Does anyone really want to have to deal with monstrous end of year taxes?
Nope! So here at Mazuma, we make the process simple, and take you step-by-step through the usual procedure of sorting out your year end accounts. We can do this using our award-winning monthly service, or one of our one-off annual packages.
In the accountancy world, every business needs to prepare their complete accounts for HMRC and Companies House one year at a time. The ‘year end’ refers to the day that your company’s financial period ends.
If you’re a sole trader, we recommend setting your year end at April 5th – to match the end of the tax year. This avoids confusion with HMRC!
If you run your business through a limited company, then Companies House will set your year end as a year after the end of the month in which you created the company.
We’ll file all your accounts, there’s just a couple of things you’ll need to get together for us…
Once you have rounded up all the necessary paperwork, and then sent it to us, we’ll take care of the hard bit. You’ll save hours of your precious time and be able to focus on running your own business.
There are so many options out there to help you with your business accounts - you might even use one of them already. So why should you choose Mazuma over other accountants or online platforms?
When you choose Mazuma to assist with your year end accounts, you’ll be assigned your very own personal accountant. From getting your records in order right through to producing your actual tax return, it will all be taken care of by your accountant - who you can reach out to any time if you have any questions.
Not to mention, our entire business is run digitally. That means no time wasted going to unnecessary meetings and an all round cost efficient service - we cut our costs so that we can offer you a low price. All you have to do is pop us your info either in a Freepost envelope or submit digitally via our app and we take care of everything else. That’s right, it’s that simple. And from just £28 per month plus VAT, it’s a real bargain.

What we do for youChoosing to do your own year end accounts can be a costly choice. You could receive a fine for not filing on time or filing with mistakes, or even end up overpaying tax and missing out on benefits.
We’re more than happy to help you gather the correct documents and prepare all your year end accounts, ready for submission to HMRC and Companies House.
Our goal is to make the process simple and easy for you.
Oh, and we help make sure you dodge any of those pesky penalties.
Taxes can be daunting to think about. So, we make the process easy.
This year marks the beginning of Making Tax Digital (MTD), the new scheme from HMRC to get all businesses submitting their tax return digitally, straight from their accounting software directly to HMRC. You can find out more about Making Tax Digital on our website.
If you’re already in the Mazuma gang, there are no changes you need to make as Mazuma is already set up for MTD. If you’d like to find out more about how our services can help you get ready for the switch, or if you want more information about MTD, have a look at Making Tax Digital page or contact our friendly team for more information.
To do this you need to prepare your full annual accounts which will show your profit or loss for the period as well as a balance sheet that shows the net value of your business at the end of the year. You’ll also need to prepare a computation of your taxable profit – which may be an entirely different figure to the profit shown in your accounts! (we know, confusing isn’t it?!) Then you need to prepare all the forms that go along with those and submit them to HMRC online.
Knowing which version to file can be a challenge in itself!
Statutory accounts must include:
And if all that wasn’t enough, you also have to make sure your accounts are prepared following one of the following accounting standards:
Yes. HMRC require your Company Tax Return within 12 months after the end of the accounting period – (although you have to pay your corporation tax 9 months and 1 day after your company year end, so in real terms you need to get your company tax return within 9 months of the year end. See the handy table below!)
Companies House require your annual accounts within 9 months of your year end.
Unfortunately, again, yes.
If you don’t file your accounts with HMRC or Companies House, you will be penalised. These late-submission penalties start at £100 and keep increasing the longer you leave them, so you don’t wait to get caught!
We do our best to help you meet the deadlines, so there’s no need to stress.
We are the pioneers of hassle-free accounting who actually care about helping you out.
Our goal is to take as much of the stress of dealing with your end of year accounts away, and provide you with a reliable and cheap accounting service.
You can feel reassured and focus on what you’re really good at, like running your business successfully.
