Year-End Accounts in Manchester
Year-end shouldn’t mean panic. We prepare statutory accounts for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships across Greater Manchester, file them with Companies House and HMRC, and track every deadline so you never get a penalty letter. Then we sit down and explain what the numbers actually mean for your business.
What’s included.
The accounts themselves, the tax that follows them, and an explanation you can actually use.
- Statutory accounts for limited companies, prepared under the correct reporting standard and filed at Companies House.
- Sole trader and partnership accounts, prepared so the self-assessment returns flow straight from them.
- Corporation tax computations and the company tax return, prepared alongside the accounts and filed with HMRC.
- Every Companies House and HMRC deadline tracked, with reminders well ahead.
- Director’s loan accounts reviewed and dividend paperwork checked before the year is signed off.
- A plain-English review meeting: what moved, why, and what to watch next year.
- A clean handover from your bookkeeping, whoever does it.
- Accounts in a form lenders and mortgage brokers will accept.
How it works.
The useful part of year-end work happens before the year ends. A short pre-year-end conversation, tied into our tax planning service, catches the decisions that cannot be made retrospectively: timing of spending, dividends, and pension contributions.
After the year end, we pull the records from Xero or QuickBooks, resolve the queries in one organised list rather than a drip of emails, and prepare the accounts and the corporation tax computation together, since each depends on the other. Our corporation tax guide explains how the pieces fit if you want the detail.
Then we file, tell you what to pay and when, and go through the accounts with you in plain English. That review is where a director’s loan issue or an undocumented dividend gets caught while it is still fixable; our guide to director’s loan accounts covers why that matters. We do this for businesses across Greater Manchester, from the trades around Trafford Park to long-standing family firms in Worsley and Monton.
Who it’s for.
Limited companies that must file whatever else is happening. Sole traders whose accounts feed their self-assessment. Partnerships and LLPs, where the accounts also drive each partner’s personal return.
Landlords running property through a company, who need statutory accounts alongside their rental records. And CIS subcontractors who need a year of deduction statements turned into accounts a lender will take seriously.
It suits people who want more than a filing service. The accounts are a legal obligation, but they are also the one time each year the whole business is laid out in order, and the review conversation is where that becomes useful.

Common questions.
When are my company accounts due?
For most private companies, accounts are due at Companies House nine months after the end of the financial year, and corporation tax has its own payment and filing dates on top. We track every deadline for every client and start the work early enough that none of them is ever close.
Do I need an audit?
Most small private companies are exempt from audit, so for the businesses we act for the answer is usually no. If your company grows to the point where an audit is required, we will tell you early and help you appoint an audit-registered firm. Isaacs & Co does not provide statutory audit services.
What do you need from me at year end?
If your bookkeeping runs through us, almost nothing: we already have the ledger. Otherwise, access to your software or records, bank statements covering the year, and paperwork for anything unusual such as new loans, asset purchases or grants. We send a short checklist rather than a demand for a shoebox.
Can you take over from my previous accountant?
Yes, and it is more routine than people expect. With your permission we write to your previous accountant for professional clearance and copies of the prior accounts and computations, and we handle the whole exchange. You never need an awkward conversation.
My accounts are late and I already have a penalty. Can you still help?
Yes. We prioritise catch-up work, bring the filings up to date, and where there is a genuine reasonable excuse we will put an appeal to HMRC or Companies House. We cannot promise a penalty will be cancelled, but we can stop the situation getting worse.
