I recently set up a limited company and LSC have been fantastic. They’ve always made time to answer my questions, no matter how silly they are. They have been extremely patient and always quick to respond to any queries I have. They have helped me understand my finances and tax implications. Would highly recommend to others, especially start ups like myself.

Can't recommend Lorraine at LSC enough, went into the shop knowing nothing about tax returns being so sceptical about starting my own business but with her knowledge and support, it's now something I'm capable of doing knowing I have a great accountant to go to.
Highly recommend, she was professional and very knowledgeable.
Massive thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Accountant’s around. After numerous attempts of trying to find an accountant Lorraine and her team picked up the slack, helped me along the way and proved why they’re the best in the business.

Lorraine's advice is invaluable. As a new business I didn't have a clue where to start.
Straight forward and sound advice and support put me on the right track, and reduced my worries.
I 100% recommend LSC Accounting.

To Whom It May Concern
Testimonial for LSC Accounting Limited

LSC Accounting Limited is an outstanding accountancy firm.

I know how to drive a calculator and park an invoice, but I was lost when it turned out my first accountant did not know how to read a map (gave wrong advice but that did not go with the analogy).

LSC Accounting helped sort out multiple payment issues, tax miscalculations and an incorrect furlough application moments before the deadline. Lorraine made time for me when I didn’t know what to do and gave professional advice in a timely manner.

Being inexperienced/newly self-employed, Lorraine took the time to help me through my first self-assessment and my first company accountants’ submission, and I feel like I am back in the driving seat.

Since then, the LSC team (Sean) has helped me with my first members of staff setting up PAYE and pensions.

I would have no hesitation recommending Lorraine of LSC Accounting Limited to anyone for any accounting needs.

Thank you, Lorraine
Yours Sincerely

Annual accounts North East

What is included in our accounts service?

Annual accounts are more than a year-end filing. They show how your business has performed, confirm your tax position and keep your company compliant with HMRC and Companies House.

At LSC Accounting, we prepare annual accounts for limited companies across the North East, making sure everything is accurate, filed on time and explained in plain English. You will know what the figures mean, what needs to be paid and what happens next.

Statutory Preparation

We prepare your annual accounts for limited companies and sole traders, ensuring full compliance with HMRC and Companies House requirements.

Tax Planning

Beyond just filing, we review your figures to identify legitimate tax-saving opportunities and ensure you never pay more than you owe.

Corporation Tax

Accurate calculation and submission of your CT600 returns, managing your tax liabilities and deadlines to avoid costly penalties.

Performance Review

We don't just send you the numbers; we explain them. Get a clear understanding of your business’s financial health and profitability.

The Goal: Total Compliance, Zero Stress

Our annual accounts service gives you a clear, accurate picture of your business while keeping your company compliant. We bring the figures together, prepare the required submissions and explain the outcome in a way that is easy to understand.

What you will see each month

We prepare your statutory accounts and Corporation Tax return, then file everything with HMRC and Companies House. We also help identify any key points from the year, including profit, tax position, director drawings, dividends and areas where planning may be useful.

Cleaner records make year end faster and more accurate. If we already handle your bookkeeping, VAT or payroll, the process is smoother because the information is already organised throughout the year.

How it works

  • We agree a fixed fee and timeline.
  • You send year end records or we use our bookkeeping.
  • We produce draft accounts, walk you through them, and file once approved.
  • We diarise next year’s dates and send reminders ahead of time.

Who we help

Sole directors, growing limited companies and trades/contracting firms that want tidy, timely filings and straightforward advice they can act on.

  • Fixed Fee Pricing: No surprise bills; just transparent, monthly or annual fees you can plan for.

  • Dividend paperwork and board minutes
  • Pre-year-end tax planning session
  • Group accounts or micro-entity to small-company transition support
