Limited Companies

Owner-managed businesses, our largest cohort.

CT600 & statutory accounts Director remuneration Dividend strategy PSC & CS01
Overview Overview

From a one-director consultancy through to a £15m West-Country group with subsidiaries. We handle statutory accounts, corporation tax, payroll, dividend planning, and the whole rhythm of running a UK Ltd properly — including the unfashionable parts like Companies House confirmation statements and PSC registers. Most clients sit between £100k and £2m turnover — the small-and-medium-business middle, where we do our best work.

Working Rhythm

The shape of a
year with us.

Monthly: bookkeeping reconciled, payroll run, management accounts to the directors. Quarterly: VAT, KPI review, cash-flow forecast updated. Annually: statutory accounts and the CT600, plus a January conversation about director remuneration for the year ahead. The rhythm is the deliverable — it isn’t a series of one-off jobs strung together.

Pitfalls Where it goes wrong

The mistakes a
generalist misses.

Each is something we’ve seen multiple times in inherited engagements — and something we now check for as a matter of course.

  • N° 01

    Director remuneration set at incorporation and never re-tuned — missing 2–4% of post-tax income each year as thresholds shift.

  • N° 02

    Associated companies treated casually — relevant for the corporation-tax marginal-rate band, the VAT threshold, and a half-dozen other places where the rules have teeth.

  • N° 03

    Dividend timing that ignores accumulated profits and the tax year — paid at year-end out of habit, when a 1 April / 6 April split would have saved meaningfully.

  • N° 04

    PSC register and confirmation statements falling out of date — small filing breaches that compound into a tarnished record at Companies House.
