End of year (EOY)
End of year accounts are a statutory obligation, not an optional tidy-up. Every limited company has to file annual accounts with Companies House, and most businesses also need to reconcile the year’s figures for HMRC at the same time. Miss the deadline and the penalties start immediately and increase the longer accounts stay outstanding.
End of year accounts
Getting to a clean set of year-end accounts means pulling together twelve months of bookkeeping, reconciling it against bank records, and presenting it in the format Companies House and HMRC actually require, not just a spreadsheet that makes sense to you. Done properly, it also gives you a genuine read on how the business performed over the year, not just a compliance exercise to get through.
Our finance experts can take this on as a single, focused project at year-end, or provide ongoing bookkeeping support throughout the year so the year-end accounts are a formality rather than a scramble, pulling together records that are already accurate rather than reconstructing twelve months of transactions in a rush. We also work with QuickBooks, Xero and other platforms, so your day-to-day bookkeeping and your year-end accounts are built on the same consistent data rather than two different systems that don’t quite agree.
Get Ahead specialises in filling exactly this kind of gap. If year-end accounts have become an annual scramble because there’s no one in-house dedicated to getting them right, this is what the service is built for, and you only pay for the hours the work actually takes.
Why outsource your end of year accounts?
A rushed set of accounts costs more than a properly planned one, in accountant fees, in penalties if a deadline slips, and in the time you lose to it every single year. An outside expert who’s done this for other businesses knows exactly what Companies House and HMRC expect, which means fewer queries kicked back and a cleaner filing the first time.
