Expert accounting, tax, and compliance support for UK limited companies. Running a limited company means following strict rules from HMRC and Companies House. Missing deadlines or getting unclear tax advice can waste your time and money. At Central London Accountants, we help company directors stay compliant and make smart financial decisions.
We assist startups, single-director companies, and small-to-medium enterprises throughout London. Our ICAEW-regulated team takes care of your accounts, corporation tax, payroll, and director payments so you can focus on your business. You can expect clear advice, fixed fees, and proactive support.
Limited companies follow stricter rules than sole traders. As a company director, you must meet legal requirements from HMRC and Companies House, keep accurate financial records, and submit returns on time. Without expert help, it’s easy to make costly errors.
Limited company accounting includes more than just basic bookkeeping. You need to prepare statutory accounts, file corporation tax returns, manage director payroll and dividends, and meet compliance deadlines. Each task must follow specific UK rules, and mistakes can lead to penalties or extra tax bills.
That’s why many directors hire specialised accountants for limited companies instead of general ones. Expert support helps ensure your accounts are correct, your taxes are handled properly, and your company stays compliant year-round.
At Central London Accountants, we help limited companies from startups to growing SMEs. We guide you on your responsibilities, keep your records organised, and help you make decisions that protect both your company and your personal position as a director.
With our professional accounting services in London, you gain clarity and control. Instead of just reacting to deadlines, you benefit from ongoing compliance management and clear financial insights that support long-term business success.
Every limited company must file information with Companies House each year. This includes annual accounts and a confirmation statement with details on directors, shareholders, and the registered office address. Filing must be accurate and on time to avoid penalties.
HMRC sets strict tax deadlines for limited companies. Corporation tax returns, including the CT600, must be submitted within twelve months of the accounting period end. The tax is generally due nine months and one day after that. Companies must also file payroll reports and dividend records according to HMRC rules.
Limited companies must prepare their accounts according to UK standards. Directors must keep accurate records of income, expenses, payroll, and dividends. These records must be kept for the required time and made available if HMRC requests them.
Missing deadlines or submitting incorrect information can result in fines and interest charges. Repeated late filings can harm your company’s credit and reputation. In serious cases, directors may face personal penalties for ongoing issues.
If you've just started a limited company, it's important to get things right from the beginning. We help new directors understand their responsibilities to HMRC and Companies House, register for corporation tax, and set up the right accounting systems to avoid mistakes.
For established businesses, accurate reporting and compliance are key. We assist companies in preparing year-end accounts, filing corporation tax, and maintaining regular financial checks to ensure they stay compliant and stable.
Running a limited company alone can be tough. We partner with single-director businesses to manage accounts, payroll, dividends, and taxes, giving you peace of mind that everything is in good order.
With multiple directors or shareholders, clarity is essential. We help manage director pay, profit sharing, and financial reports to ensure transparency and smooth decision-making.
As your business grows, your accounting needs can get complicated. We support growing SMEs with management accounts, cash flow planning, and tax advice to help you scale confidently.
Based in Central London, we work with limited companies all over London and the UK. Our systems provide quick support, clear communication, and reliable compliance management no matter where you are.
We create precise statutory accounts that follow UK accounting rules and Companies House guidelines. Your year-end accounts are carefully checked to accurately represent your business and meet legal requirements.
Corporation tax is a vital duty for limited companies. We calculate your tax liability, prepare your CT600 return, and submit it to HMRC on time to help you avoid penalties and interest charges.
Management accounts give you regular updates on your business performance. We create simple, clear reports that help directors track profits, control costs, and make smart decisions throughout the year.
We set up payroll for directors and advise on salary and dividend plans. This ensures payments are processed correctly, reported to HMRC, and follow current tax rules.
We offer ongoing financial advice to help you understand your numbers. Our insights into cash flow and profit help you plan better and improve financial control.

London companies face unique challenges. Our experience with these businesses helps us offer guidance that fits the way companies operate in the city.
We believe you should know what you’re paying for. Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden costs or surprises.
We don’t wait until the end of the year to review your finances. Our proactive approach helps you find tax-saving opportunities, manage cash flow, and solve problems early.
As your company grows, your accounting needs change. We offer ongoing support, providing you with professional advice, clear answers, and reliable compliance management.
We start with a detailed discussion to learn about your business, its structure, and current accounting situation. This helps us identify your immediate needs, upcoming deadlines, and any compliance risks.
We check your existing records, past filings, and HMRC status. If you’re changing accountants, we handle the transition smoothly to avoid disruptions.
Good accounting relies on accurate systems. We help set up or assess your bookkeeping software, payroll systems, and record-keeping processes to ensure they are compliant and easy to use.
Throughout the year, we offer continuous accounting support, including bookkeeping checks, payroll processing, and management reports. This keeps your financial information current and helps you track performance.
At year-end, we prepare your statutory accounts and corporation tax return, making sure all submissions meet HMRC and Companies House rules. We also review your results to plan for the next accounting period.
Directors of limited companies often need guidance beyond regular reporting. We provide ongoing support, helping you handle HMRC queries, make financial decisions, and adapt to changes confidently.
We help limited companies manage their corporation tax all year long, not just at tax time. By regularly checking profits, we find ways to legally lower tax exposure and ensure your CT600 has the right figures.
Claiming the right expenses lowers your taxable profits. We help directors understand what counts as a claim, making sure expenses are recorded properly and backed by the right documents according to HMRC rules.
Capital allowances let limited companies get tax relief on certain assets like equipment and vehicles. We check your purchases to ensure you claim all eligible allowances and that they are properly recorded in your accounts.
Many directors receive their salaries through PAYE. We make sure payroll is set up correctly, Real Time Information is submitted on time, and National Insurance requirements are met. This creates a clear income structure and helps with state benefits when needed.
Dividends come from profits after tax and must follow legal rules. We provide advice on how much and when to pay dividends, and we help with the necessary documents, like dividend vouchers and board minutes, to ensure compliance with HMRC and company law.
Many directors of limited companies use a mix of salary and dividends. We assess your company’s profits and personal situation to suggest a structure that is compliant and minimises tax exposure.
For companies with multiple directors or shareholders, payment needs careful management. We help ensure payments are fair, clear, and well-documented, reducing disputes and HMRC scrutiny.
We prepare and submit your corporation tax return (CT600) using accurate accounts and records. We carefully review your figures to ensure the return is correct and follows HMRC rules.
Limited companies must file annual statutory accounts with Companies House. We prepare these accounts and submit them on time, helping you avoid late fees and protect your company’s record.
Each limited company must file an annual confirmation statement with details about directors, shareholders, and the registered office address. We handle this process to keep your information accurate and current.
