Accountant for Small Limited Companies

Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax from £400, filed with Companies House and HMRC on time, plus the payroll, VAT and directors’ returns that go with running a company. For small limited companies across Glasgow, Lanarkshire and the UK.

What you get

Everything a Small Company Has to File

For a small limited company, our year-end accounts and Corporation Tax return start from £400 a year. That covers the statutory accounts filed at Companies House and the Corporation Tax return filed with HMRC. Bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and the directors’ own Self Assessment returns are added as you need them, each with its own starting price, so you only pay for what the company actually uses.

  • Statutory year-end accounts

    Prepared from your books and filed at Companies House in the format your company qualifies for.

  • Corporation Tax return

    Calculated, filed with HMRC, and the payment date and amount confirmed to you well before it is due.

  • Directors’ Self Assessment

    Your personal returns prepared alongside the company accounts, so salary and dividends are reported consistently.

  • Payroll and VAT

    Director and staff payroll, and quarterly VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, if the company needs them.

  • Switching from another accountant

    We contact your previous accountant, collect your records and take over your filings, so nothing falls between the two.

Key dates

The Deadlines a Limited Company Works To

  • Every payday

    Payroll reported to HMRC through Real Time Information on or before the day staff, including directors on payroll, are paid.

  • Each VAT quarter

    VAT returns filed digitally and paid, if the company is VAT registered.

  • 9 months and 1 day after the year end

    Corporation Tax payment due for most small companies. The return itself has a separate, later deadline.

  • Companies House accounts deadline

    Set by your year end and filing history, and different for a company’s first accounts. We confirm your exact dates from the Companies House record.

Rules and thresholds change, so we confirm the dates that apply to you individually.

How it works

From First Call to Filed

  1. Step 1

    Free 30-minute call

    We talk through the company, its year end and what is already in place, then agree a fixed fee.

  2. Step 2

    Take-over or set-up

    If you are switching, we handle the handover with your previous accountant. If you are new, we set up Xero and your HMRC agent access.

  3. Step 3

    Through the year

    Bookkeeping, VAT and payroll run on their own cycles, so year end is a summary, not a scramble.

  4. Step 4

    Year end

    Accounts and Corporation Tax prepared, reviewed with you, approved and filed on time.

FAQ

Questions, Answered.

How much does an accountant cost for a limited company?

Our limited company accounts and Corporation Tax return start from £400 a year. Directors’ Self Assessment returns, payroll, VAT returns and bookkeeping are priced separately, so check what any quote actually covers when you compare firms.

Can you take over from my current accountant part-way through the year?

Yes. We contact your previous accountant for the handover, collect the records we need and pick up the filings from there, so nothing is missed.

Do you use Xero?

Yes, we are a Xero Partner and also work with QuickBooks. If the company is not on cloud software yet, we can set it up and show you how to use it.

Is a limited company better than being a sole trader?

It depends on your profit level, how much you draw out personally and your plans for the business. We can go through it on a free call before you decide, and our guide to sole trader vs limited company accounts covers what changes.
