Trusted Accountants for Limited Companies

At Peter Hodgson & Co., we recognise the challenges limited companies face in staying compliant while remaining tax-efficient. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive accountancy service specifically designed for limited companies — providing proactive advice, accurate reporting, and ongoing support throughout the financial year.

Limited companies carry important legal and financial responsibilities, and errors can lead to costly penalties. Our partner-led team ensures you always meet your obligations on time, with clear guidance and strategic advice that helps you manage your finances efficiently and confidently.

As an ICAEW-registered firm, we adhere to the highest professional standards set by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, giving you complete peace of mind that your business is in safe hands.

Accounting Software At Peter Hodgson & Co.

We believe that great advice starts with great technology. That’s why we use only the best accounting software to support our clients — and we’re proud to be QuickBooks partners. QuickBooks is one of the most powerful and user-friendly platforms available for SMEs, giving business owners real-time access to their financial data and the insights they need to make informed decisions. Our clients love how simple it is to manage their records through QuickBooks, especially when paired with the Dext mobile app, which makes capturing receipts and expenses effortless. To help you get the most from your software, we’ll assign a QuickBooks-certified accountant from our team who will work with you throughout the year, ensuring your system is set up correctly, running smoothly, and delivering the insights that drive growth.

How can I get started?

To get started, simply fill out our contact form or give us a call. Our team will guide you through the process.

What types of businesses require a statutory audit?

In the UK, an audit is mandatory for companies that exceed certain size thresholds or are part of a larger group. However, many SMEs choose a voluntary audit to gain valuable insights into financial performance, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and improve internal controls.

What are the main benefits of having an audit?

An audit provides independent assurance that your financial statements are accurate and compliant. It can also highlight inefficiencies, strengthen governance, and help attract investors or secure financing by demonstrating transparency and sound financial management.

How can you help reduce my company’s tax bill?

Our tax specialists identify legitimate reliefs, allowances, and planning opportunities to help you optimise your tax position while staying fully compliant. We provide year-round support, not just at filing time, so you can plan ahead and make tax-efficient business decisions.

How to switch accountants in one easy step?

We appreciate that changing accountants can be time consuming but that’s not the case when you move to Peter Hodgson & Co.
Simply drop an email or note to your existing accountant informing them that you’re moving to us, copy us on the email and we’ll do the rest. It’s as easy as that.
