Annual Accounts Preparation for Small Businesses, Sole Traders and Limited Companies

Annual accounts (also known as year end accounts) provide a summary of your company’s financial activity over the year. If you run a limited company, you are legally required to file annual accounts with Companies House and HMRC. Accurate accounts not only ensure compliance but also give you clear insights into your business’s financial health. As a small business accountant in Maidstone, we help local and UK-wide businesses stay on track with their reporting obligations.

Annual accounts must be submitted within nine months of your company’s financial year end. Late filing can lead to penalties from Companies House. As your accountant, we will manage deadlines and ensure your accounts are filed on time, giving you complete peace of mind.

To prepare your year end accounts, we need access to your bookkeeping records, bank statements, and supporting documents for income and expenses. If we already handle your bookkeeping, we will have everything we need. We offer a seamless service for clients looking for a small business accountant in Kent who takes care of it all.

Sole traders are not legally required to file annual accounts with Companies House. However, producing structured year end accounts is essential for completing your Self Assessment tax return and monitoring business performance. As a trusted sole trader accountant in the UK, we help you stay organised and fully prepared for tax season. We also support those needing help with Making Tax Digital for sole traders in Kent.
