Who this is for
The problems we see most
Included in your plan
Your accounts should not only make sense after the deadline. We help you understand what the company is actually earning through the year.
Transactions, reconciliations, receipts, and recurring records are kept cleaner so reports and tax planning are based on dependable information.
Corporation tax, VAT, payroll, and director self assessment are handled with enough visibility to plan cash flow before payments are due.
We help you think through salary, dividends, tax timing, and personal tax so the director picture does not get treated separately from the company.
Business mileage, use of home as office, employer pension contributions, trivial benefits, training, professional subscriptions, and equipment are all reviewed so the company isn't paying more tax than it needs to.
You get clearer visibility over obligations, cash flow, and what the company can afford to invest, save, or distribute.
You speak directly with Aurestone when decisions come up, rather than waiting for generic answers after the fact.
Tax & MTD responsibilities
Practical experience
Aurestone supports an ongoing caseload of limited company directors, from first-time incorporations to established companies with employees and more complex structures. Salary and dividend planning, corporation tax timing, and turning year-end accounts into a clear next step for the director are regular, everyday work here — not something worked out from scratch each time.

Accounts are due at Companies House within 9 months of your company's financial year end. Corporation tax is due within 9 months and 1 day. We track all of this for you.
Usually a combination of both is most tax-efficient — a small salary up to the NI threshold and the rest as dividends. We'll review your situation and advise the right balance.
Common allowable expenses include business mileage, use of home as an office, employer pension contributions, trivial benefits, training and professional subscriptions, equipment and software, and reasonable staff or client entertainment within HMRC's rules.
You must register once your taxable turnover hits £90,000 in a 12-month rolling period. We'll monitor this for you and handle registration and returns when needed.
If your company is VAT registered, it already needs to file VAT returns under Making Tax Digital for VAT. Making Tax Digital for Corporation Tax has no confirmed mandatory start date yet, so it doesn't currently change how you file your company accounts or CT600 — we'll keep you updated if that changes.
Yes — and it's simple. We handle the professional clearance process with your existing accountant. You just let us know you want to switch and we take it from there.
