Running a limited company comes with unique financial responsibilities and opportunities. At Oxbridge Accountants, our specialist limited company accountants provide tailored solutions that help your business thrive while ensuring full compliance with Companies House and HMRC regulations. We combine technical expertise with commercial insight to deliver accounting services that support your company's growth and protect your financial interests.
Why Limited Companies Need Specialist Accountants
The accounting requirements for limited companies differ significantly from sole traders or partnerships. With obligations including corporation tax returns, annual accounts, confirmation statements, and director's responsibilities, the stakes are higher and the penalties for non-compliance more severe. Our limited company specialists understand these complexities inside out, ensuring you meet all legal requirements while implementing tax-efficient strategies that sole practitioner accountants might miss. We act as both compliance experts and strategic advisors for your business.

We provide a complete accounting solution tailored to limited companies of all sizes. Our services encompass everything from day-to-day bookkeeping and management accounts to year-end financial statements and corporation tax returns. We handle all Companies House filings, ensuring your company remains in good standing, and provide directors with clear, timely financial information to support decision-making. Whether you're a startup or established company, our scalable services grow with your business needs.
Strategic Tax Planning for Limited Companies
One of the key benefits of operating through a limited company is the potential for tax efficiency, but this requires careful planning. Our specialists help structure your company's finances to minimize tax liabilities while remaining fully compliant. We advise on optimal salary/dividend mixes, pension contributions, R&D tax credits, and capital allowances. For companies with international operations, we provide guidance on transfer pricing and cross-border tax considerations. Our proactive approach often results in significant tax savings that directly boost your bottom line.

Payroll and Directors' Responsibilities

Our limited company accountants manage all aspects of payroll processing, including RTI submissions to HMRC, pension auto-enrolment, and benefits reporting. We ensure directors' remuneration packages are structured tax-efficiently while meeting all employment law requirements. For companies with multiple employees, we provide full payroll bureau services that save time and reduce compliance risks.
