What are year-end accounts, and why are they important?

Year-end accounts are a summary of your company’s financial activity over the accounting period. They include a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet. These reports are required for compliance with Companies House and HMRC and help businesses assess financial performance and tax obligations.
When do I need to file my accounts with Companies House?

Limited companies in the UK must file their annual accounts within 9 months of the company’s financial year-end. Filing late can result in penalties, so it’s essential to work with a reliable accountant like Launch Accounts to meet deadlines.
What cloud accounting software do you recommend?

We specialise in Xero (but can also work with other cloud accounting software) and work with businesses already using the platform to optimise their accounting processes. As Xero experts, we ensure your financial records are accurate, compliant, and efficient, helping you get the most out of cloud accounting. If you're currently using another system, we also provide seamless migration to Xero, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business. With automated bank feeds, real-time financial insights, and effortless tax submissions, cloud accounting makes managing your finances easier than ever.
