How soon after year-end do you do file company accounts?

Curious to know how far into the 9-month period you file the company accounts?

I don't have a rule but I try and get it done within 4-6 months of y/e just to avoid rushing at the last minute.

Any advantage in timing it?

the sooner you pay the more time you have of interest payments from HMRC offsetting against your next bill.

This is my first yr doing it - did them as soon as possible.

We try to file as soon as possible after y/e. Our target is 6 weeks. But that's based on our commitment to letting our clients know their liabilities asap. Even although there's provisional figures throughout the year, it does appear that a firm known liability figure is welcome.

Whenever my accountant has finished doing them!

That's not very helpful is it

In theory as soon as possible as everything is fresh in your mind. In reality I've probably done most of them around the 6 month mark.

8 and a half months this year

But I've never paid early. I don't want the interest payments; it's just one more complication for next years accounts.

Well its the truth! My accountant gets them done as soon as they can, depending on how busy they are. They are always delivered to me within a few months at most and they submit them as soon as I've checked them and approved them. I'm not sure it matters either way so long as they are on time.
