Financial Clarity Delivered

Company Accounts

We prepare and file your annual accounts accurately and on time, giving you a clear picture of how your business is performing — and what your numbers really mean.

Clear, Compliant, and Designed to Keep You Informed — Not Exposed

Producing your year-end company accounts isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about understanding your business performance, planning ahead, and staying compliant – without giving away more than you have to. At Welbourne & Co, we take care of preparing and filing your company’s statutory accounts in line with all Companies House and HMRC requirements. But we also go one step further: we help you understand what the figures mean, and we work strategically to keep the minimum required information in the public domain.

What’s Included

  • Preparation of full year-end accounts from your bookkeeping or records
  • A breakdown of key financial figures so you understand your business performance
  • Submission of your accounts to Companies House and HMRC
  • Corporation Tax calculations and review (linked to your tax return service)
  • Filing of abbreviated/filleted accounts to limit what’s published online
  • Optional review meeting (online or in-person) to go through your numbers

Why It Matters

Your accounts are a key part of your financial story – but that doesn’t mean the whole world needs to read it. Wherever possible, we file filleted accounts, which reduce what’s visible to the public and protect your privacy. You stay fully compliant, but with fewer details on display.

How We Work

We use cloud software and efficient systems to make the accounts process smooth, secure, and stress-free. We’ll remind you when your year-end is coming up, gather what we need, and keep you updated along the way. No chasing, no confusion. Whether you’re new to running a company or just want a more proactive accountant, we’ll help you stay ahead – and fully informed.

Let’s Make Your Year-End Easier

If you want clear accounts, personal advice, and less time spent worrying about deadlines, we’re here to help.

Local Expertise with a Personal Touch

Who we are

Welbourne & Co was founded in 2010 by Richard Welbourne with a simple idea: accountancy should be efficient, affordable, and genuinely helpful for business owners.

After years working in larger regional firms, Richard saw first-hand how traditional accountancy practices often came with hefty overheads and outdated systems. Determined to do things differently, he set up Welbourne & Co with a streamlined model—using smart technology instead of large offices, and passing those savings on to clients.

If I use Xero, do I still need an accountant?

Response

Yes. Xero is a brilliant bookkeeping tool, but bookkeeping is just the beginning.
