Precision Financial Reporting prepares statutory financial statements for finance teams that need accurate, well-presented year-end accounts delivered on time. Every set of accounts is prepared by an experienced FCCA, from your trial balance through to financial statements that are ready for approval and stand up to scrutiny, whether they are meeting your obligations to auditors, lenders, investors, Companies House or meeting your tax obligations to HMRC. That leaves your team free to focus on the business during the busiest point of the reporting period.
We bring almost 30 years of audit and financial reporting experience across owner-managed businesses, groups and multinational organisations. That means we understand what your auditors will look for and prepare the accounts accordingly. You deal with one experienced point of contact throughout, rather than a rotating team, and our fees are typically more cost-effective than those of larger firms.
The process is designed to fit around your existing systems. You send us a year-end trial balance exported to Excel from your own accounting software, along with the supporting information we agree at the outset. We map your general ledger codes to the appropriate account groupings, and prepare the full financial statements in our own specialist accounts production software. Draft accounts come back to you for review, with any queries raised early rather than at the deadline.
We provide relevant supporting documents including a mapped trial balance from the software, schedules of adjustments, cash flow statement workings (where relevant) and a reconciliation from your the profit from your draft trial balance to the reported profit from the final profit and loss account.
Our software is on Companies House’s list of approved filing software, so your accounts can already be filed electronically, ahead of software-only filing becoming mandatory.
We prepare financial statements under FRS 102 (including Section 1A for small entities), FRS 101 and IFRS, as well as members’ accounts for LLPs under the LLP SORP. This covers:
- the core statements (balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement)
- full notes and accounting policies
- consolidated financial statements for groups, including consolidation workings, acquisition accounting and currency translation of overseas subsidiaries
- strategic reports, directors’ reports and other front -end reporting
