About Crownfield Limited
Crownfield Limited is a corporate services firm registered in England and Wales, working with directors and owner-managers on formation, accounting, tax, payroll and advisory support.
This page sets out who we are, how we work, and the registration details you may need for your own records.
Registration and legal identity
Crownfield Limited is a company incorporated in England and Wales. Our registration number is 16239480, and it appears in the footer of every page on this site for verification. Our registered address is 50 Victoria Avenue, Caversham, Reading, England. If you need to check our details on the public register, you can search Companies House using the number above.
Keeping the number visible matters more than it sounds. Directors get asked for it by banks, platforms, landlords and new suppliers, and it is the fastest way for anyone to confirm they are dealing with a real, incorporated business rather than a trading name.

Where to verify
Search Companies House for company number 16239480. The register lists the company's recorded details, and it is the source we point people to when they want confirmation that is independent of us.
Our office is in Caversham, Reading, and much of our client base is in the Thames Valley and London.
Filings go to Companies House and HMRC, records are shared digitally, and meetings happen by phone or video when that is more practical. Being based in Berkshire does not limit who we can work with.
What we actually do
We handle the corporate and compliance work that sits behind a UK limited company: incorporation, registered office and company secretarial support, bookkeeping, annual and management accounts, Corporation Tax planning, payroll processing, and advisory work on growth, funding, and ownership transition.
Some clients use one service. Others hand over the whole finance and compliance function. The scope is set by what the business needs, not by a fixed package. If you are not sure which parts you should keep in-house, we will talk it through before anything is agreed.
Typical work in a year
- Bookkeeping kept current month by month, not reconstructed in a rush
- Statutory annual accounts prepared and filed at Companies House
- Corporation Tax position reviewed before the deadline, not after
- Payroll run on schedule, with payslips and pension duties handled
- Confirmation statement and registered office kept up to date
- A conversation about growth, funding or succession when it is relevant
Who we work with
Our clients are typically limited companies incorporated in England and Wales, ranging from single-director consultancies to employers with staff on payroll. They tend to share one trait: the business has reached a point where informal record-keeping and last-minute filing no longer hold.
Some arrive at incorporation, with a structure still to be decided. Others come to us after outgrowing a previous arrangement — a bookkeeper who stopped responding, an accountant who only appeared once a year, or a spreadsheet that finally stopped making sense. Both starting points are normal, and neither changes how we set up the work.
The practical difference between those clients is mostly about timing. A company that has just been incorporated needs the foundations right: the right share structure, the registered office recorded properly, and a bookkeeping habit in place before the first invoices arrive. A company that has been trading for a decade usually needs something else — a proper look at what the numbers are actually saying, and a view on what to do next.
Where clients usually start
- At incorporation
- Setting up the company, the records and the first filing rhythm correctly from the beginning.
- After outgrowing a bookkeeper
- Bringing accounts up to date, then keeping them there with a monthly routine.
- Before a funding round
- Getting management accounts and cash flow visibility into a state an investor or lender can read.
- When ownership changes
- Planning the tax and reporting consequences before the transaction rather than after it.
Two principles shape how we run engagements.
Numbers useful during the year
The numbers should be useful during the year, not just compliant at the end of it. That is why management accounts and cash flow visibility sit alongside statutory reporting — so a director can see where the business stands in month eight, not only in month twelve.
Plain answers about scope
We tell clients plainly when something is not worth paying for. If a business does not need a service, we would rather say so than sell it. That applies to small decisions as much as large ones, and it usually saves an awkward conversation later.
Compliance context in the UK
UK corporate compliance has tightened in recent years, particularly around identity verification for company directors and people with significant control. Companies House now expects verified identities in the incorporation and filing process, and service providers have adapted their workflows accordingly.
We keep our processes aligned with current Companies House guidance, and we explain what a client needs to provide before a filing is submitted, not after. In practice that means a short list of documents and confirmations requested up front, a clear point at which we have everything we need, and no last-minute scramble when a deadline is close.
What we do not do
-
Legal advice
We are not a law firm, so we do not advise on contracts, disputes or litigation. Where a matter needs a solicitor, we say so and, where we can, point to the type of professional who handles it.
-
Investment advice
We are not regulated to give investment advice or to manage client funds. Decisions about investments stay with the client and their regulated adviser.
-
Holding client money
We do not hold or manage money on a client's behalf. Fees are invoiced for work done, and payments move directly between the client and the parties they owe.
Being clear about limits is more useful to a client than pretending to cover everything.
Questions we are asked
Short answers to the things directors check before they call. If your question is not here, ask it directly and we will answer it plainly.
Is Crownfield Limited registered in the UK?
Yes. Crownfield Limited is incorporated in England and Wales under company number 16239480, with its registered office at 50 Victoria Avenue, Caversham, Reading, England. You can confirm those details on the public register at Companies House using the number.
Do you only work with businesses in Reading?
No. Our office is in Caversham, Reading, and much of our client base is in the Thames Valley and London, but the work itself is largely location-independent. Filings are submitted electronically, records are shared digitally, and meetings happen by phone or video when that suits the client better.
Can I use only one service?
Yes. Some clients use one service, such as payroll or annual accounts, and keep the rest in-house. Others hand over the whole finance and compliance function. The scope is set by what the business needs rather than by a fixed package, and it can change as the company grows.
What should I have ready before we speak?
Nothing formal. It helps to know your company number if the company already exists, roughly how many people are on payroll, and which parts of the finance work you would like to hand over. If you have recent accounts or a bookkeeping file, mention it — but an initial conversation does not depend on having documents in order.
How do I check your registration myself?
Search Companies House for company number 16239480. The register shows the company's recorded details, including its name, number and registered office. That is the independent source we would point you to, and it is worth checking for any firm you are considering working with.
Talk to us before you decide anything.
