don't ignore overdue accounts
missed your company accounts deadline?
Missing a Companies House filing deadline can be stressful, but ignoring overdue accounts can make the situation more difficult.
​
Companies House can impose late filing penalties when annual accounts are submitted after the filing deadline, and penalties can increase depending on how late the accounts are. Persistent failure to meet filing obligations can also lead to more serious consequences.
​
If your accounts are already overdue, the priority should be understanding what's outstanding and getting the required information together so the accounts can be prepared and filed as soon as reasonably possible.

Falling behind doesn't necessarily mean your business is disorganised. Records can become overdue for all sorts of reasons, a change of accountant, missing bookkeeping, unexpected business pressures or simply a filing deadline being overlooked.
​
We can help review the position, prepare your outstanding company accounts and deal with the accounting work required to bring your records up to date.

Where bookkeeping is incomplete or information is missing, we'll explain what we need and identify areas that may need attention before the accounts can be finalised.
We can also consider the related Corporation Tax position and help you understand any other accounting obligations that may need dealing with alongside your overdue accounts.

Sometimes overdue company accounts are only part of the problem.

overdue company accounts FAQ
_edited.png)
what happens if my company accounts are overdue?
If your company accounts are filed after the Companies House deadline, your company may receive an automatic late filing penalty. The amount can increase depending on how late the accounts are, and repeated late filing can result in higher penalties. It's important to deal with outstanding accounts as soon as possible rather than allowing the situation to continue.
can an accountant help with overdue company accounts?
Yes. We can review your circumstances, identify what information is needed and help prepare your outstanding statutory accounts. If records or bookkeeping are incomplete, we'll explain what needs to be provided or brought up to date before the accounts can be finalised and submitted. Our aim is to make the process straightforward and help you get your company back on track.
what if my bookkeeping isn't up to date?
Don't worry if your bookkeeping isn't completely up to date before contacting us. This is common when company accounts have fallen behind. We can review the records you have, identify missing information and explain what needs to be completed before reliable year-end accounts can be prepared. We can also provide ongoing bookkeeping support to help keep your records organised going forward.
I've received a Companies House penalty. Do I still need to file my accounts?
Yes. Receiving or paying a late filing penalty does not remove your company's obligation to submit its outstanding accounts. If you've already received a penalty notice, it's important to deal with the outstanding filing rather than assuming the penalty has resolved the matter. We can help you understand what accounting information is required and work with you to get your accounts prepared and submitted.
I've missed my Companies House deadline. What should I do?
If your filing deadline has already passed, the important thing is to take action rather than continue delaying the accounts. Start by gathering the accounting records you have available and contact us to discuss what's outstanding. We'll review your circumstances, explain what information is required and help you work towards getting your company accounts brought up to date.
can you help with Corporation Tax as well?
Yes. Company accounts and Corporation Tax are closely connected. Where required, we can help with your company's Corporation Tax position alongside preparing your annual accounts. We'll consider the information available, relevant business expenses, allowances and applicable tax reliefs when preparing the necessary figures and help you understand any outstanding obligations.
how much do company accounts cost?
Our company accounts services start from £350 for trading companies and £150 for dormant companies, depending on the level of business activity and complexity involved. We always aim to keep our pricing clear, transparent, and affordable, with no hidden fees. Before any work begins, we’ll explain exactly what is included so you know what to expect.
can you help if more than one year of company accounts is overdue?
Yes. If your company has accounts outstanding for more than one accounting period, contact us and explain the situation. We'll establish which periods are outstanding, review the records available and explain what will be required to bring your accounts up to date. The amount of work involved will depend on your individual circumstances and the quality of the accounting records available.
how quickly can you prepare overdue company accounts
The time required depends on the complexity of your company and whether your bookkeeping and financial records are complete. Once we've reviewed your circumstances and received the information required, we'll be able to give you a clearer indication of the work involved. If you're facing an urgent deadline or have already received correspondence from Companies House, let us know when you contact us.
