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.
