Armitt have done my accounts for many years, and have always been very helpful, easy to work with, and quick to check details with me. Mike is brilliant to work with. I can recommend the team for the thoroughly professional job they always do.

A&C are an excellent accountancy practice. The Joseph Cox Charity has utilised their services for many years and as a fully audited multi million pound charity it is very important that our finance partners are best in class.

I spoke to Steph and asked her for help understanding the CGT and IHT implications of a property transaction I was planning. The following day, she kindly provided me with the information I needed. It was clearly explained and covered all the points I'd raised. I found her to be very friendly and polite, and was impressed with the quality of service she provided.

We decided to go with AC Accountants for our start up business CarLer and so far we are very happy with the decision. Paul and Ann are fast at responding, have good attention to detail, and very good at explaining the whole process.

AI located A&C as a good choice for property accounting advice, especially as they offer an initial free consultation. After an first contact, a free consultation was quickly arranged and one of their staff, Steph Chiu was very helpful on the call and in a follow up email, although in the end she felt another company was better placed to offer us more specialist advice.

I have had one or two accountants in my life and I can say that A&C are friendly and professional but so were the others when the sun was shining. However in this pandemic more truer colours have been revealed in so many ways and it would have been oh so easy to adopt an attitude of 'every man for himself' which I have experienced from others long long ago, but as a breath of welcome fresh air I have found that A&C went above and beyond and couldn't have been any more supportive. A&C have shown their true colours and in my experience warrant five stars and I for one owe them my gratitude. I think this is my second google review ever, which says it all really as sometimes you just want to give credit to where credit is due.

How can we help?

Year-end accounts provide a summary of your business’s financial activity over a 12-month period. They include a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet, and several other reports, offering a snapshot of your financial health.

They’re required for limited companies and certain partnerships, although all businesses can benefit from preparing a set of accounts for financial planning and tax purposes.

But regardless of whether you’re just trying to meet your end-of-year compliance requirements or you want a better grasp of your financial situation, we can help. We offer a comprehensive year-end accounting service, which includes:

  • Financial Statements: Preparation of profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
  • Company Tax Return: Accurate and timely submission of your corporate tax returns.
  • Management Accounts: Regular financial reporting to help you make informed business decisions.
  • Year-End Adjustments: Adjustments for depreciation, prepayments, and accruals to ensure accurate financial reporting.
  • Compliance: Ensure all reports meet HMRC and Companies House standards and deadlines.
  • Tax Advice: Expert advice on tax planning and financial strategy.

We’ll make sure your accounts are accurate, up-to-date, and ready for submission.

You can expect regular communication from the start. We really get to know our clients and use the latest accounting technology, allowing a seamless process throughout.

If you need help understanding the data, we can break it down into meaningful chunks. We can also provide extra reports or summaries to summarise the information in a format you prefer.

FAQs

What are year-end accounts?

Year-end accounts are formal financial reports that summarise a company’s performance over its accounting period. They provide key insights, such as profitability, assets, and liabilities. You may hear them referred to as statutory accounts.

Who needs to prepare year-end accounts?

Year-end accounts are mandatory for all limited companies in the UK and partnerships registered with Companies House. There are slightly different requirements depending on the size of the company, and whether it’s active or dormant. We can advise if you’re unsure.

What if I'm a sole trader?

Sole traders are not required to file annual accounts. However, you should still keep detailed accounting records (including records of sales and expenses), and report on your financial performance as part of an annual self-assessment tax return.

Can you help with tax planning?

Yes. Alongside preparing your annual accounts, we can provide tailored advice on corporation tax planning to minimise liabilities and maximise opportunities.

What happens if I miss the deadline?

Late submission of your annual accounts can result in penalties from HMRC and Companies House. We ensure your accounts are prepared and submitted on time to avoid fines.

Can I prepare my own year-end accounts?

Yes, it is possible to prepare and submit year-end accounts on your own. There’s no legal requirement to use an accountant. However, it can be easy to get something wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, potentially leading to a fine or penalty. That’s why most choose to work with a qualified accountant instead.
