Don’t Leave it Until the Last Minute

If your business has been registered at Companies House for a few years, you’ll know the uneasy feeling that sets in as the financial year draws to a close.

Most limited company directors are already busy enough without having to carve out time for accounts. If you’ve ever delayed your accounts until the last possible moment, you’re far from alone.

But you don’t have to leave it to the wire. Oakstone Accountants can handle your accounts for you, so you won’t need to stay up late rushing to meet deadlines.

Never Miss Your Deadline

Your company’s accounting period can end sooner than you expect, and keeping track of key deadlines can be tricky especially when you’re also managing self-assessment accounts and tax.

Missing a deadline is easy, but it can lead to penalties from HMRC. If you’re unsure about meeting your deadlines, it’s wise to hire someone who will.

At Oakstone Accountants, we ensure your company accounts are submitted on time and handle any queries or communications with HMRC or Companies House promptly.

Save Valuable Time

Company directors juggle a wide range of responsibilities. Beyond running the business, you also handle marketing, sales, payroll, and your own accounting and legal obligations.

For many business owners, handing over their financial duties to an expert is a valuable way to free up time and reduce stress at year-end. If you don’t have the time to manage admin at the close of your financial year, we can help.

Our service saves you precious time, allowing you to focus on running your business and driving profit without interruption.

Boost your Tax Efficiency

Being tax-efficient legally paying the least amount of tax possible can save you hundreds of pounds each year. But if you’re not familiar with tax rules, you might miss out on claiming allowable expenses.

Maybe you’re unsure where you can reduce your tax bill, or you simply don’t have time to review all your business expenses. In either case, Oakstone Accountants can help.

We’ll ensure your business runs as tax-efficiently as possible and that all relevant expenses are properly filed in your accounts.

Receive Your Accounts Faster

We understand that waiting for an important service can be stressful. The last thing you need is to hand over your accounts to a company that takes months to deliver and doesn’t keep you informed.

With Oakstone Accountants, you’ll receive a prompt, reliable service. Once we have your information, we get to work immediately. Depending on the complexity, accounts are usually completed within six weeks, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

If you have any questions, our team is always ready to help. You can contact the accountant handling your accounts directly, so you’ll always speak to someone who knows your situation inside out.

Accounts Filed Accurately

Filing your company’s accounts can be complex. You’ll need to provide accurate information from your accounting period, including a balance sheet and profit and loss account. Your statutory accounts must comply with either the International Financial Reporting Standards or the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Even with software, it’s easy to get confused. Being an expert in your field doesn’t make you an accounting expert, and mistakes could lead to fines.

Our accountants are fully experienced in filing limited company accounts. We know exactly what’s required, ensuring all relevant information is included and your accounts are filed with accuracy.

Let Oakstone Accountants Submit Your Annual Accounts Accurately and On Time

If your limited company is registered with Companies House in the UK, you must prepare annual accounts for HMRC each year. These accounts report your company’s financial activity and determine how much corporation tax you owe.

You could file accounts yourself, but mistakes are easy, especially with constantly changing tax rules. Learning accounting software can increase errors if you don’t fully understand it. Incorrect or late submissions can lead to HMRC penalties, and even on-time filings may result in overpaid tax if you’re not tax-efficient.

Outsourcing your tax returns to Oakstone Accountants is often quicker, easier, and ensures accuracy. We’ll help you gather the right information and submit all necessary documents to Companies House and HMRC.

When you use our limited company accounts service, you can expect:

--> A full set of accounts prepared professionally
--> Thorough review of all details
--> Creation of your company tax return using our award-winning accounting software
--> Submission to HMRC and Companies House on your behalf

Our one-off limited company accounts service is perfect if you value affordability and speed but still want a qualified accountant to handle the work. For more comprehensive support, our subscription-based monthly management accounts service provides an ongoing accountancy team that delivers tailored advice as they get to know your business.
