LTD Company Annual Accounts – Compliant, Clear, and Stress-Free
Running a limited company comes with responsibilities — and filing your ltd company annual accounts is one of the most important.
At Audit Consulting Group, we help directors across the UK prepare and submit their limited company annual accounts to Companies House and HMRC on time, every time. Whether you’re running a micro-entity, a small business, or a fast-growing company, we make the accounting process clear and compliant.
No confusion. No penalties. Just peace of mind.
What Are LTD Company Annual Accounts?
If you operate as a limited company in the UK, you are legally required to file a set of annual accounts with Companies House. These financial statements provide a snapshot of your business’s financial health and activity over the last year.
Your annual accounts will typically include:
- Balance Sheet (showing assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity)
- Profit and Loss Account (your income and expenses)
- Notes to the accounts
- Director’s Report (for some types of companies)
- Accountant’s Report or Auditor’s Report (if required)
Even if your company is dormant or hasn’t made a profit, you still need to file.
Why Filing LTD Company Annual Accounts Matters
Filing your limited company annual accounts isn’t optional — it’s a legal obligation. Missing the deadline or submitting incorrect information can result in:
- Late filing penalties (starting at £150 and rising to £1,500)
- Investigations from Companies House or HMRC
- Personal liability for directors
- Difficulty getting business credit or funding
Timely, accurate accounts protect your business and your reputation.
