Expert Statutory Accounts Services for UK Businesses

From data to filing, we handle every step of your statutory accounts

In the UK, all limited companies have to prepare and send annual accounts to Companies House and HMRC. These reports aren’t just a legal need, they show your business’s financial health, tax status, and overall success.

Our firm delivers accurate statutory account services that follow all rules and give business owners a clear view of their finances. With over 15 years of experience, we give each client a personal account manager.

 

What Are Statutory Accounts?

Statutory accounts, also known as annual financial statements, give directors, stakeholders, and HMRC a clear view of the company’s finances, performance, and compliance for the year. They’re essential for business decisions, investor updates, and meeting legal needs.

A standard set of financial statements usually has:

• Balance Sheet: A summary of assets, liabilities, and shareholder equity.

• Profit & Loss Account: A detailed view of income, expenses, and profits.

• Notes to the Accounts: Additional context explaining key policies and figures.

Accurate statutory accounts are key to transparency and stakeholder trust. They also shield your business from penalties due to late or incorrect filings. Compliance provides assurance, letting you concentrate on business growth.

 

Why Are Statutory Accounts Important?

Statutory accounts are vital for your company’s money management, meeting UK legal needs, and aiding smart choices. Getting them right keeps you in line with rules, avoids charges, and keeps your dealings clear with tax authorities, stakeholders, and investors.

• Legal Requirement

Limited companies have a legal duty to file statutory accounts with Companies House and HMRC annually.

Taxation

HMRC uses your company accounts to work out how much Corporation Tax you owe.

• Financial Transparency

These financial statements help stakeholders and future investors understand your company’s finances before they make important choices.

• Business Insights

Checking your accounts lets you see how you’re doing, notice any patterns, and find chances to grow or save money.

• Credibility

Well-prepared statutory accounts show you’re professional and help build trust with lenders, investors, and partners.
