Professional bookkeeping services for limited companies
Limited Company Bookkeeping is a requirement by law but is also crucial for successful business management. Business accounts need to be completed for annually and bookkeeping for your small limited company is essential for the creation of business accounts and tax returns.
If your business is a limited company you will need to pay corporation tax, limited company accounts need to be submitted to companies house and both business accounts and tax returns need to be submitted to HMRC.
Limited company bookkeeping includes the recording of the limited company’s financial transactions, for example the limited company’s sales, expenses, staff salaries and loans the limited company might have.
What bookkeeping records should your small limited company keep?
It is a legal requirement that limited companies have double entry bookkeeping records. Double entry bookkeeping is a type of bookkeeping where transactions are recorded in terms of debits and credits, simply meaning that every transaction is recorded with their opposite entry.
Limited company bookkeeping can be done by yourself. However, if the limited company’s financial transaction documents are lacking organisation there is a high risk of paying more tax and submitting the limited companies tax return late which could result in you getting HMRC financial penalties.
