Statutory Accounts Filing That Is Accurate, Compliant, and Stress-Free
Need your statutory accounts filed with Companies House? ABM Chartered Accountants prepares, tags, and submits your company accounts electronically, making sure everything is compliant with the Companies Act and delivered well before the deadline.
Get Your Statutory Accounts Filed Properly
Every UK limited company must file statutory accounts with Companies House each year. These accounts need to comply with the Companies Act 2006, follow UK GAAP reporting standards, and be submitted electronically in the correct format. ABM Chartered Accountants handles the entire process from preparation through to filing.
Our ICAEW and ACCA qualified accountants prepare your statutory accounts under the appropriate framework, whether that is FRS 102, FRS 105 for micro-entities, or full IFRS. We apply the required iXBRL tagging and file directly with Companies House, so you never have to worry about missing a deadline.
What Our Statutory Accounts Filing Covers
From preparing your accounts under the right framework to submitting them electronically, here is how ABM Chartered Accountants makes statutory accounts filing simple and fully compliant.
Accounts Preparation
Statutory accounts prepared under UK GAAP, fully compliant with the Companies Act and FRS standards.
iXBRL Tagging
Inline XBRL tagging applied to your accounts so they meet Companies House electronic filing rules.
Companies House Filing
Direct electronic submission of your statutory accounts to Companies House before the deadline.
Confirmation Statements
Preparation and filing of your annual confirmation statement to keep your company record current.
Dormant Accounts
Filing of dormant company accounts for businesses not currently trading or generating any income.
Group Accounts
Consolidated statutory accounts prepared and filed for groups with parent and subsidiary companies.
Avoid Penalties and File With Complete Confidence
Late filing of statutory accounts triggers automatic penalties from Companies House, starting from 150 pounds and rising to 1,500 pounds after 12 months. Beyond the financial cost, late filing damages your company’s public record and reputation with lenders and investors. ABM Chartered Accountants makes sure that never happens.
When your accounts are prepared and filed by a qualified team, you get more than just compliance. You get accurate financial statements that reflect the true position of your business, submitted in the correct format, on time, every year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the statutory accounts questions we hear most often. Contact our team for specific guidance.
What are statutory accounts?
Statutory accounts are the formal financial statements that every UK limited company must file with Companies House each year. They include a balance sheet, profit and loss account, and notes, all prepared in line with UK GAAP.
What is the deadline for filing statutory accounts?
Private limited companies must file their statutory accounts within nine months of their financial year end. For public companies, the deadline is six months. Missing the deadline results in automatic penalties from Companies House.
What happens if I file my accounts late?
Companies House charges automatic penalties for late filing. These start at 150 pounds for accounts up to one month late and increase to 1,500 pounds for accounts more than six months overdue. Repeated lateness doubles the penalty.
What is iXBRL and do I need it?
iXBRL is the electronic format required for filing accounts with Companies House and HMRC online. ABM Chartered Accountants applies the necessary tagging to your accounts as part of our filing service, so you do not need to worry about it.
Do dormant companies need to file accounts?
Yes. Even if your company is not trading, it must still file dormant company accounts with Companies House each year. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares and files these on your behalf to keep your company compliant.
How much does statutory accounts filing cost?
Fees depend on the size and complexity of your company. We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing with no hidden charges. Get in touch with ABM Chartered Accountants for a quote tailored to your specific filing needs.
