Accounts Preparation

Sole trader, partnership, and limited company accounts prepared to UK standards — ready for your review and sign-off.

Professional accounts preparation, ready for your sign-off

Accounts preparation is one of the most skilled and time-consuming tasks in any accounting practice. From extracting a clean trial balance and posting year-end journals, to producing fully formatted financial statements that comply with FRS 102 or FRS 105, the process demands technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail. Outsourcing accounts preparation to Founders101 gives your practice access to experienced accounts professionals who deliver work that's ready for your review — not your rework.

We prepare accounts for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies across virtually every industry sector. Our team is well-versed in the specific disclosure requirements for micro-entities under FRS 105, small companies under FRS 102 Section 1A, and full FRS 102 reporting. We work from the bookkeeping records, extract the trial balance, post all necessary year-end adjustments, and produce the final accounts in your preferred format.

We also prepare management accounts for clients who need regular financial reporting beyond their annual statutory obligations. Monthly or quarterly management accounts with profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow commentary, and KPI tracking help your clients make better business decisions — and position your practice as a proactive advisory partner.

How we prepare your accounts

1
Trial Balance Extraction & Review

We extract the trial balance from the accounting software, review it for completeness, identify any unusual or missing balances, and prepare a list of information requests for items we need to finalise the accounts.

2
Year-End Adjustments

We post all necessary year-end journals including depreciation, accruals, prepayments, deferred income, stock adjustments, and provisions. Each journal is documented with clear workings and supporting schedules.

3
Accounts Drafting

Using your accounts production software, we draft the full financial statements with all required notes, disclosures, and accounting policies. The accounts are formatted to your practice's standard template and branding.

4
Review Package Delivery

We deliver the draft accounts with a review pack containing the adjusted trial balance, journal listing, working papers, and a summary of key points and queries. Ready for your efficient review and client sign-off.
