Year-end compliance should be the least stressful part of running a company. We prepare your accounts early enough that there is time to talk about them: what drove the profit, how much you can safely draw, and what to change before next year.
We act for owner-managed and family companies across Manchester and Cheshire, from single-director consultancies to trading groups with several entities.
What’s included
- Statutory accounts under FRS 102 or FRS 105, filed at Companies House
- Corporation tax computations and CT600 return, with reliefs and allowances reviewed
- Confirmation statements and register maintenance
- Identity verification for directors and PSCs – we are an Authorised Corporate Service Provider
- Directors’ Self Assessment returns, if you want everything in one place
- A year-end meeting with Doug or Stephen to go through the results
The dates we work to
- Accounts to Companies House: nine months after your year end (private companies)
- Corporation tax payment: nine months and one day after the year end, for most small and medium companies
- CT600 return: twelve months after the end of the accounting period
- Confirmation statement: at least once a year, within 14 days of the review date
We track every deadline for you and send reminders well ahead of each one.
How we work
Every engagement starts with a no-obligation conversation with Doug or Stephen. We then set out the scope, timings and a fixed fee in writing before any work begins, and you keep the same partner as your point of contact throughout the year.
We work from our offices at 82 King Street in Manchester city centre and Cresta House in Wilmslow, and with clients across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
Common questions
How much do annual accounts cost?
We quote a fixed annual fee before any work starts, based on the size of the company, the state of the records and what is included. There are no hourly surprises.
Can you take over part-way through the year?
Yes. We request clearance from your current accountant and take over the records, so you do not need to wait for your year end.
Do you need to visit us?
No. Most clients send records through our secure client portal or give us access to their cloud software. We are happy to meet in Manchester or Wilmslow whenever it helps.
