Sound familiar?
Year-end is coming. Are the books ready?
For most small limited companies, year-end accounts are something that happens to them rather than something they plan for. The deadline arrives, the books are behind, the accountant is chasing bank statements, and nobody is quite sure what the Corporation Tax bill is going to be. It is not a crisis — but it is more expensive and more stressful than it needs to be.
- ✕ Books not reconciled by the time the filing deadline arrives
- ✕ Corporation Tax bill unclear until the last possible moment
- ✕ Companies House deadline missed or filed in a rush with errors

What limited company clients say
OD Accountants has been working with UK limited companies for over a decade. These are verified Google reviews from clients who have been through year-end and stayed.
My other-half introduced me to Niall at OD Accountants and I have to say my finances are so much the better for it. Unlike my previous Accountants, Niall is far more hands-on, available for advice and able to care for me as an individual, rather than a faceless client. His fees are very reasonable and the money he has saved me more than covers them. If you need an Accountant who cares, Niall and OD Chartered Management Accountants are the way to go.
The service from OD has been excellent, as has their advice. It's great to have access to a financial team who can guide us with such confidence and seamlessly integrate with our internal team. We always feel well-informed and confident about our financial processes and data. Highly recommend.
Everything the annual cycle requires
Year-end accounts from OD Accountants covers the full statutory cycle — from accounts preparation through to Corporation Tax and Companies House — under one fixed fee.
Statutory Accounts Preparation
Annual statutory accounts prepared in accordance with UK GAAP, ready for director approval. Records are drawn from your cloud accounting platform — Xero or equivalent — so preparation is faster and the risk of errors is lower. No last-minute requests for information you filed months ago.
Included as standardCorporation Tax Return and Planning
Your Corporation Tax liability is calculated and the CT600 filed with HMRC as part of the same engagement. The tax position is visible before the payment deadline, not after — which means there is time to consider your options rather than simply react to a figure. Allowances, deductions and timing are reviewed as a matter of course.
Included as standardCompanies House Filing — ACSP
OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, which means statutory filings go directly to Companies House under the firm's ACSP registration. Accounts are filed on time, in the correct format, with a confirmation of submission provided. The obligation is met — you do not need to manage it.

What makes this different from most firms
There is no shortage of accountants who will file your statutory accounts. These are the specific reasons clients stay for a decade rather than switching after year one.
ACSP — No Third-Party Filing
OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider registered directly with Companies House. Statutory accounts are filed by the firm under its own ACSP status — not routed through a software portal or a third-party agent. The submission is the firm's responsibility, which is the way it should be.
Management Accounting Depth Behind Compliance
Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent 10+ years as a freelance accountant specialising in restructures and turnarounds, including listed companies. That background means year-end is not just a filing exercise — the accounts are reviewed with a commercial eye. If something in the numbers warrants a conversation, you will hear about it.
Cloud-First — Clean Books Year-Round
Year-end accounts are faster and more accurate when the bookkeeping has been current throughout the year. OD Accountants works cloud-first — Xero and best-of-breed integrations — so the records the statutory accounts are drawn from are reliable, not reconstructed at deadline. The scramble for bank statements and receipts is largely avoidable.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are onboarded and have a clear picture of their year-end position within a few working days of getting in touch.
Book a discovery call
A short call — typically 20 to 30 minutes — to understand your company's situation, current accounting setup, and what the year-end engagement needs to cover. You do not need to prepare anything formal. Just know roughly where your books are.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
A clear written proposal with a fixed fee covering the full statutory cycle — accounts preparation, Corporation Tax return and Companies House filing. No hourly rates, no estimates that grow. The price is agreed before any work starts.
Share access to your records
If your books are on Xero or another cloud platform, access is granted in a few clicks. If there is catch-up work needed, that is scoped and quoted separately — honestly, not inflated. The firm handles the rest.
Accounts filed. Tax visible.
Statutory accounts are approved, filed and confirmed. Your Corporation Tax liability is clear in time to plan the payment. Companies House is updated. The year is closed — and you know exactly where you stand going into the next one.
“Been with OD Accountants for over a year now. Niall and the team are brilliant. They helped me set up a company and get everything I needed in place to run my business. I'm a tricky client due to my 'digital nomad' status, but their advice…”
Things clients usually ask first
What does year-end accounts actually include — is Corporation Tax filed separately?
No. The statutory accounts, Corporation Tax return (CT600) and Companies House filing are all handled within the same engagement and the same fixed fee. There is no separate invoice for the tax return. The only items that sit outside the standard scope are personal tax returns for directors — those are quoted separately if needed.
How is the fee calculated, and what determines the price?
Fees are fixed and agreed before any work starts. The main factors are the complexity of the company's trading, the state of the bookkeeping records, and whether catch-up work is needed. Clients consistently describe the pricing as very reasonable — and for many, the tax savings identified during the process more than cover the cost of the engagement. A clear quote is provided after the discovery call.
My books are behind and the deadline is approaching — is it too late?
It is rarely too late, though late catch-up does cost more than staying current. If there is a real deadline pressure, that is flagged on the discovery call and the catch-up work is scoped honestly alongside the statutory accounts. The firm handles both, so there is no back-and-forth between a bookkeeper and an accountant. The sooner contact is made, the more options there are.
Is there a contract? What happens if I decide to leave after year-end?
There is no long-term contract. Year-end accounts can be engaged as a one-off, or as part of an ongoing relationship. Clients who stay tend to stay for years — which is the aim — but there is no obligation. If you leave, you leave with filed accounts, a copy of all workings, and nothing outstanding.
Can you file accounts for a dormant company or one that has traded for the first time?
Yes to both. Dormant company accounts are a specific filing requirement — straightforward but easy to miss — and first-year accounts for newly incorporated companies have some particular considerations around the accounting period length. Both are well within scope and handled routinely.
How early will I know what my Corporation Tax bill is going to be?
The aim is to have the Corporation Tax liability confirmed well before the nine-month payment deadline — not the day before. That means there is time to consider whether to make an additional pension contribution, review capital allowances, or simply plan the cash outflow properly. Tax visibility is part of the service, not an afterthought.
Year-end does not have to be a last-minute problem.
