What if I do it myself with software?
Software can generate documents and handle tagging and submission. Its checks are not a substitute for complete records or professional advice.
If you want to see what is available, HMRC’s software supplier list shows the filing routes. Being listed is not a recommendation for your circumstances.
What is managed preparation?
A preparer works from an agreed set of records, asks questions and prepares documents for you to approve. When you compare services, look at whether these are included:
- bookkeeping
- accounts
- the tax computation
- both filings
- amendments
Would you rather someone else did it?
We prepare your annual accounts and Company Tax Return, bookkeeping included, so there’s no software to learn. It’s £199 for turnover up to £90,000, or £499 for turnover above £90,000.
See our pricesWhat is submission-only work?
This starts from accounts and tax figures that have already been prepared, which is not the same as preparing accounts from bank statements. Confirm who is responsible for the figures and the final documents.
How do I compare the total cost?
Look at the whole commitment, not just the headline price. Check:
- VAT
- annual renewal
- per-company charges
- long-period returns
- extra Companies House filing fees charged by a provider
- support
- exclusions
Companies House itself does not charge for annual accounts filing. You can see our price and service scope to compare.
