Year end accounts

Hi Daneen, are the opening balances in Xero at 1 September 2024 already agreed to the last filed statutory accounts and Corporation Tax return, particularly the director’s loan and Bounce Back Loan balances, or would you like us to reconcile those opening positions as part of this year-end?

To start immediately, we need: Xero adviser access, Starling statement, prior-year accounts/CT600, Bounce Back Loan details, payroll records, and any support for unclear director’s loan entries.

Once received, we can begin immediately.

Before proposal, Please answer these questions:
1) Is the company a UK private limited company and is it currently active/trading?

2) Is the Xero account fully up to date through 31 August 2025, or are there unreconciled/uncategorised transactions beyond the corrections mentioned?

3) For the statutory accounts and CT600, do you already have an accountant/tax agent or are you looking for someone to handle the complete preparation and filing with Companies House and HMRC?

4) Regarding the director’s salary and P60, has payroll already been processed through Xero/another payroll system, or would you expect me to review/correct the payroll records and prepare the P60 as well?

5) For the Bounce Back Loan and director’s loan transactions, do you have the loan statements/supporting documents available for reconciliation?

6) Can you provide access to the Xero file and supporting documents before finalising the quote, so I can assess the bookkeeping corrections and confirm a fixed price?

Also tell me whether the Companies House filing deadline and HMRC CT deadline have already passed, because that could introduce urgency and potentially late-filing issues.
