Sound familiar?
Year-end arriving faster than your records are ready?
Most owner-managed businesses in Oldham get to year-end with bank feeds that need reconciling, receipts in a folder somewhere, and a deadline that crept up quietly. The accounts still need filing, the corporation tax still needs calculating, and HMRC will still charge a penalty if it is late. None of that is unusual. It is, however, entirely avoidable.
- Records incomplete when the filing deadline is weeks away
- No idea what the corporation tax bill will be this year
- Previous accountant hard to reach and slow to respond
What sorted year-end looks like
Your accounts are prepared from clean, current records. The corporation tax figure is visible well before it is due. And you can ask a question and expect an answer the same day.
- Records caught up and reconciled before deadline pressure builds
- Corporation tax liability calculated and communicated months in advance
- A named accountant who replies the day you ask
- Fixed monthly fee so there are no surprise invoices at year-end
What Oldham businesses say about year-end

Everything your year-end requires
Year-end accounts involve more than one document. Here is what is included as standard when Edward Harris handles yours.
Statutory Accounts Preparation
Your annual accounts are prepared in the format required by Companies House and HMRC. Directors’ report, balance sheet, profit and loss — prepared accurately and filed on time. Late filing penalties are avoidable when the process is managed properly from the start.
Included as standardCorporation Tax Return (CT600)
Your corporation tax liability is calculated alongside your accounts, not as an afterthought. You will know the figure in advance — giving you time to plan the payment rather than scramble for it. The CT600 is filed with HMRC on your behalf.
Filed on your behalfYear-Round Bookkeeping Support
Year-end accounts are considerably less stressful when the books are current throughout the year. Cloud bookkeeping via Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent keeps records clean as you go, so there is no catch-up crunch in the final weeks. Less to do at year-end means fewer surprises.
Proactive, not reactiveBusinesses across Oldham say the same thing
From sole traders to growing limited companies, Edward Harris clients consistently highlight the same qualities: responsiveness, clear advice, and no last-minute stress.
Complex Concepts Made Easy to Understand
“Hasan is always prompt in responding to my inquiries and made complex financial concepts easy to understand. Their attention to detail and commitment to accuracy gave me great confidence in my financial decisions.”
Knowledge and Support for New Business Owners
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Switched Accountants and Never Looked Back
“I started off with an incredible expensive company who I could never reach or get good advice from – then THANKFULLY found Hasan who has been our accountant ever since.”
What makes year-end less painful here
Any accountant can file your accounts. The difference is whether you understand your numbers, know your tax bill in advance, and can actually get hold of someone when you have a question.
No year-end surprises
Proactive deadlines management means your accounts are not prepared in a panic two weeks before they are due. Corporation tax is calculated and communicated well in advance, so the payment is planned rather than unexpected. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Questions answered the same day
Send a message by phone, email, or the contact form and you will hear back the same day. No waiting a week to find out whether a purchase is deductible or what your tax liability looks like this year. That level of access changes how much confidence you have in your own finances.
Plain English, no jargon
Year-end accounts involve terms like CT600, retained earnings, and directors’ loan accounts. You do not need to know what any of those mean before picking up the phone. Everything is explained in plain English so you understand what has been filed and why, not just that it has been done.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Switching accountants or instructing one for the first time is simpler than most business owners expect. Here is how it works.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form. You will hear back the same day. The initial conversation is free and without any pressure to proceed.
Free initial conversation
Hasan will discuss where your books currently are, what your year-end deadline looks like, and what is needed to get your accounts in order. If you are switching from another accountant, the handover process is handled — you do not need to chase your previous firm.
Accounts prepared and filed
Your statutory accounts and CT600 are prepared from your records, checked with you before submission, and filed with Companies House and HMRC. You will know the corporation tax figure before anything is submitted.
Year-round, and considerably calmer
With bookkeeping kept current throughout the year, next year-end will be noticeably less eventful. Your tax position is visible, your records are clean, and year-end becomes a scheduled task rather than a source of dread.
“I had the pleasure of working with Hasan for our business’s financial needs, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. They provided exceptional service, demonstrating a deep understanding of accounting principles and tax regulations. Hasan is always prompt in responding to my inquiries and made complex financial concepts easy to understand.”
Things most people ask before getting started
What exactly is included in year-end accounts for a limited company?
For a limited company, year-end accounts include the statutory financial statements — profit and loss account, balance sheet, and directors’ report — filed with Companies House, plus the corporation tax return (CT600) filed with HMRC. If your company is also registered for VAT or has employees on payroll, those are handled separately. Everything that is required for your company’s size and structure is covered; nothing that is not needed is added.
How much does it cost to have year-end accounts prepared?
Fees are fixed monthly rather than billed as a single invoice at year-end, which avoids the common experience of an unexpectedly large bill arriving alongside the accounts. The monthly amount depends on the size and complexity of your business. The free initial conversation will result in a clear, written quote — no estimates that grow later.
My books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes, and this is not an unusual situation. Most new clients arrive with records that need catching up to some degree. A catch-up exercise is scoped and quoted separately before any work begins, so there are no surprises about what it will cost to get up to date. Once the backlog is cleared, ongoing bookkeeping prevents it from building up again.
Is there a long-term contract I have to sign?
No long-term contract is required. If the arrangement is not working, you are free to leave with your records and nothing outstanding. Clean books leave with you regardless. The preference is to work with businesses who find the service genuinely useful — not to hold anyone in place.
What happens if I am late filing my accounts?
Companies House imposes automatic penalties for late filing, starting at £150 for accounts up to one month late and rising significantly from there. HMRC applies separate penalties for a late CT600. The practical answer is that with a managed process and clear deadlines tracked throughout the year, late filing is avoidable. If you are already late when you get in touch, the priority is to get the accounts filed as quickly as possible to limit further penalty accrual.
Can anything be done to reduce the corporation tax bill at year-end?
There are legitimate tax planning steps available to most limited companies — including directors’ salary and dividend structuring, pension contributions, capital allowances on equipment, and timing of expenditure — but these are most effective when discussed before the year-end rather than after it. That is one of the reasons proactive, year-round contact matters: opportunities do not disappear, but some of them do close once the accounting period ends.
