Sound familiar?
Year-end arrived faster than expected — again.
For most Paignton limited company directors, year-end accounts sit at the bottom of the list until a Companies House reminder forces the issue. By then, the bookkeeping needs catching up, the tax position is unclear, and two separate deadlines are running in parallel. It is manageable — but not if it is left much later.
- Accounts deadline approaching with records that still need reconciling
- No clear view of the Corporation Tax bill until the filing is done
- Unsure whether statutory accounts and the CT600 are even two different things
What a handled year-end looks like
The books are brought up to date, the statutory accounts are prepared to the required standard, and the CT600 is filed to HMRC. You know your tax liability before it is due, and Companies House receives what it needs on time.
- Records reconciled and year-end accounts prepared without last-minute scramble
- Tax bill confirmed and explained before the HMRC payment deadline arrives
- Statutory accounts and CT600 handled together — one process, nothing missed
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no invoice surprises at year-end
What Paignton business owners say
Year-end compliance handled well is largely invisible — which is the point. Here is what clients have said about working with Daniel.
Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
Everything the year-end requires, covered
Year-end accounts for a limited company involve several moving parts. All of them are handled as part of the service — nothing is treated as an optional extra by default.
Statutory Accounts Prepared Correctly
Your year-end accounts are prepared to the required format under UK GAAP and filed with Companies House before the nine-month deadline. The profit and loss account and balance sheet are reviewed with you so the numbers make sense before anything is submitted. Directors need to approve the accounts — this is the moment to understand what they actually show.
Included as standardCorporation Tax Return Filed on Time
The CT600 Corporation Tax return is prepared and submitted to HMRC within 12 months of your accounting period end — separately from, but coordinated with, the Companies House filing. Your tax liability is calculated and communicated clearly, so there are no surprises when the payment falls due nine months after year-end. Allowable expenses, capital allowances and available reliefs are considered as part of the process.
CT600 includedTax Position Visible Before Filing
A common frustration with year-end accounts is that directors only find out what they owe at the point of filing. The tax position is worked through during preparation, so you know the liability with enough time to plan the payment. If there are opportunities — director salary and dividend mix, pension contributions, deductible expenses — those are flagged before the accounts are finalised rather than after.
Proactive review includedConsistently good across different businesses
Clients range from sole traders filing their first return to limited company directors managing more complex affairs. The feedback across those is consistent.
Accounts Finalised With Every Detail Explained
“Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.”
Helped With Taxes When Workload Made It Impossible
“Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!”
Great Advice, Saved Money On Expenses
“Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could.”
What makes the difference at year-end
Year-end accounts are a legal requirement. The question is whether your accountant treats them as a tick-box or as a useful point in the year to review your position.
Tax Position Confirmed Early
Year-end does not have to mean a surprise tax bill arriving months after the filing. The liability is worked out during preparation and explained before anything is submitted to HMRC. That gives you time to arrange payment, adjust your dividend or salary position, or make a pension contribution before the window closes.
Deadlines Tracked Without Chasing
Companies House and HMRC operate on different timetables, and missing either carries a financial penalty. Both are monitored and met as part of the service — you will not receive a reminder letter from either authority because a filing slipped. The approach is to treat deadlines as dealt with, not as something to manage reactively.
Accounts Explained, Not Just Filed
Statutory accounts are a legal document, but they are also a picture of how your business performed. Daniel reviews the key figures with you in plain English — what the profit figure means, how the balance sheet reads, what the numbers suggest about the year ahead. Most directors leave that conversation knowing more than they expected to.
Up and running in four steps
Most Paignton clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and the majority of the legwork is handled on this side.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your current set-up and where things stand with your records. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether the service is the right fit and what the year-end process will look like.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A written quote is sent after the call, tailored to your business structure and what needs doing. Everything is agreed upfront — the fee does not change once work is underway, and there are no hourly rates applied if the job takes longer than expected.
Onboarding and records review
Access to your accounting records is requested and a Xero account is set up if one is not already in place. If the bookkeeping needs catching up before the year-end accounts can be prepared, that is identified at this stage with a clear cost attached.
Accounts filed, tax confirmed
The statutory accounts and CT600 are prepared, reviewed with you, and filed with Companies House and HMRC respectively. Your tax liability is confirmed, payment deadlines are noted, and the year-end is closed. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Things people usually ask first
Do you handle the Companies House filing and the HMRC CT600 together, or is that two separate engagements?
Both are handled as part of the same year-end process. The statutory accounts go to Companies House within nine months of your accounting period end, and the CT600 Corporation Tax return goes to HMRC within 12 months. The two have different deadlines but are prepared together, which avoids duplication and keeps the figures consistent across both submissions.
What does year-end accounts preparation cost for a Paignton limited company?
Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax are included in the limited company packages, which start from £79 per month on the Start tier — currently available at £39.50 for the first three months. The right tier depends on your turnover, whether you need VAT returns and payroll included, and how much financial visibility you want throughout the year. A written quote is provided after an initial conversation, with everything agreed before work begins.
My bookkeeping is behind. Can you still prepare year-end accounts?
Yes, and this is a common starting point. If the records are not current, a bookkeeping catch-up is required before the accounts can be prepared accurately. The extent of that catch-up — and the cost — is assessed at the onboarding stage and quoted separately. It is better to know that figure upfront than to receive an unexpected bill once the work is underway.
Is there a minimum contract period, or can I leave if it is not working?
There is no long-term contract. The service runs on a rolling monthly basis. If it is not the right fit after the first few months, you leave with your accounts in order and nothing owed beyond the work completed. The books are returned to you in a clean, accessible state.
What happens if my year-end accounts are overdue and Companies House has already issued a penalty notice?
Late filing penalties from Companies House are issued automatically once the nine-month deadline passes, and they increase the longer the accounts remain unfiled. The priority in that situation is to prepare and file the accounts as quickly as possible to stop the penalty accruing further. Whether a penalty can be appealed depends on the circumstances — that is something that can be reviewed once the accounts are filed and the immediate issue is resolved.
Is there anything worth reviewing at year-end to reduce the Corporation Tax bill?
Year-end is a useful point to check a few things before the accounts are finalised: whether all allowable expenses have been captured, whether any capital allowances apply to equipment purchased during the year, and whether the director salary and dividend split is still tax-efficient. Pension contributions made before the year-end can also reduce taxable profit. These are considered during preparation rather than flagged as an afterthought.
