Annual & Statutory Accounts
Accurate. Compliant. Trusted. Done right.
If you’re a limited company director with high standards, who wants things done properly—we’re here to help.
At Mayflower, we prepare annual and statutory accounts that aren’t just technically correct, but also clear, timely, and insightful. The kind of accounts that build trust with shareholders, satisfy HMRC, and give you confidence in your business performance.
Why Your Accounts Matter
As a director, it’s your responsibility to ensure shareholders, lenders, investors—and HMRC—have access to accurate financial information. Good accounts do more than tick boxes:
- They build trust
- Support confident decision-making
- Help you understand your performance
- Reduce the risk of HMRC queries or penalties
Annual Accounts
Your annual accounts offer a snapshot of your company’s financial performance over the year. They typically include:
- Profit & loss account – How your business performed financially
- Balance sheet – What your business owns and owes
- Notes to the accounts – Additional context or disclosures
We obsess over detail and triple-check everything—so your numbers aren’t just compliant, they’re reliable.
Statutory Accounts
Statutory accounts are a legal requirement. They must be filed with:
- Companies House (within 9 months and 1 day of your accounting year-end)
- HMRC (as part of your corporation tax return)
These accounts must meet UK reporting standards and include specific formats, disclosures and consistency. We ensure they’re produced and submitted with no hassle for you.
How We Prepare Your Accounts
We support you year-round, not just at year-end. That means:
- Proactive record-keeping – using Xero, QuickBooks and cloud tools
- Ongoing checks – to avoid surprises when year-end comes
- Final preparation & review – accuracy, completeness, and clarity including a pre-year-end tax planning opportunity meeting
- A personalised walkthrough – making sure you understand what makes up your accounts, and suggestions going forward to strengthen your business and lower your taxes
- Submission to HMRC & Companies House – including follow-up queries
- Tax calculation & advice – so you know what’s due and when
If we also handle your bookkeeping and management accounts, it runs even smoother – but we’re flexible if you need standalone support.
Built for the Modern Business
We’ve embraced technology from day one. By integrating cloud software like Xero and QuickBooks, we help you:
- Keep real-time, accurate records
- Automate bank feeds and invoicing
- Reduce manual errors
- Stay compliant without lifting a finger
We’ll set you up, support you, and ensure your accounts are always in good shape.
Worried About Your Accounts?
It happens. Sometimes business owners come to us:
- After a previous accountant let them down
- Midway through a messy DIY attempt
- With missing records, late filings, or HMRC breathing down their neck
No judgement here. Just clarity, reassurance and a path forward. We’ll help you take control—and take the stress off your shoulders.
