Company filings for UK limited companies and accounting practices
Opening soon. Farside Accounting Ltd's registration with HMRC for anti-money-laundering supervision is in progress. We are happy to talk now, and will take on client work once that registration is confirmed.
Every limited company owes Companies House and HMRC a fixed set of filings each year. We track the dates, prepare each filing, and flag discrepancies in the company's details before anything goes in.
Figures checked against GOV.UK on 14 October 2026. General information, not advice.
