First Year Accounts for Limited Company in Warminster, Prepared and Filed With Professional Support

The first set of statutory accounts is a milestone for any newly incorporated company, and it often arrives with more questions than expected — which reporting framework applies, what Directors need to approve, and what Companies House actually needs to receive. For limited companies in Warminster, we prepare first-year accounts from the accounting records you hold, review the figures with you before anything is finalised, and file the statutory accounts with Companies House where required. Where your company also has Corporation Tax obligations, we can help you understand how a CT600 fits alongside the accounts — that return goes to HMRC and is a separate filing with a separate purpose. Whether your company has been trading throughout its first period or has seen very little activity so far, the first accounting period still needs to be dealt with properly rather than left to drift.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

Your first filing timeline

Incorporation

Your first filing timeline depends on your company's incorporation date and accounting reference date.

Accounting reference date

Set by default to the last day of the month of incorporation, one year on.

First accounts due

Normally 21 months after incorporation at Companies House.

First CT600 due

12 months after the end of the accounting period, with tax due earlier.

What Are First Year Accounts for a Micro Company, and Which Warminster Limited Companies Qualify?

First-year accounts are the first set of statutory annual accounts a limited company prepares after incorporation. They cover the company’s initial accounting period, which normally starts on the date of incorporation and ends on the company’s first accounting reference date — a date fixed when the company is formed and capable of being changed in certain circumstances. Because that opening period does not always run for exactly twelve months, it is worth checking the dates recorded at Companies House rather than assuming a standard year end applies, since the company’s accounting reference date and period directly affect what has to be filed and when. The accounts themselves are built from the company’s accounting records: bank transactions, sales and income records, purchase invoices, business expenses, asset purchases, share capital details, director transactions, loans and any relevant payroll or VAT records. Depending on the framework used, the accounts typically include a balance sheet and may also include a profit and loss account and supporting notes. Company directors remain responsible for keeping adequate records and for approving the accounts, even when an accountant has been engaged to prepare them, so the figures should always be reviewed rather than simply signed off. Once complete and approved, the statutory accounts are delivered to Companies House where required. That filing is not the same as a Corporation Tax Return — a CT600 is submitted to HMRC, where applicable, and the two serve different purposes and go to different destinations. A confirmation statement is another separate obligation, and filing accounts does not replace it. Some companies may qualify to report as a micro-entity using FRS 105, the financial reporting standard for qualifying entities under the micro-entity framework, but eligibility depends on meeting the applicable conditions for the relevant accounting period and is never automatic. Likewise, a company with minimal or no activity is not automatically dormant — its reporting position depends on its own circumstances and the applicable rules, so it is worth taking advice before assuming nothing needs to be filed.

Does Your New Company Qualify as a Micro Entity?

Even in your first period, your company must meet the Companies House size criteria to file micro-entity accounts. A company generally needs to meet at least two of these three conditions.

Business Turnover

Annual Turnover of £1 Million or less. (£632,000 previously)

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet total of £500,000 or less.(£316,000 previously)

Company Size

On an average 10 or less employees (10 or less previously)

Prepare Your First Year Accounts for Limited Company in Warminster With Professional Support

If your company’s first accounting period is approaching its end and the records are still sitting in a folder or an app you have not fully reviewed, you are not alone — many directors incorporated a company and only later realised how much detail the first accounts require. Micro Entity Accounts can help you work through what is needed: tidying the accounting records, preparing the statutory accounts, confirming whether the micro-entity framework is likely to apply to your company, and filing with Companies House where required, while keeping the separate HMRC position in view. Getting the first year right sets a clear baseline for everything that follows, which is why it is worth having the figures checked by someone who deals with newly incorporated companies every day.

─── FAQs

First Year Accounts FAQs

Still unsure where you stand? Reach out to our UK team at info@microentityaccounts.co.uk and we will review your filing history with you.

What are first year accounts for a limited company?

They are the first set of statutory annual accounts a company prepares for its initial accounting period, which normally runs from the date of incorporation to the company's first accounting reference date. They are prepared from the company's accounting records, approved by the directors, and then delivered to Companies House where required. They are a statutory filing obligation rather than an optional exercise, even if the company has only recently started up.

When are a company's first accounts due?

The due date depends on the company's incorporation date, its accounting reference date and the applicable Companies House requirements, so there is no single answer that fits every new company. The first accounting period is not always exactly twelve months long, which is why it is important to check the company's own records at Companies House rather than working from an assumption. If you are unsure of your dates, we can review them with you and confirm what applies to your company.

What information do you need to prepare first-year accounts?

In most cases we ask for bank statements and transaction listings covering the whole period, sales and income records, purchase invoices and receipts, details of any assets bought, share capital information, director loan movements, and any payroll or VAT records where relevant. Not every company will have all of these — a company with limited activity may have very few transactions to report. The more complete the records, the more straightforward the preparation tends to be.

Do new limited companies have to file accounts with Companies House?

Where the filing requirements apply to the company, yes — a newly incorporated limited company is expected to prepare and file its first statutory accounts at Companies House. Having only just incorporated, or having had a quiet start, does not remove that obligation. If a company has genuinely had no significant accounting transactions, its reporting position still depends on its particular circumstances and the applicable rules rather than being automatically treated as dormant.

Are first-year accounts the same as a CT600?

No. The statutory accounts are filed with Companies House, while a Corporation Tax Return such as a CT600 is submitted to HMRC where the company has Corporation Tax obligations. The two filings have different purposes and different destinations, and completing one does not complete the other. The figures in the accounts often inform the Corporation Tax position, and the company's first Corporation Tax accounting period may not be identical to its statutory accounts period.

Can a new company in Warminster qualify for micro-entity accounts?

Some newly incorporated companies do qualify for the micro-entity framework, but it is not automatic and it should not be assumed simply because a company is small or newly formed. Eligibility depends on meeting the applicable conditions and thresholds for the relevant accounting period. Where a company does qualify, the accounts may be prepared under FRS 105, the financial reporting standard for qualifying entities using the micro-entity framework. We review eligibility as part of preparing the accounts rather than applying a framework by default.

Do first-year accounts replace the confirmation statement?

No. The confirmation statement is a separate filing that keeps the company's information at Companies House up to date, and it is not satisfied by filing statutory accounts. A newly incorporated company may need to deal with both, along with its Corporation Tax position, and each has its own requirements. It helps to track these obligations together so nothing is overlooked during the first year.

What happens if first-year accounts are filed late?

Failing to file required accounts by the applicable deadline can lead to consequences from Companies House, and those consequences can vary depending on how late the filing is and the company's filing history. Paying any penalty does not remove the need to file the outstanding accounts. If accounts are already overdue, the priority is usually to get the position resolved, and appeal eligibility, where it exists, depends on the circumstances and the applicable rules.
