Limited company, could I do my own accounts?

[littlened]

I've got a limited company which I no longer use, but need to send the final years accounts to Companies House.

Each month, I've been doing a spreadsheet which shows the money coming in, and the money going out is under certain categories, i.e. rent, vehicle maintenance etc.

The years accounts are only for 8 month, and I have a copy of last years accounts, so I'm wondering is it possible for me to create the end of year accounts myself and forward these to companies house, using last years accounts as a template?

I feel I'm confident enough to do it, but would I need an accountant to sign things. There was only me working for the company, and it only turned over about 15k in the year.

The accounts for Companies House are the abbreviated accounts. You will need a full set for your tax return.

You could follow the last set if you feel comfortable with it. You may want to get an accountant to look over thing for you.

Are you making the company dormant or striking it off?

I'm striking the company off.

I've already calculated my PAYE for the year, and just need to sit down and work out how much profit the business has made so it can pay corporate tax.

If you are striking off then you need to make sure all the assets are dealt with correctly prior to the striking off - else they become property of the crown.
