Your confirmation statement is not a form. It is a public statement that your company record is correct.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Confirmation statement and company secretarial filings kept current for established limited companies
Confirmation statement and company secretarial work is the part of running a limited company that nobody thinks about until a filing is late or a record is wrong.
Companies House does not chase you. It records what you filed, and what you did not. Here is what is due each year, what has to be reported within days of changing, and what an overdue filing does to your company.
Nexus Tax and Accounting Solutions is a Milton Keynes accountancy practice run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB. It files confirmation statements and handles company secretarial changes for established limited companies in Milton Keynes and UK-wide, inside one monthly fee that also covers accounts, corporation tax, VAT, bookkeeping and payroll.

What Nexus handles at Companies House
Your confirmation statement filed before the deadline
Nasir tracks your review date and files the statement on time, as part of the monthly fee.
Changes reported inside the window you are given
A new director, a new registered office or a new shareholder gets filed when it happens.
A public record that matches how you actually trade
PSC details, share capital and SIC codes say the same thing as your accounts and your bank.
Three ways a company record goes wrong without anyone noticing
Each of these started as a small change nobody reported.
- Filing
“I found out we were overdue when a supplier ran a credit check and asked why our filings were late.”
The overdue marker sits on the public record until it is fixed. Credit checks and tender questionnaires both read it.
- Shares
“We brought a second shareholder in during March and nobody told Companies House until the statement came round in November.”
For eight months the public record showed the wrong owners. The dividend paid in July then had to be explained.
- Switch
“Our old firm filed the statement every year and never once asked whether anything in it had actually changed.”
The SIC code was still the one picked at formation. Lenders and insurers read that record before they read your accounts.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
Your register gets checked properly once, at the set-up review, against how the company really runs. After that the annual statement is a confirmation rather than a scramble. Changes get filed inside the window Companies House allows, because Nasir hears about them before the deadline does.
Quick check · no email
If your accountant can’t tell you when your confirmation statement is due, what changed on your register this year, and get back to you this week, you have the wrong accountant.
Three questions about the firm you use now.
Question 1 of 3
Could they tell you this week which date your confirmation statement is due?
Could they list what changed at Companies House this year without opening the file?
Could they reply to a question about a share transfer within a few days?
That gap is real, and it sits on a public record anyone can read. The set-up review is where it gets checked and corrected.
You are in a reasonable position, with one area nobody has looked at. That is usually the register itself, which is what the set-up review covers first.
You are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want to sanity check the routine yourself.
Filing the statement versus keeping the record right
Both get the form in. Only one keeps the public record true.
A filing-only service
Files the confirmation statement on the same details as last year.
Hears about a new director months after the appointment.
Leaves SIC codes and share capital as they were at formation.
Speaks to you when the form is due, and not otherwise.
Nexus
Checks the register against how the company actually trades.
Files director, address and PSC changes when they happen.
Keeps shares and SIC codes in line with the accounts.
Nasir replies himself, in the same week you ask.
Eight things to check on your own Companies House record
Answer these about your company as it stands today.
- 01
Do you know your confirmation statement review date?
It runs from incorporation or from the last statement filed.
- 02
Is the registered office an address you still use?
Post from Companies House and HMRC goes there first.
- 03
Are all current directors listed, and no former ones?
Appointments and resignations are filed separately from the statement.
- 04
Do the PSC details match who really controls the company?
Shares, voting rights and influence all count here.
- 05
Does the share capital match the shares actually issued?
Allotments and transfers change what the statement should say.
- 06
Do the SIC codes describe what you sell now?
Many are still the code chosen on the day of formation.
- 07
Is there a registered email address on file?
Companies House expects one it can reach you at.
- 08
Is anything on the record marked overdue?
An overdue marker is visible to anyone who looks.
The company secretarial work that sits alongside the statement
Three jobs that keep the record and the accounts saying the same thing.
Confirmation statement
Checked against the register, then filed within the window Companies House gives you.
Officers, address and PSC
Appointments, resignations, moves and control changes filed as they happen.
Allotments and transfers
New shareholders recorded properly, so dividends and the register agree.
Entry 01
Who does the filing and what that is worth
One accountant, named, with a qualification you can check.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
How the register gets checked and then kept current
Four points in the first ninety days.
You see what your public record actually says
Nasir reads the register: officers, PSC, shares, SIC codes and registered office.
Anything wrong on the record is corrected
Missed changes are filed and the review date goes in the calendar.
Books and filings run to the same routine
Bookkeeping, payroll and Companies House work off one set of current numbers.
Changes reach Companies House before the deadline
A check-in every few months picks up new shareholders, moves and appointments early.
When Nexus is not the right firm for you
Start-ups in year one or two are usually better served elsewhere.
Sole traders under £150,000 turnover are not the right fit.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses are declined.
If the decision is price alone, another firm will be cheaper.
If you are an established limited company, the set-up review will tell you plainly what to change and what to leave.
Questions directors ask about Companies House filings
What does the monthly fee include for a limited company?
One monthly fee covers year-end accounts, corporation tax, the confirmation statement, VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and the director’s self assessment. Proactive advice is included on a fair-use basis: VAT scheme selection, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month before the bill lands. The fee is scoped after Nasir has reviewed your set-up.
Can you do our confirmation statement and company secretarial work only?
It is possible, but it is not how Nexus usually works. The register is only reliable when the person filing it also sees the shares, the payroll and the accounts. Most clients take the full monthly service, because that is where the confirmation statement, the tax forecast and the advice stop being separate jobs.
Do we have to change our bookkeeping software to move to Nexus?
Not usually. Nasir looks at what you already use during the set-up review and tells you whether it is right for your business or what should change. If it works and the numbers reconcile, it stays. Software is only moved when there is a clear reason, and the move is planned rather than rushed.
What happens with our current accountant if we switch?
Nexus handles the handover. Professional clearance is requested, records are collected and the first-year timetable is set out, including your confirmation statement date. You do not chase your old firm yourself. There is no separate charge for the handover, and the set-up review happens as part of joining.
What happens if you miss a confirmation statement deadline?
The record shows the filing as overdue, which anyone running a credit or supplier check can see. Companies House can begin action to strike the company off the register, and failing to file is an offence for the directors. The fix is to file the outstanding statement and bring the register up to date.
What company secretarial changes have to be reported to Companies House?
Director and secretary appointments and resignations, a change of registered office, changes to people with significant control, share allotments and transfers, a change of name and a change of accounting reference date. Most carry their own deadline and cannot wait for the annual statement. The confirmation statement then confirms the record is correct.
