Limited company accounts filed on time for a fixed fee

Limited company accounts are usually the last piece a VAT-registered owner wants handled, after the quarterly VAT returns, the bookkeeping and the monthly payroll run.

Most owners who call us have accounts that land nine months after the year end, with a corporation tax bill nobody has explained. We put the VAT, the books, the payroll and the year end on one timetable. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client.

In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice in Cardiff Bay that prepares and files limited company accounts and corporation tax returns for South Wales companies, alongside VAT, bookkeeping and payroll. Fees are fixed and agreed before work starts. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client.

Are your limited company accounts in good hands? Three questions.

Answer by button. No email address needed.

Question 1 of 3

Does your accountant reply the same working day?

What you get

Tax investigation cover at no charge

Other firms sell it as an add-on. We carry it ourselves for every client, and every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.

One fee for the whole compliance year

VAT, bookkeeping, payroll, year-end accounts and corporation tax under one fixed fee agreed before we start. Calls, meetings and emails are never on the invoice.

Your corporation tax explained before it is due

We compute the tax alongside the accounts and tell you the figure and the date in plain terms, with the reliefs you are entitled to claimed.

What owners tell us when they ring

These are the three things we hear most from company directors in Cardiff and Newport.

  • “My accounts turned up nine months after the year end and the tax bill was already overdue.”

    The money had been spent. The director paid interest on a figure he could have known about months earlier.

  • “HMRC wrote about a VAT quarter and my accountant wanted a fee before he would even read it.”

    Two weeks went by before anyone replied to HMRC, and the director handled the first letter himself.

  • “I got invoiced for a ten-minute phone call, so now I just do not ring.”

    He sat on a question about a second van for a year, and the VAT treatment cost him.

  • What changes once we take it on

    Every deadline for the year is mapped in week one, so you are not the one chasing us. The accounts and the corporation tax are prepared from bookkeeping we have already checked each quarter. You ring us whenever you want and it costs nothing.

How this compares with the usual arrangement

Plenty of firms do good work on this basis. Here is the difference in practice.

A year-end-only accountant

Accounts prepared months after the year end

Bookkeeping and VAT handled somewhere else

Phone calls and emails billed by the hour

Investigation cover sold as an extra each year

With Supreme Consultants

Books checked each quarter, so the year end is quick

VAT, payroll, accounts and corporation tax in one place

Calls, meetings and emails never charged for

Investigation cover included free for every client

Eight questions about how your company accounts are run

If you answer no to three or more, there is work sitting with you that should not be.

  • Do you know the date your accounts are due at Companies House?

    The penalty starts the day after the filing date and climbs the longer it runs.

  • Is your bookkeeping done through the year rather than in one go at the year end?

    Twelve months of receipts in one box is where errors and missed costs come from.

  • Do your VAT returns and your year-end accounts come from the same records?

    When they do not match, HMRC notices before you do.

  • Does anyone check your corporation tax for reliefs before it is filed?

    Reliefs you are entitled to are only claimed if somebody looks for them.

  • Did you know your fee before the work started?

    We agree the figure in writing first and it does not move.

  • Can you ring with a small question without getting an invoice?

    The small questions are usually where the money gets saved.

  • Has anyone talked you through salary and dividends this year?

    How you pay yourself changes what you keep, and it is worth revisiting annually.

  • If HMRC opened a check tomorrow, is it covered?

    Our clients are covered free, and we deal with HMRC ourselves.

What the investigation cover means when a letter arrives

A VAT-registered retail client opened a letter from HMRC querying one quarter’s return. We had the file in front of us that day and dealt with HMRC directly.

I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!

How switching to us works

From your side it is mostly a matter of saying yes.

  1. Before you join

    A free introductory chat

    Tell us where things stand. If we cannot genuinely help, we will say so.

  2. Week one

    Fee agreed and records requested

    We complete your ID checks, put the fixed fee in writing, and write to your current accountant for the handover. You do not have that conversation.

  3. First month

    Your last accounts reviewed

    We go through your filed accounts, returns and HMRC records. This is where missed reliefs and appealable penalties usually turn up.

  4. By ninety days

    Deadlines mapped and pay plan set

    VAT, payroll, accounts and corporation tax diarised for the year. We also talk through salary and dividends so you keep as much as you can.

Free handoverFree first monthFree move to XeroFree Companies House ID verification

Who we are not right for

We do not act for CIS construction subcontractors.

We do not take on charities.

We do not pick up businesses that are already some way into an HMRC investigation.

If none of those describe you, run the check and we will tell you where you stand.

Limited company accounts: questions people ask

How much do limited company accounts cost?

We work on a fixed monthly fee agreed in writing before any work starts, and it does not move during the year. What sets it depends on your turnover, whether you are VAT registered, how many transactions and payroll staff you have, and how tidy the records are. We quote after the introductory chat rather than guess at it.

Can I switch accountants partway through my financial year?

Yes, and most clients do. We write the professional clearance letter to your current accountant and collect your records, so you avoid that conversation. We then get appointed as your agent with HMRC and Companies House. Switching includes a free handover, free Companies House ID verification where required, a free first month and free migration to Xero.

What happens if HMRC writes to me or opens a check?

You forward us the letter and we take it from there, dealing with HMRC directly on your behalf. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, where other firms sell it as a yearly add-on. Every HMRC investigation this practice has handled, we have won. We cannot promise an outcome, but you will not get a separate bill for the work.

Do I have to change my bookkeeping software?

No. We work with the system you already use, and we will tell you honestly if it is causing problems. If you do want to move to Xero, the migration is free when you join us. Making Tax Digital for VAT needs compatible software, so we will check yours meets the requirement before your next return.

When are limited company accounts and corporation tax due?

Statutory accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your accounting reference date, and the corporation tax payment is due nine months and one day after your year end. The company tax return itself is due twelve months after the year end. We diarise all three in week one and work to our own earlier dates.

My accounts and filings are already late. Will you still take me on?

Yes. Rebuilding neglected records and bringing overdue filings back up to date is work we do regularly. We start with your HMRC and Companies House position so you know exactly what is outstanding, then file in the order that limits the penalties. Where a penalty can be appealed, we will appeal it.
