What this means for your company

If you run a limited company in South London, you have the same filing obligations as any UK company: accounts to Companies House nine months after your year end, a CT600 to HMRC within twelve months, corporation tax paid nine months and one day after the period ends, and a confirmation statement each year. We handle those for owner-managed companies across South London and the surrounding area.

A large base of trades, healthcare and consultancy companies operating from home offices and small units.

Most of the companies we help in South London are micro-entities: turnover under £1m, a small balance sheet, and one or two directors. That means short-form accounts, a company tax return, and a director Self Assessment that needs to agree with the dividends the company actually declared.

Local area: Southwark, Lambeth, Croydon, Merton and Sutton. Common postcodes: SE, SW and CR postcodes. We also work with companies in Croydon, Streatham, Tooting.

What we handle for local directors

Year-end accounts and the CT600, filed on time with reminders well before the deadline.

Bookkeeping, VAT registration once turnover approaches £90,000, and quarterly MTD returns.

PAYE payroll with RTI filed on or before payday, auto-enrolment pensions, and director salary planning.

How local meetings work

We work digitally with companies in South London: records through cloud bookkeeping, video calls when you want to talk something through, and email for quick questions. That keeps fees down and means deadlines do not depend on getting a paper file across South London.

“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. 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.”

“I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.”

“Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.”

Limited company accountants in South London: questions directors ask
