YEAR-END ACCOUNTS & CORPORATION TAX

Year-end accounts, done early and worth every penny saved.

Year-end accounts are the statutory accounts every UK limited company must file with Companies House within nine months of its year end, alongside a corporation tax return to HMRC. Clearsight prepares, checks and files both well before the deadline, with the tax planning review most firms leave on the table.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXIllustrative
THE DIFFERENCE

Filing is the easy part.
Saving you tax is the point.

Any accountant can drop numbers into a template and hit submit. The difference is what happens first: the allowances claimed, the reliefs applied, the profit extraction structured properly. That judgement, from a chartered accountant who knows your business, is what turns a compliance job into money kept.

HOW WE DELIVER YOUR YEAR-END

From your records to filed, in four steps.

You hand over your records once. From there we prepare, plan, review and file, so the accounts are right, the tax is minimised, and everything lands well before the deadline. Follow it through.

MOVE 01 / 04

You hand over your records.

Bank statements, invoices, payroll, your bookkeeping: all uploaded to a secure portal or pulled straight from Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. We give you a simple checklist so nothing is missed.

THIS STEP

"Sent our Xero login and last year’s file. Clearsight took it from there. We barely lifted a finger."

THE DELIVERABLE

What do year-end accounts include?

Statutory accounts are only part of it. Explore the eight documents we prepare, file and plan around every year.

FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your year-end, and your CT600 twelve months after, with the tax payable nine months and a day after. We work backwards from those and file far earlier.

Legally, yes: there's no requirement to use an accountant, and a dormant or very simple company can often self-file. It gets risky where judgement is involved: FRS 102 disclosures, capital allowances, accruals and director loan accounts. Mistakes cost more to unpick than an accountant costs to engage.

Your bookkeeping records (or software access), bank statements, invoices for major purchases, payroll records, and details of anything unusual: new loans, assets bought or sold, money in or out that didn't go through the business account. We send a checklist and chase the gaps.

Yes. It’s central to how we work. Capital allowances, R&D relief, profit-extraction planning and timing are reviewed before every filing, and we show you exactly what each one saved.

Easily. We handle the professional clearance and collect everything we need from your old accountant directly: you sign one form and we do the rest.

Most small and medium companies are exempt and don’t. We’ll confirm where you stand against the thresholds, and if you do need one we’ll manage it alongside your accounts.
