The paperwork a small company has to keep up with, handled

Five services, each listed with exactly what's included, how often it runs and what to watch out for. Take one, or take the lot and stop thinking about deadlines.

Bookkeeping

Weekly or monthly, agreed at the start

Your books kept current, month after month.

Sales and purchase invoices entered and coded to the right accounts, bank and card accounts reconciled, and records kept in a state where a VAT return, a tax computation or a lender's request can be answered without hunting through email.

What's included

  • Sales and purchase ledger entry and coding
  • Bank, card and payment-app reconciliation
  • Credit control reminders and customer statements on request
  • VAT-ready records and a clean trial balance
  • Monthly summary of income and spending
  • Digital filing so records stay retrievable for years

Good to know

  • You keep your own bank feeds and software; we work inside them rather than asking you to move.
  • Months that were never done can be caught up before the current month starts.

Payroll

Every payday, usually monthly

Paydays run on time, HMRC kept up to date.

Employees and directors put on payroll, paid through the bank, and reported to HMRC on or before each payday. Payslips go out to everyone, and year-end paperwork is prepared in good time rather than in the last week of May.

What's included

  • HMRC PAYE registration for new employers
  • Full-pay and faster-pay month calculations
  • RTI Full Payment Submission on or before payday
  • Payslips issued to employees and directors
  • P60s at the end of the tax year, P45s for leavers
  • Auto-enrolment pension assessments and filings

Good to know

  • HMRC must receive the payroll report on or before the first day of payment, so a cut-off date is agreed for each month.
  • Director salary and dividend splits depend on your other income and can be reviewed each year.

VAT Returns

Quarterly, or monthly where that is your arrangement

Submitted on time, with the figures behind them.

VAT returns prepared from reconciled records and submitted through Making Tax Digital software, with the payment deadline flagged well before it arrives. Schemes, partial exemptions and reverse charges are handled as part of the return rather than bolted on afterwards.

What's included

  • VAT registration advice and application support
  • Standard, flat-rate, cash accounting and annual scheme work
  • Returns prepared and submitted through MTD-compatible software
  • Payment reference and deadline reminders
  • Reverse charges for services and construction operations
  • Corrections and voluntary disclosures where a return was wrong

Good to know

  • A return is due one calendar month and seven days after the end of the period it covers.
  • Records must be kept digitally under Making Tax Digital, which is why bookkeeping and VAT work best together.

Corporation Tax

Annually, alongside the company accounts

The company tax return, prepared and filed.

A tax computation prepared from the accounts, reliefs and allowances checked, and the company tax return filed with HMRC. Payment deadlines are set out at the start of the job so the amount and the date are never a surprise.

What's included

  • Company tax return (CT600) prepared and filed
  • Tax computation with supporting notes
  • Small profits rate and marginal relief checks
  • Capital allowances and Annual Investment Allowance
  • Loss carry-forward and group relief where relevant
  • Director's loans and benefit-in-kind reporting

Good to know

  • For profits under £1.5m, tax is usually payable nine months and one day after the accounting period ends.
  • The return itself is due twelve months after the end of the accounting period, which is a separate deadline from payment.

Confirmation Statement

Once every 12 months, filed by the review date

The yearly Companies House check, done properly.

The confirmation statement that confirms your company's details are still correct, filed with Companies House once every twelve months. Shareholder records, share capital, SIC code, registered office and people with significant control are all reviewed before it is signed off.

What's included

  • Shareholder and share-capital records reviewed
  • Registered office and SAIL address checked
  • SIC code and principal activities reviewed
  • People with significant control register updated
  • Filed with Companies House, with the confirmation receipt kept
  • A reminder set ahead of the review date each year

Good to know

  • The review period lasts 12 months and the statement must be filed within 14 days of the review date.
  • Companies House charges a filing fee for the statement; it is shown separately from the service fee.

Take one service, or the whole year

Most businesses start with bookkeeping and VAT, then add corporation tax and the confirmation statement once the accounts cycle is running.
