How to do things in A4O Accounts.
Short, step-by-step pages for the jobs people do most. For background on the filing rules themselves, see the guides.
Setting up your HMRC details for Corporation Tax
What A4O Accounts needs from you to file a CT600 with HMRC: your company’s UTR, and your Government Gateway user ID and password when you file.
Finding and entering your Companies House authentication code
Where your company authentication code comes from, how to get a new one, and where to enter it in A4O Accounts so your accounts can be filed.
Importing a bank statement
Upload a bank statement as CSV, Excel, OFX or QFX, review the suggested account for each line, and post it to your books.
Preparing and filing a CT600
Create a Company Tax Return in A4O Accounts, check the accounts, computation and every CT600 box, preview the iXBRL, and submit to HMRC.
Filing annual accounts with Companies House
File micro-entity, small, abridged, audited or dormant accounts with Companies House from A4O Accounts, in iXBRL.
Filing a confirmation statement (CS01)
File your company’s annual confirmation statement with Companies House from A4O Accounts, with or without changes.
Recording a payment against an invoice
Record a customer’s payment, or a payment to a supplier, from the invoice itself: check the From and To boxes, the amount and the date, and click Record payment.
