At Audit Consulting Group, we help UK companies stay fully compliant by submitting annual accounts to Companies House accurately and on time. Whether you’re a small limited company, a startup, or an established brand, we ensure your filing is correct, complete, and submitted with zero hassle.

Let’s take the stress out of your statutory obligations.

What Are Annual Accounts and Why Do They Matter?

Each year, every limited company registered in the UK must prepare and submit a set of financial statements to Companies House. This is known as annual accounts filing.

These accounts typically include:

• A balance sheet
• A profit and loss statement (or income statement)
• Notes to the accounts
• A director’s report (for some types of companies)
• A confirmation statement (submitted separately)

Submitting these accounts accurately is essential for:

• Staying legally compliant
• Avoiding late filing penalties
• Maintaining a strong credit profile
• Providing transparency to stakeholders and lenders
• Ensuring HMRC receives the correct information for corporation tax

Late or incorrect filings can result in serious consequences — from financial penalties to being struck off the register.

Who Needs to File Annual Accounts with Companies House?

If you’re running a limited company registered in the UK (whether trading or dormant), you are legally required to file annual accounts.

This includes:

• Private limited companies (Ltd)
• Public limited companies (PLC)
• Dormant companies
• Micro-entities and small companies

Even if you’ve made no income, or only traded for part of the year, you still need to file.

Submitting Annual Accounts to Companies House – What’s Involved?

Filing annual accounts isn’t just a box-ticking exercise. It requires accuracy, understanding of accounting standards, and timely submission.

Here’s what we do for you:

• Prepare full or abridged statutory accounts (depending on company size)
• Ensure compliance with UK GAAP or IFRS (as needed)
• Submit accounts online using Companies House filing system
• Coordinate your accounts with your corporation tax return to HMRC
• File on time to avoid penalties
• Handle dormant company filings (if you’re not trading)
• Provide clear timelines and reminders so nothing is missed

You can relax knowing it’s all taken care of — properly, promptly, and professionally.
