Year-End Accounts Preparation for Businesses and Individuals Across the UK
ABM Chartered Accountants prepares and files year-end accounts for limited companies, sole traders, and partnerships across the UK. We handle everything from accounts preparation to Companies House and HMRC submission, so your year-end is always accurate and on time.
Year-End Accounts Prepared and Filed on Time
Every business with a registered trading entity is required to prepare year-end accounts and file them with Companies House and HMRC. Missing deadlines or submitting inaccurate accounts leads to automatic penalties, interest charges, and increased scrutiny from HMRC. Getting your year-end accounts right, and on time, is not optional for any limited company, sole trader, or partnership.
ABM Chartered Accountants prepares year-end accounts for businesses and individuals of all sizes. Our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team manages the full process, from trial balance review and year-end adjustments to iXBRL tagging, Companies House filing, and corporation tax return submission, all within your filing deadlines.
Everything Included in Our Year-End Accounts Service
From accounts preparation to final submission, we manage every stage of your year-end process, ensuring your accounts are accurate, compliant with UK accounting standards, and filed without delay.

Prepare fully compliant statutory year-end accounts filed accurately with Companies House.
Corporation Tax Return
Prepare and file your CT600 alongside year-end accounts to meet all HMRC deadlines on time.
Director's Report
Draft a clear and compliant director's report to accompany your statutory year-end accounts.
Year-End Adjustments
Process all journals, accruals, prepayments, and provisions needed for a clean year-end close.
iXBRL Tagging

Stay Compliant, Avoid Penalties, Stay in Control
Late or inaccurate year-end accounts cost businesses money and credibility. Companies House imposes automatic late filing penalties, and HMRC will raise queries on accounts that do not reconcile with your tax return. Working with ABM Chartered Accountants means your accounts are prepared correctly the first time and submitted well ahead of every deadline.
Beyond compliance, accurate year-end accounts give you a clear view of your business performance. They support better decisions on investment, dividends, and planning, and provide the financial credibility lenders and investors require. ABM Chartered Accountants ensures your year-end accounts do far more than just satisfy a filing obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the most common questions about year-end accounts preparation and filing.
When do year-end accounts need to be filed?
Limited companies must file accounts with Companies House within nine months of their accounting period end. The corporation tax return must reach HMRC within twelve months. First-year companies have different deadlines. ABM Chartered Accountants tracks all deadlines on your behalf to ensure nothing is missed.
What happens if I miss my year-end accounts deadline?
Companies House imposes automatic penalties starting at £150 for accounts filed up to one month late, rising significantly for longer delays. Persistent late filing can also affect your credit rating and trigger HMRC scrutiny. ABM Chartered Accountants ensures your accounts are always filed ahead of schedule.
Do sole traders need year-end accounts?
Sole traders are not required to file statutory accounts with Companies House, but preparing year-end accounts is essential for completing a self assessment tax return accurately. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares year-end accounts for sole traders and partnerships alongside their annual self assessment filing.
What accounting standard applies to my year-end accounts?
Most small and medium UK companies prepare accounts under FRS 102. Micro-entities may use FRS 105, which allows simplified reporting with reduced disclosure. Groups and listed companies may need to apply IFRS. ABM Chartered Accountants will confirm the correct standard for your business at the outset.
Can ABM Chartered Accountants take over from my previous accountant?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants handles accountant transitions regularly and will manage the professional clearance process, request prior year information, and take over your year-end accounts preparation without disruption. We make switching straightforward and ensure continuity across your current and future filings.
Are year-end accounts and a corporation tax return the same thing?
No, but they are closely linked. Year-end accounts are the statutory financial statements filed with Companies House. The corporation tax return is filed separately with HMRC and uses the accounts as its starting point. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares both at the same time to ensure full alignment.
