Accurate, compliant annual accounts prepared and filed by a chartered accountancy practice with over 20 years of professional experience.
Statutory accounts are a legal requirement for most businesses in the United Kingdom. Limited companies must file accounts with Companies House and HMRC each year. Sole traders and partnerships need year-end accounts to calculate tax liabilities and support Self Assessment filings.
Getting accounts right is not only about compliance. Accurate accounts give you a clear picture of your financial position, support better business decisions and form the basis for tax planning throughout the year.
At Qestor, we prepare statutory accounts for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders across England and Wales. We handle the preparation, review and filing process, explain what the accounts show and make sure all relevant deadlines are met.
We prepare statutory accounts for limited companies in accordance with UK accounting standards and Companies House requirements.
This includes profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, notes to the accounts and all supporting documentation required for filing.
We file accounts with Companies House on your behalf and ensure the filing meets the relevant deadlines for your company.
We prepare year-end accounts for partnerships and limited liability partnerships, including the allocation of profits between partners and the preparation of individual partner income figures for Self Assessment purposes.
Sole traders are not required to file accounts with Companies House, but accurate year-end accounts are needed to calculate taxable profit and complete a Self Assessment tax return.
We prepare clear, accurate year-end accounts for sole traders and use them as the basis for the Self Assessment filing.
We manage the Companies House filing process on your behalf, including submission of accounts within the statutory deadline.
Late filing of accounts at Companies House results in automatic financial penalties. We track deadlines for all clients and make sure filings are completed on time.
When we prepare your accounts, we also review your accounting period, your income and expenditure records and any areas that may affect your tax position.
If we identify something that needs your attention, we will flag it before the accounts are finalised.
Our statutory accounts service is relevant to the following types of clients.
All active limited companies registered in England and Wales are required to prepare and file statutory accounts with Companies House and HMRC each year. The filing deadline is typically nine months after the company's financial year end.
Partnerships and limited liability partnerships need year-end accounts to calculate each partner's share of profit and support individual Self Assessment tax returns.
Sole traders need annual accounts to calculate their taxable profit and complete their Self Assessment tax return. While not filed publicly, accurate accounts are essential for HMRC compliance.
As businesses grow, their accounting needs become more complex. We help growing businesses keep their accounts in order and make sure their records are ready for year-end without last-minute disruption.
You send us your income and expenditure records, bank statements and any other relevant documents for the accounting period. We tell you exactly what we need and when.
We review your records, check for any issues and prepare the draft accounts. If anything is unclear or missing, we contact you before proceeding.
We send you the draft accounts for review and explain what they show. We answer any questions you have before finalising.
Once you approve the accounts, we file them with Companies House and HMRC on your behalf and confirm when the filing is complete.
Missing an accounts filing deadline results in automatic penalties from Companies House. The penalties increase the longer the accounts remain overdue.
Accounts must be filed with Companies House within nine months of the company's financial year end for private limited companies. For new companies filing their first accounts, the deadline is 21 months from the date of incorporation.
The corporation tax return must be filed with HMRC within 12 months of the end of the accounting period. Corporation tax is generally due for payment nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period.
Self Assessment tax returns, which include profit figures from year-end accounts, must be filed by 31 January following the end of the tax year. Tax owed is also due by 31 January.
We track deadlines for all clients and make sure filings are never missed.
