Things to Know about Company Accounts


In case you're simply beginning, or have been doing business but you don't have any financial background and don't have any idea that how to file company accounts or get in touch with HMRC, at that point understanding your company accounts may appear to be fairly overwhelming.

  • The Profit and Loss Statement is different from the balance sheet because it reports the whole year performance of your limited company instead of giving a snapshot. In the Profit and Loss (P&L) Statement, you will find the total income and total costs of the business during the fiscal year.
  • The Cash Flow Statement is the movement of business cash in and out of over the whole fiscal year. Cash flow terms as the amount of money that comes in and out during a period.
