Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

1. What do you mean by ‘statutory accounts preparation?’

Statutory accounts preparation involves creating the necessary documentation from financial records for submission to HMRC at the end of the financial year. This process is required for limited companies and includes drafting a balance sheet, profit and loss account, notes on the accounts, and a director’s report in most cases.

2. Who uses statutory accounts preparation services?

Many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises and startups, use an accountant for this service to ensure their paperwork is in order and they are paying the correct amount of tax. In addition, mortgage lenders and landlords often require statutory accounts to be prepared by an accountant.

“I have used Golding Accountancy for completing my property tax each year.”

I have used Golding Accountancy for several years now to sort out my property tax. Being completely ignorant in this area I have always relied on them to help me through this minefield and explain things along the way. They always take time to answer my questions and I have been more than happy with their service over the years. Particular thanks to Anthony Burrell for his patience!

Christine Petherick

“Best accountants by far”

Ian, Anthony and the rest of the team at Golding are helpful, professional and friendly. The team have completed my self assessment each year swiftly and efficiently without a hitch, they are always on hand to answer questions and provide advice regarding my accounts. Golding has also provided help and assistance when I re-mortgaged (twice) when my mortgage advisor asked me for information I didn’t even understand. Golding Accountancy go the extra mile and I would recommend them 100% for anyone looking for an accountancy firm.

Jim Miller

“#TeamGolding”

I have used Golding Accountants since January 2017 for my Sole Trader accounts & Tax Returns. Initially with Ian Butler and subsequently with Anthony Burrell, both have been extremely professional in their approach.

If I have any queries they are easily accessed by email or more than happy to take time out of their hectic schedule to reassure me.

My Tax Returns come back to me extremely quickly & easily understandable.

I am more than happy to endorse them both.
