Limited Company Accountancy
Compare limited company accountants from £83/month — annual accounts, corporation tax returns and Companies House filings. Get matched today.
Running a UK limited company means filing annual accounts with Companies House, submitting a corporation tax return (CT600) to HMRC, and keeping statutory records. Most owner-managed businesses also need quarterly VAT returns and payroll if they employ staff. The right accountant saves time, reduces tax, and keeps you compliant with Companies Act and MTD requirements.
Do I need an accountant for a limited company?
It is not a legal requirement, but most directors should hire one for accounts, CT600 and the confirmation statement. Skip a monthly package only if the company is dormant and you will file on time yourself — and you know those dates.
Corporation tax is due nine months and one day after the period ends; the return is due within 12 months. An accountant who misses those dates costs more than a dearer firm that files. MTD for VAT is already live if you are VAT-registered. HMRC has said it does not intend to introduce MTD for Corporation Tax.
How much does a limited company accountant cost?
Most UK accountants charge £83–£227 per month for a micro limited company on our editorial benchmarks. Annual-only packages typically range from £960–£1,800. VAT and payroll are usually add-ons. Confirm the current quote with the firm.
The low end is a simple owner-managed company on cloud software. The high end is VAT, payroll and several directors. Compare three written quotes on the same scope.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a limited company accountant cost?▼
Most UK accountants charge £83–£227 per month for a micro limited company, depending on turnover, VAT registration, and payroll. Annual-only packages typically range from £960–£1,800.
Do I need an accountant for a limited company?▼
It is not a legal requirement, but most directors use an accountant for corporation tax, year-end accounts, and to avoid penalties. MTD-compatible software already matters for VAT-registered companies, since MTD for VAT is live.
