For UK accountancy practices
Your clients gave a code as a director. Companies House say they have to give it again as a PSC.
Almost every one person limited company owner is both a director and a person with significant control. Thousands believe they are finished and are not. It takes thirty seconds to check that we are telling the truth.
Straight from Companies House: “Even if you’ve provided your personal code as a director on your company’s latest confirmation statement, you’ll need to provide the code again as a PSC using the Provide identity verification details for a PSC service.”
Companies House, Understanding identity verification for people with significant control. Guidance also at GOV.UK: Provide identity verification details for a PSC. Read it yourself. We would rather you did.
One director is not a problem. Three hundred client directors, each on a different clock, with no single list showing who has acted and who has not, is a problem. That is the list we watch.
What this actually is
A monitoring and chasing service. Nothing else.
We hold a list of company numbers, check the public register, and pursue the humans who have not complied. Sold to the practice, never to your client.
What we are not. We are not an accountancy firm, a filing agent, a company secretary, or an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. We do not carry out identity checks for Companies House and we never will. We do not give legal or tax advice, we point at published GOV.UK guidance and refer anything unusual back to you. You remain the adviser throughout.
We watch the register
Weekly recheck of every unverified name on your list against the public register, using the Companies House public data. Not a one off audit. A standing watch.
We chase the human
An escalating email sequence under your practice’s own brand, approved by you before a single one is sent, plus a phone chase inside fourteen days of a deadline.
You get movement, not activity
A monthly report that says how many were outstanding on the 1st, how many now are not, and what is due next. Not how many emails we sent.
Why a client book is different from a client
Three hundred clients means three hundred separate clocks
The deadline is not one date in the diary. It moves per person, and it moves for two different reasons.
| Who the person is | When their 14 day window runs | What that means for the practice |
|---|---|---|
| Both a director and a PSC of the same company | The 14 days from the day after the company’s confirmation statement date | The date is different for every client company you act for |
| A PSC but not a director | The first 14 days of that person’s birth month | The date is different for every individual, and you may not hold their birth month to hand |
| A PSC added to the register from 18th November 2025 | 14 days from being added to the register | Every new incorporation and every share reshuffle starts a fresh clock |
There is no export that gives you this. The confirmation statement dates sit on the public register, the birth months sit somewhere else, and whether a person has actually acted has to be checked by hand rather than trusted to a data field. That is the work. It is dull, it is repetitive, and it is exactly the sort of thing a practice quietly stops doing in a busy month.
The full breakdown of which window applies to whom, with the Companies House wording alongside it.
The entry product
A free Filing Status Report on your own book, inside 48 hours
Send a list of client company numbers. That is the entire ask. Company numbers are public data, so there is no confidentiality question, no client consent to obtain and no reason to hesitate. You do not send us client names, you do not send us personal data, and you certainly do not send us a login.
What comes back is one page. Never two.
- Companies in the book, with officers and PSCs identified
- Who is showing as done, who is not, and who is unclear
- The gap. The people showing a code as a director with nothing recorded as a PSC
- Deadlines falling inside the next thirty days
- Anything already overdue
- The ten most urgent, named
Forty eight hours is not a nicety. It is the only proof of how we work that exists before you have paid us anything, so we treat it as the product.
Request the report
Seven questions. About two minutes.
The questions are here so the report comes back useful rather than generic, and so that if we do speak, we are not spending the first ten minutes on background.
Questions we get asked
Before you send anything
Are you saying our clients have not done what they were told?
We are saying that a lot of people who have done one half of it believe they have done all of it, and the Companies House wording is the reason why. That is a finding about a process, not about your advice. Most practices who read the report find a number between ten and forty per cent of their PSC population sitting in that gap.
Do you contact our clients directly?
Never without your signed written authority to do so, and never in our own name. When we do chase, it goes out under your practice’s brand, from templates you have read and approved before a single one is sent. No signed authority, no chasing, no exceptions.
What about data protection?
At first contact we take company numbers and nothing more, because that is public data. Once you engage us we are your processor under Article 28 UK GDPR and there is a written data processing agreement covering it. Ask for the paperwork on the first call. Most practices do, and we would think less of a practice that did not.
What does it cost if we go ahead?
A flat monthly fee priced on the size of your book, not per director, on a twelve month term. It starts at £199 a month for a book under a hundred companies. We will put the exact number in writing after you have seen the report, because the report is what tells us the real shape of the work.
What happens after the current deadlines pass?
The same machine points somewhere else. Confirmation statement dates, accounts deadlines, new appointments, PSC changes and dormant filings are the identical job with a different list. The name says Filing, not Verification, for exactly that reason. Same fee, no gap, no renegotiation.
