Limited Company Accounts | Barton Accountancy

Limited company accounts

Accounts that are on time and accurate.

Every limited company has to file annual accounts at Companies House within 9 months of year-end. Miss the deadline and penalties start at £150 and climb to £1,500, plus HMRC tacks on more for corporation tax.

We prepare and file statutory accounts for limited companies of every size. Every set is checked twice before filing, compared to the prior year, and accompanied by a pre year-end planning conversation to minimise tax.

Sound familiar?

Most businesses don't have an accountant.
They have a filing service.

If any of these ring true, you're not getting what you should be.

01

You only hear from them at year-end

No check-ins, no planning, no conversation. Just a bill and a set of accounts you don't fully understand.

02

You're never sure where you stand

Your numbers are months out of date. You're making decisions based on gut feel, not real figures.

03

Surprise invoices keep landing

An email here, a phone call there — and suddenly your bill is twice what you expected. No one told you.

Common questions

Things people ask us.

When are my limited company accounts due?

Companies House requires filing within 9 months of your year-end. HMRC corporation tax is due 9 months and 1 day after year-end, with the CT600 due within 12 months. We file everything well before the deadline.

What are FRS 105 and FRS 102 Section 1A?

Accounting standards for small and micro UK companies. FRS 105 is for micro-entities (simplest, least disclosure). FRS 102 Section 1A is for small companies (more detail, required for bank covenants etc). We pick the right one for your situation.

What happens if I miss the filing deadline?

Automatic penalties start at £150 and climb to £1,500 for a year+ delay. HMRC adds separate penalties for late corporation tax. It's not negotiable and it compounds fast. We make sure you never miss one.
