Frequently Asked Questions

1. Complete the contact form or email enquiries@quickfireaccounts.com. Make sure you include a phone number where we can reach you.

2. We’ll call back, gather a little more information about your business, confirm the price and talk you through our processes.

3. If you decide to go ahead, we’ll send you an email with a list of the information we need. It will include things like bank statements (in a CSV file format) and access codes so that we can submit your accounts and corporation tax return. We have to comply with UK money laundering legal requirements, so we also have to ask for a copy of your passport or driving licence.

4. We’ll also send a link so that you can sign up for our direct debit.

5. Once we’ve received the information and the direct debit is in place, we’ll prepare your accounts and corporation tax return and email them to you. This normally takes less than three days, so long as we have everything.

6. We’ll also tell you how to pay HMRC if you do owe them tax.

7. We’ll also send an invoice and trigger the direct debit payment. Once payment is received, we’ll file your accounts with Companies House and submit your corporation tax return to HMRC. We can do it quicker if there is an urgent deadline, but payment needs to be received before we can submit the accounts and tax return.

c) A bank statement, ideally in a .csv format (we can accept a PDF file, but the price is higher), which covers the whole of your accounting period and includes the balances (at the very least the opening and closing balances).

d) a simple list of who you owed money to at the end of your accounting period and how much.

e) a similar simple list of who owed you money at the end of your accounting period and how much.

f) If the company has filed accounts before, then we also need the last set of accounts, the trial balance, what's that? for those accounts, and the last corporation tax return, along with the tax computations for that year.
