Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your year-end actually involves?
For most owner-managed businesses, year-end accounts arrive as a source of mild dread rather than useful information. Records are incomplete, the deadline is closer than expected, and the tax bill feels like a number that appears from nowhere. That is a fairly common starting point, and it is largely avoidable.

Everything your year-end accounts require
From preparing the statutory accounts to filing with Companies House and HMRC, the full process is handled — with a clear explanation of the numbers at every stage.
Statutory Accounts Prepared and Filed
Your annual accounts are prepared to the required standard and filed with both Companies House and HMRC before the deadline. Directors receive a plain-English summary explaining the key figures, not just a set of documents to sign. No chasing required on your end — we manage the timeline.
Included as standardCorporation Tax Return and CT600
The corporation tax computation and CT600 are completed alongside your accounts, so HMRC has everything it needs in one submission. Your tax liability is calculated and communicated well in advance of the payment due date, giving you time to plan rather than react. No unexpected bills appearing at the last moment.
Filed alongside accountsYear-Round Support and Tax Planning
Year-end accounts are the output of twelve months of business activity, and the earlier tax planning happens, the more options are available. Throughout the year, Hasan monitors your position and flags opportunities to reduce the liability before the year closes. Questions answered the same day — no waiting until the deadline to find out where you stand.
Proactive, not reactiveRated 5.0 on Google by every reviewer
Clients include new company directors, sole traders, and growing SMEs — many of them filing their first set of accounts and wanting a patient, jargon-free guide through the process.

What makes this different from most accountants
Filing accounts is the minimum. The difference is in what happens before the deadline — and what you understand about your business afterwards.
Tax bill visible months early
Your corporation tax liability is calculated and shared well before it falls due, not handed to you with a fortnight to find the funds. That gives you the option to plan — whether that is timing a purchase, reviewing salary and dividends, or simply setting aside the right amount. Surprises are largely avoidable when the position is reviewed throughout the year.
Accounts you can actually read
Statutory accounts meet a legal requirement. They do not, by default, explain what is going on in your business. At Edward Harris, the numbers come with a plain-English explanation of what they mean — profit position, cash flow, key figures — so you leave the year-end process better informed, not just compliant. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
No last-minute scramble
When records are kept in reasonable order throughout the year, year-end becomes a process rather than a panic. Hasan works with clients year-round — not just when the deadline is looming — so the information needed to prepare your accounts is already largely in place. Less of your time, less stress, and a more accurate set of accounts as a result.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are set up and have their first conversation within a few days. The process on your side is minimal — we handle the detail.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form on this page. We reply the same day. Initial conversations are free and without pressure — there is no obligation to proceed.
Free initial conversation
Hasan will ask about your business, your current accounting situation, and what your year-end looks like. You will get a clear sense of what is involved, what it will cost, and whether it is a good fit — before committing to anything.
We take it from here
Once you are on board, we request the records we need — bank statements, bookkeeping data, any existing accounts — and manage the rest. If the books need tidying first, that is handled as part of the process. You will know exactly what is happening at each stage.
Accounts filed, tax planned
Your statutory accounts are filed with Companies House and HMRC. Your corporation tax return is submitted. And you will know what the numbers mean for your business going forward. The year is closed, the obligation is met, and next year starts with a cleaner position than this one.
“I cannot rate this company highly enough. 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. He always responds to messages and calls so quickly, has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is absolutely trustworthy. He’s kind, response, easy to deal with, and really a great member to make up your team. 10/10 recommend.”
Things people ask before getting started
What exactly is included in year-end accounts — and what do I need to provide?
Year-end accounts for a limited company include the statutory financial statements (profit and loss, balance sheet, and notes) filed with Companies House, plus the corporation tax return and CT600 filed with HMRC. What you need to provide depends on how your bookkeeping is set up — typically bank statements, sales and purchase records, and details of any business expenses. If your records are not fully in order, we will let you know what the catch-up involves before any work starts.
How much does it cost, and is the fee fixed?
Fees are fixed and agreed before any work begins, so you will not receive an unexpected invoice at the end. The cost depends on the size and complexity of your business, the state of your records, and whether you need any additional services such as payroll or bookkeeping alongside the accounts. You will get a clear figure in the free initial conversation — no vague estimates, no hourly rates appearing later.
My books are a bit of a mess — can you still help?
Yes, and it is a fairly common starting point. If the records need catching up or reconciling before the accounts can be prepared, that work is scoped and costed separately so you know what you are committing to. We will not start work and then surprise you with an additional bill for the clean-up. Getting the books into reasonable shape is part of what we do — it tends to make the next year considerably more straightforward.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No. There is no long-term contract, and you are not locked in for a set number of years. If you decide to leave, we provide all your records and account files in a format your next accountant can use. Most clients stay because the service works, not because they have to. Initial conversations are free and without pressure — that is the same principle applied throughout.
What is the deadline for filing year-end accounts, and what happens if I miss it?
For a private limited company, statutory accounts must be filed with Companies House within nine months of your accounting year-end, and your corporation tax return must be filed with HMRC within twelve months. Late filing results in automatic penalties from Companies House — starting at £150 and increasing the longer the delay. The payment deadline for corporation tax is typically nine months and one day after the year-end. We monitor these dates and manage the timeline, so missing a deadline is not something that should happen when the accounts are handled properly.
Can anything be done to reduce the corporation tax bill before the year-end closes?
Yes, but the options narrow significantly once the year has ended. Tax planning is most effective in the weeks before the year-end closes — timing capital expenditure, reviewing director salary and dividend structures, or making pension contributions can all affect the final liability. This is part of the year-round support Edward Harris provides, rather than something discussed only when the accounts are being prepared. If your year-end is approaching, it is worth having a conversation before the date passes.
