I am delighted and happy with the services provided regarding my tax return, both my return and business return, including annual accounts and submission. I would describe 3E’S Accountants as professional, highly trustworthy, quick and empathetic. They handled HMRC compliance check and investigation proactively and confidently that I didn’t realise when it was started and completed. They know what they are doing, and I found them highly professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend 3E’S Accountants to everyone.

Since then, Tushar and his team have been extremely helpful and always prompt in their response. Be it tax specific or general issue — they know it all. Professional, efficient, and experienced — their staff goes the extra mile for their clients. Very highly recommended.

3E’S Accountants has been my accountant ever since I started my career as a Locum Pharmacist. Today, they’re looking after three of my pharmacy accounts.

Frequently asked questions
All limited companies registered in the UK are required to prepare year-end accounts. This includes both active trading companies and dormant companies. Partnerships and sole traders are also encouraged to prepare year-end accounts to gain a clear understanding of their financial position, even though they are not legally obligated in the same way as limited companies.
Year-end accounts should be prepared annually, shortly after the end of your company’s financial year. The exact timing can vary, but it is best practice to start the preparation process as soon as possible to ensure timely filing and to identify any issues that need to be addressed before submission.
The year-end accounts preparation process typically involves the following steps:
- Reviewing and reconciling financial records for the year
- Preparing a trial balance to summarise all financial transactions
- Adjusting entries for any accrued income or expenses
- Compiling the profit and loss statement and balance sheet
- Reviewing and verifying all figures for accuracy
- Preparing notes to the accounts and a directors’ report, if applicable
- Submitting the accounts to Companies House and HMRC

Yes, year-end accounts play a crucial role in tax planning. They provide a detailed overview of your financial performance, which can help identify opportunities for tax savings and ensure that you are taking advantage of all available tax reliefs and deductions.
Early preparation and review of year-end accounts allow for strategic tax planning to minimise liabilities.
To prepare your year-end accounts, you will need the following documents:
- Bank statements
- Payroll records
- Expense receipts
- Previous year’s accounts
- Sales and purchase invoices
- Any loan or lease agreements
- Copies of VAT returns (if applicable)
- Details of any assets purchased or sold
The filing deadline for year-end accounts depends on your company’s accounting reference date (ARD). Typically, private limited companies must file their accounts with Companies House within 9 months of the accounting reference date (the ARD) – this is generally the end of the company’s financial year.
Newly formed companies have 21 months from the date of incorporation to file their first accounts. Additionally, the corporation tax return must be filed with HMRC within 12 months of the end of the accounting period.
Failing to file your year-end accounts on time can result in penalties. For private limited companies, the penalties are as follows:
- Up to 1 month late: £150
- 1 to 3 months late: £375
- 3 to 6 months late: £750
- More than 6 months late: £1,500
There is also a penalty, interest, and surcharge for late filing of corporation tax returns. Persistent late filing can also lead to further legal consequences, including potential removal from the Companies House register and directors being disqualified from managing a company.
If you have any additional questions or need further assistance with your year-end accounts, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’re here to ensure your accounts are accurate and submitted on time.
