Companies House legislation requires that Corporation Tax for public and private limited companies be calculated by and final accounts signed off by, a Chartered or Certified Accountant.

It is however, considerably more cost effective for a business to provide their accountant with their final accounts rather than have the accountant prepare them from a pile of invoices, statements and expense receipts each year. After all, the accountant will usually employ a bookkeeper to prepare the accounts but charge the customer the accountant''s rate for doing so.

Richard Phillips Bookkeeping Services can prepare final accounts for small to medium sized limited companies for submission to an accountant for the calculation of Corporation Tax. We can also work in partnership with your existing, or other local, accountants to provide you with the complete service of filing accounts with Companies House.
