One company, one year
The finished accounts
£50 once
For one company's year: the files you need to approve, file and hand over.
No subscription and no account fee: each company's year is bought on its own. No VAT to add: Stoneledger is not registered for VAT. The Company Tax Return is not part of it - it is not built yet.

How it works
Private or public limited company, charitable company or LLP: its registered name, number and office, the year end, whether it is audited, and any subsidiaries.
This year's, before closing entries, and last year's closing one for the comparatives - not needed for first accounts. Accounts with a cash flow statement take the year before's too.
Placed from its name, its code and its sign. Check them; change any that are not right. Nothing goes on until both balance and every line is placed.
The statements and notes in the format the company qualifies for, the approval and who signs, every figure checked - then the finished files.
Who it is for
Each format is offered only where the company qualifies for it, and the reason is given where it does not - abridged accounts, for instance, need every member's consent for the year. An audit opinion or an independent examiner's report is never written by Stoneledger: it is the auditor's or examiner's own, put in word for word.
Imports, checks and what comes out
A trial balance from Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, or any spreadsheet, as CSV or Excel: an account name and its balance, as debit and credit columns or one balance column, with its code where there is one. Columns are read by what they mean, so Sage's "N/C" is read as the code.
Each trial balance balances; every line is placed; last year's closing reserves - or a charity's funds - follow into this year's. Then every statement casts, every note ties to its line, and profit and net assets agree with the trial balance. A check these books cannot make says so - it is never shown as passed.
The finished accounts as a PDF; the inline XBRL file Companies House's software filing takes; and the handover file - every line of each trial balance, where each went and what each line of the accounts is made of - for your records or your accountant.
Filing, as it stands
Keeping your books in Stoneledger?
Stoneledger, the full product, prepares the same statutory accounts straight from the ledger it keeps all year - with VAT, CIS, payroll and Corporation Tax beside them - so there is no trial balance to export at all.
Questions
Not yet. Companies House's XML team accepted Stoneledger's test filings in October 2026, and live filing waits on Companies House opening its live service to Stoneledger. Until then you get the finished accounts and the file for filing, and file them through other software or Companies House's own service. This page will say the day that changes.
No. The Company Tax Return (CT600) is a separate return to HMRC, with its own rules and its own approval, and it is not built. The accounts' tax charge is the one in your trial balance.
This year's, at the year end, before any closing entries - so the income and cost accounts still show the year's figures - and last year's closing trial balance for the comparatives. A company's first accounts need only this year's. Accounts with a statement of cash flows, and a group whose subsidiary was already held when last year began, need the year before's closing trial balance as well: last year's figures start from it.
Yes. A company that is audited - by law, because its members asked, or by choice - gets the directors' responsibilities, the strategic report where it needs one, and the auditor's report exactly as the auditor signed it. A parent company gets consolidated accounts for its group from each company's trial balance. A charitable company gets accounts under the Charities SORP, with its unrestricted, restricted and endowment funds, the trustees' annual report, and the independent examiner's or auditor's report its income calls for. What each still needs before approval is listed on screen.
Change it: every line's place is shown beside it, and the same line in last year's trial balance follows. A line the rules cannot place is left for you to choose, never guessed, and nothing goes into the accounts until every line has a place.
Preparing and checking are free. You pay once for each company's year when you want the finished files: the PDF, the inline XBRL file and the handover file. Change the figures afterwards and make them again, at no extra cost.
Yes - it is made for accountants preparing a client's accounts from the client's own software as much as for directors. The handover file shows every line of both trial balances and where each went.
The directors - a charity's trustees - or an LLP's members. Stoneledger asks for the date they were approved and who signs, and puts them on the accounts; the responsibility for the accounts stays with the company.
Until you sign in, everything stays in your own browser on your device. Signed in, it is kept on Stoneledger's server in London, behind your password and an authenticator code.
