The Accounts is an independent project providing financial data and business insights on active UK companies, drawing on public filings from Companies House. Its platform helps users explore company activity, performance and ownership through searchable records, industry leaderboards and analytical tools. Visitors can look up a company’s filed accounts, compare turnover and profitability, track changes in staff numbers, and identify overdue accounts or significant filing activity.

The site also offers a screener for finding fast-growing companies, reports on industries and places, and information about charities and company registration. Its private equity coverage groups companies under common ownership to help users understand portfolio scale. For users who want regular updates, The Accounts publishes The Daily Brief, a free weekday email highlighting selected overnight filings and explaining notable changes in areas such as leverage, margins and going-concern indicators.

The project describes itself as independent and unaffiliated with Companies House or any UK government body
