Accounting

Company law requires company accounts to be compiled in accordance with GAAP. The rules change from time to time, so we recommend that you hire an accountant to process your accounts.

If you want an accountant to prepare statutory year-end accounts and company tax returns (CT600). As long as you keep an accurate and complete record, all you need is to send us your information. We'll do the following:

• Prepare the year-end accounts for HM Revenue Custom

• Prepare the year-end accounts for Companies House

• Complete CT600 Corporation tax return

• Submit the accounts and tax return online to HMRC

• Submit the accounts online to Companies House
