What Are Year End Accounts?
Year end accounts, also known as statutory accounts, annual accounts or end of year accounts, are a set of financial statements that summarise your company’s financial position and performance during its accounting period.
They typically include:
- Profit and Loss Account
- Balance Sheet
- Notes to the Accounts
- Directors’ Report (where required)
- Accounting Policies and Disclosures
These accounts must be prepared in accordance with UK accounting standards and filed with Companies House within the relevant deadline.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When are year end accounts due?
Most limited companies must file their accounts with Companies House within nine months of their accounting reference date. Newly incorporated companies generally have up to 21 months from incorporation to file their first accounts.
What is the difference between year end accounts and a Company Tax Return?
Year end accounts are statutory financial statements filed with Companies House. A Company Tax Return (CT600) is filed separately with HMRC and calculates the Corporation Tax due. Both are required and have different deadlines.
Do small companies need to file full statutory accounts?
Small and micro-entity companies can often file simplified accounts with reduced disclosure requirements. We assess which framework applies and prepare the correct version.
Can you prepare year end accounts if my bookkeeping is incomplete?
Yes. We can review your bookkeeping, make the necessary corrections and prepare accurate year end accounts before filing.
What happens if I miss my Companies House filing deadline?
Companies House automatically issues late filing penalties. Repeated late filing can lead to increased penalties and additional enforcement action. If your accounts are overdue, we recommend seeking advice as soon as possible.
