Accounts that explain the year — not just record it
Annual and management accounts for limited companies and sole traders, prepared carefully, filed on time and discussed with you in plain English.
Prepared, checked and understood
More than a filing exercise
Your accounts should meet the rules, but they should also help you understand what happened, what tax is due and what deserves attention next.
Year-end accounts prepared
Your records are converted into a complete set of accounts, with balances and disclosures reviewed before approval.
Required filings coordinated
Companies House and HMRC requirements are handled together, with the relevant filing and payment dates tracked.
Figures checked, not copied
We review unusual movements, balances and supporting records instead of simply accepting the bookkeeping at face value.
A plain-English review
You see the draft figures and understand the result before anything is approved or filed.
Useful management figures
Where more regular insight is needed, management accounts can show profit, margins and the balance sheet during the year.
Secure document exchange
Accounts, records and approvals can be shared through the secure client portal rather than ordinary email.

A smoother year end
What helps us complete your accounts efficiently
Clear source records let us spend less time reconstructing the year and more time reviewing what the figures mean.
You do not need to decide what is relevant alone. We provide a checklist tailored to your business, software and year-end position.
Typical year-end records
- Completed bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
- Statements for banks, cards, loans and finance
- Sales, purchases and expenses not yet recorded
- Payroll and pension information
- Asset purchases and disposals
- Stock or work-in-progress details where relevant
- Director loan or owner withdrawal information
- Questions or changes affecting the business
Approval comes after explanation
Before filing, we walk you through the important figures: profit, tax, money owed to or by the business, dividends or drawings, and anything that needs correcting or planning for the next period.
For companies, the accounts and Corporation Tax position are considered together. For sole traders, the final business profit feeds into Self Assessment alongside your other income.
Your review covers
- How profit changed from the previous period
- The tax due and when it is payable
- Balances that need action or explanation
- Director loans, dividends or owner drawings
- Deadlines for approval, filing and payment
