Important Statutory Scope & Software Information
Our standard fees cover general HMRC partnerships. Because LLPs require statutory Companies House annual financial statements (iXBRL) and an annual Confirmation Statement (CS01), an additional £20/month LLP compliance fee applies. (Note: The standard Companies House CS01 digital filing fee of £50 is recharged separately at direct cost).
Standard packages include tax returns for up to 2 partners. For partnerships with 3 or more partners, simply add £15/month per additional partner to cover their individual SA100 return, personal tax calculations, and profit allocation reconciliation.
Fixed compliance retainers assume digital ledgers and connected bank feeds are kept reconciled. If historical accounts require significant catch-up or backlog repair prior to submission, a transparent one-off Bookkeeping Rescue fee applies.
Cloud software subscriptions (e.g. Xero) are held directly in your partnership's name. We mandate direct licensing so your business retains 100% legal ownership and control of its financial records with zero accountant lock-in.
