Company Accounts and Tax FAQs
Company accounts and tax FAQs covering services, deadlines, compliance, advisory support and fixed fee packages.
What kinds of companies do you prepare accounts and tax returns for?
We prepare year-end statutory accounts and corporation tax returns for a wide range of organisations, including UK companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantee, community interest companies and charities. We work with many sustainability-focused, grant-funded and purpose-driven organisations, tailoring our service to suit their structure and reporting requirements.
What is included in your company accounts preparation service?
Our service includes the full preparation of annual statutory accounts along with the associated corporation tax return. We ensure that your accounts are accurate, compliant with current UK reporting standards and submitted on time. We also make sure everything is clearly explained so you understand your financial position, not just the numbers.
Do you offer fixed fees for your accounts and tax services?
Yes. We operate on transparent fixed fees, so you know exactly what your annual costs will be with no hidden surprises. Fees can typically be paid annually or spread into manageable monthly payments, and they include ongoing email support throughout the year.
How do you help clients stay on top of deadlines?
We provide timely reminders for pre-year planning, submission of records and key filing deadlines. This proactive approach helps ensure you remain compliant with Companies House and HMRC requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or late submissions.
Will I receive advice beyond just completing my accounts?
Yes. Advisory support forms part of the service. With every set of accounts, we offer proactive discussions to help you understand your financial results, identify opportunities for improvement and make informed decisions for the year ahead.
How do you approach tax planning and minimisation?
We focus on legitimate, low-risk tax planning. Rather than using aggressive schemes, we apply tax reliefs correctly and responsibly to minimise your corporation tax while maintaining full compliance with HMRC regulations. Our goal is sustainable, long-term tax efficiency.
How quickly will my accounts be completed?
Once we receive a complete and accurate set of records, we aim to prepare and finalise your accounts within approximately one month. Timely communication and organised record-keeping help ensure this process runs smoothly.
Is your accounting process paperless?
Yes. We operate a fully paperless system, using digital tools and secure online processes to manage documentation and submissions. This approach improves efficiency, enhances security and aligns with environmentally responsible working practices.
How do you ensure accuracy and clarity in my accounts?
We place strong emphasis on attention to detail and quality control. Accounts are prepared carefully and reviewed thoroughly, and we take the time to explain the results in straightforward terms so you can clearly understand your company’s financial position.
How can I get started with your company accounts and tax services?
Getting started is simple. You can arrange an initial discussion to talk through your company’s circumstances, current accounting setup and future plans. From there, we can outline the most suitable service package and next steps.
We are very fortunate to work with some great individuals and organisations ...
The team provide a great combination of sound expert advice, technical competence, and reliable delivery. I feel we can trust them to do a great job. And they are also very nice people too, which helps!
A safe pair of hands, super reliable with excellent management systems so you are never caught out by something that you should have done. Helpful and responsive to queries.
I enjoy working with a company that a) seems to share our world view in terms of supporting social justice, and b) works for our best interests. I also find the support professional and any accounting issues swiftly rectified or dealt with.
David and the team are always on hand if I have any queries or need support. As well as providing solid answers to my questions, they often come up with additional advice or think of things I hadn't thought of. They keep things simple and easy to understand and are really patient! I would highly recommend their services.
Green Accountancy has an excellent attention to detail. The quality of advice we receive is excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and thorough.
Overall Excellent, I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for an accountancy service. We have used them for well over a decade with very professional results.
Try to keep things as simple and efficient as possible and provide clear advice.
Efficient friendly team who have always been able to answer any questions we have.
I trust your legal judgement, professional advice, your knowledge of the UK Tax system and honesty. Respond to queries no matter how simple. or complex in a timely manner.
Highly knowledgeable and very professional accountants - have spotted and fixed so many of our accounting issues from previous bad accountants, understand the pace of small businesses and charities.
I have found the team to be really helpful. Barry has patiently explained various aspects of accounts, which has helped improve our systems.
I'm a person who is anxious and who has very limited IT skills, and Green Accountancy have 'met me where I'm at', breaking tasks down and giving me a hand in order to help me and make tasks manageable. Nothing was too small or too daft.
I appreciate your clear communication on the detail of my accounts, questions that need attention, and giving me clarification to my own questions. I feel that my accounts are in good hands.
A responsive team of experts who can help solve your accounts problems in a way that makes sense to people who are not finance experts, especially helpful with issues faced by small organisations and not-profit organisations.
Really helps that Green Accountancy people have not only an excellent grasp and understanding of accounting but also they have a sense of humour.
It’s lovely to be able to ask for some help with something and it’s just done so professionally. Thank you.
How is it Green Accountancy is literally the only firm that operates with this level of professionalism? It's literally the reason I've never been able to stick with a firm long term: the lack of these sorts of questions completely undermines any faith I have in the process!
