Every UK limited company must prepare statutory accounts at the end of each financial year. These accounts summarise your company's financial performance and must be filed with both Companies House and HMRC.
As experienced accountants in Brentwood, we prepare full statutory accounts for businesses across Essex — ensuring they're accurate, compliant, and filed well before the deadline. For the wider year-round picture, see our limited company accounting service — and if you're currently with another firm, switching accountants is easier than you might think.

Common Questions
Do I need statutory accounts if I'm a sole trader?
No — statutory accounts are only required for limited companies. Sole traders file a Self Assessment tax return instead.
What happens if I file my accounts late?
Companies House issues automatic penalties starting at £150 for accounts filed up to 1 month late, increasing to £1,500 for accounts over 12 months late. HMRC may also charge interest and penalties on unpaid Corporation Tax.
Can I prepare my own accounts?
Technically yes, but the accounts must meet specific legal and accounting standards. Most directors choose to work with an accountant to ensure accuracy and compliance.
What's the difference between abbreviated and full accounts?
Small companies can file abbreviated accounts at Companies House with less detail. However, full accounts must always be prepared for shareholders and HMRC.
