Companies House deadlines

Companies House deadline tracker for UK accountants

Companies House deadlines are easy to check one company at a time, but hard to manage across a practice when every client has a different accounts date, confirmation statement date and follow-up history. A spreadsheet can show a date, but it rarely shows the full workflow: who checked the company, whether the client has been contacted, what changed since the last review and whether the team has created a task.

PracticeComply adds a Companies House deadline tracker to the client profile. When a practice syncs a company number, the application can store basic public company data, accounts next due, confirmation statement next due, officers, PSCs and the last synced timestamp. The goal is to make public Companies House information actionable inside the practice workflow, not to replace Companies House filing or official records.

A common accounting problem is a limited company client whose accounts deadline is approaching, but the responsibility for chasing records is unclear. One staff member checked Companies House, another emailed the client and a third person updated a spreadsheet. If the company status changes or officers/PSC information changes, the practice may not notice until much later.

PracticeComply helps by creating alerts when accounts or confirmation statement dates are overdue or due soon, when company status is not active, or when officers/PSC data changes since the last sync. Those alerts can appear in the Action Center, Client lifecycle and Companies House section on the client detail page. The user can mark an alert reviewed, create a task or ignore it where appropriate.

PracticeComply is not HMRC filing software and does not file with Companies House. It does not submit accounts, confirmation statements or company filings. It helps accountants and bookkeepers organise public company data, internal tasks and client follow-up.
