Our Services in York

Our comprehensive range of accounting services in York is designed to support your business at every stage, providing you with the financial clarity and confidence needed to thrive in a competitive environment.

What are Annual Company Accounts?

Annual company accounts are a set of financial statements that every limited company in the UK must prepare and submit to Companies House and HMRC each year. These accounts provide a snapshot of your business’s financial performance and position over the previous financial year. They typically include a balance sheet, a profit and loss account, and supporting notes that give further details about your financial activities.

Preparing accurate annual accounts is not only a legal requirement but also an essential tool for understanding your company’s health and planning for the future.

Who Needs to Do Annual Accounts?

It’s important to know which types of businesses in York are legally required to prepare and file annual accounts:

  • Limited Companies: All private limited companies (Ltd) and public limited companies (PLC) registered in the UK must prepare and file annual accounts with Companies House and HMRC.
  • Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs): LLPs also have to file annual accounts with Companies House and HMRC, similar to limited companies.
  • Community Interest Companies (CICs): These social enterprises must file annual accounts, along with a community interest report.
  • Charities Registered as Companies: Charitable organisations registered as companies need to file annual accounts with Companies House, in addition to meeting the Charity Commission’s reporting requirements.

Sole traders do not need to prepare or file annual accounts with Companies House, but they must still complete a Self-Assessment tax return each year and maintain accurate financial records.

I have used Yorkshire Accountancy for 5 years and would highly recommend them. Great communication and provided great advice when I was unsure about accountancy tasks. Always happy to help.
We’ve recently moved to Yorkshire Accountancy after our previous accountant retired following 33 years of working together, and the experience so far has been excellent. Even in just a couple of months, they’ve shown a real understanding of our business and how we operate at Scribes Digital Print. Their monthly pay-as-you-go model is a brilliant fit for us — flexible, scalable, and designed to grow alongside our business needs. They provide quarterly accounts health checks, VAT return services, payroll support, and handle our annual accounts, which gives us real peace of mind. We use Xero for our day‑to‑day bookkeeping, and it’s been reassuring to know that Yorkshire Accountancy have genuine experts on hand who can support every aspect of the platform. The transition has been smooth, professional, and refreshingly proactive. Highly recommended for any business looking for modern, responsive, and knowledgeable accountancy support.
Great accounting, top support, returns and filing always ahead of time. The team is happy to help with questions and suggestions. Happy customer for years.
Nick and his team at Yorkshire Accountancy have been pleasure to work with. From the very first meeting they took the time to understand my business and gave clear, practical advice that’s easy to follow. They’re always quick to respond to questions, and their support has taken the stress out of managing my accounts. The team is professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping businesses grow. I now feel much more confident about my finances, and I’d happily recommend Yorkshire Accountancy to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable accountants.
