What does a limited company have to do each year?
File statutory accounts with Companies House, file a Company Tax Return and pay corporation tax to HMRC, and confirm its details with a confirmation statement. You may also need to run payroll, submit VAT returns, and submit a Self-Assessment return of your own. I get you the help you need with as much or as little of it as you want.

How should I pay myself as a director?
Most single-director companies combine a modest salary through payroll with dividends from profits after corporation tax. The right mix depends on your profit and your other income, and it changes when the rates do.

A dormant company still files accounts and a confirmation statement every year.
Can you take over from my current accountant mid-year?
