Annual accounts service for UK limited companies.
Statutory accounts, Companies House filing, CT600 support, and year-round records that are ready before the deadline.
Year-end is the moment most accountants get busy. We get it ready months in advance. Through Compliance Vault™, your records are audit-ready throughout the year, so filing time is a review and approval process rather than a scramble.
Direct answer
An annual accounts service prepares the statutory accounts a UK limited company must file with Companies House, reconciles the year-end records, applies the right reporting framework, supports the Corporation Tax computation and CT600, and tracks the filing deadline. RR Accountants handles this through Compliance Vault™ so accounts, tax, records, and deadlines stay connected throughout the year.

Annual accounts service for UK limited companies — common questions.
What are annual accounts for a limited company?
Annual accounts are the statutory financial statements a UK limited company files with Companies House. They show the company's financial position for the year and are separate from, but connected to, the Corporation Tax computation and CT600 filed with HMRC.
When are annual accounts due?
For most UK limited companies, statutory annual accounts are due at Companies House 9 months after the end of the financial year. The corporation tax return (CT600) is due 12 months after year end, with tax payable 9 months and 1 day after year end. First-year companies have a different deadline — we'll confirm yours during onboarding.
What does the annual accounts service include?
Statutory accounts preparation (FRS 102 or FRS 105 as appropriate), Companies House filing, corporation tax computation and CT600 filing with HMRC, director's report where required, and a year-end review meeting. Through Compliance Vault™ your records are kept year-round, so the year-end is a confirmation rather than a reconstruction.
How much do annual accounts cost?
Limited company fees depend on size, complexity, number of directors, bookkeeping quality, VAT, payroll, management accounts, and advisory scope. A specific fee is agreed in writing after your 20-minute call. No hourly billing, no surprise charges.
Do you handle dormant company accounts?
Yes. Dormant companies still need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. We handle dormant filings as part of the same service — there's no separate 'dormant' product.
Can you take over from my current accountant mid-year?
Yes. We handle the full handover — contact your previous accountant for records, set up new HMRC authorisations, migrate software access. From verbal yes to operational client typically takes 24 hours for paperwork and 30 days for full Compliance Vault™ setup.
What if I miss a filing deadline before I switch to RR?
We can usually file late and clean it up. Late filing penalties at Companies House are automatic, so they won't disappear, but we can prevent them from compounding and ensure HMRC are kept on side. Get in touch via WhatsApp the same day — this is a Signal #1 situation.
