Limited company accountants in Liverpool

A limited company accountant keeps your company on the right side of two bodies: Companies House and HMRC. Each year your company must file accounts, file a company tax return and confirm its details are up to date. Miss any of them and the fines are automatic. We handle all three from one set of records, and we do it well before the deadline.

The filing is only part of the job. As your limited company accountant, we also help you decide how to take money out of the company, check that every allowable cost has been claimed, and tell you what tax is coming and when. You hear about the bill months before it is due, not the week before.

• Year-end accounts prepared from your records and filed at Companies House
• Corporation tax worked out, claimed correctly and filed with HMRC
• The confirmation statement, filed at least once every 12 months
• Your own Self Assessment return as a director, if you need one
• Advice on salary and dividends before the year end, not after

Most of the companies we look after are owner-managed. That means one or two directors who also own the shares. You might be a contractor working through your own company, a builder who incorporated a few years ago, or a small team with staff on the payroll.

If you are still a sole trader and wondering whether to make the move, read our guide to sole trader vs limited company first. A company is not always cheaper once the extra admin is counted.

   A free 20-minute chat

   You tell us about the company, its year end and what you need. We ask a few questions about your records and software.

   A fixed price in writing

   Within one working day you get an exact monthly fee in writing. It stays fixed for 12 months unless your business changes.

   We take over the paperwork

   If you have an accountant now, we handle the switch. We get the filing codes we need and register as your agent with HMRC.

   Records through the year

   You keep your records in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent or a spreadsheet. We check them as we go so the year end has no surprises.

5. 5

   Accounts and tax return

   After your year end we prepare the accounts, go through them with you, and file only once you have approved them.

Every company has its own dates, based on its year end. For a private company the rules are the same:

Corporation tax is the tax a company pays on its profits. The rate depends on how much profit it makes:

Dividends you take out are taxed on you personally. The first £500 is covered by the dividend allowance. Above that, the 2026/27 rates are 10.75% in the basic rate band, 35.75% in the higher rate band and 39.35% above that. That is why we look at your pay before the year closes.

Our fixed monthly fees start from £150 for a limited company, and from £220 for a growing business with more going on, such as staff or VAT. You pay the same amount each month, so there is no large bill at the year end. See our fees page for what is included, or our guide on how much an accountant costs to compare like with like.
