Executive summary
1st 4 Accounts Limited is a long-established bookkeeping practice with consistent profitability and a strengthening equity position, having grown net assets from £8,894 (2022) to £20,601 (2025). However, the business has seen significant balance sheet contraction, with total assets declining 49% since 2020, and approximately 92% of annual profits are being extracted as dividends, limiting reinvestment capacity. A conditional credit opinion reflects adequate but not strong liquidity (current ratio 1.45x), minimal tangible security, and material key-person risk given the single director structure.
