Dear Forum Members,
We received a letter from Companies House UK advising that "From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software", i.e. software filing.
It surprised us to see that QuickBooks Online is not (yet?) listed as suitable accountancy package for software filing:

I believe that all users of QBO deserve a statement from QBO with regards to:
- whether QBO will become accredited by Companies House for software filing
- what the time time / dates are for this accreditation, i.e. will it be in time for the deadline set by Companies House
Has anybody heard anything on this from QuickBooks?
Many thanks for your help.
QuickBooks Online (QBO) has not yet been recognized as the software provider for filling directly to Companies House, Pairfum.
As of now, there is no specific timeline or estimated date for QBO for the accreditation. However, QuickBooks is committed to providing our customers with seamless accounting solutions, and we are exploring alternative ways to support your account filing needs once the service ends. I suggest consulting with an accountant that can assist you in ensuring that your filings remain compliant or using another third-party app who can manage to file on your behalf.

Dear @NerbynMaeI
Many thanks for your reply and update.
It is very disappointing and surprising to hear that there is no timeline on when QBO will be accredited as a software provider for filing annual accounts directly to Companies House.
It does surprise us to see that Xero, Sage and many other have already been accredited by comparison.
We hope that Intuit continues to be committed to QBO in the UK and that a solution will be in place soon.
With kind regards,
Pairfum London
I think the reply should be you either will, and therefore set aside the necessary resources to do so, or you won't and we can decide whether to move our accounts to another provider. In the end, the answer needs to be black or white and not leave your customers hanging.
Thank you for listening.
I agree - there needs to be transparency over whether we should remain with QB or make arrangements now to move to different accounting software. Very poor customer service here QB - make an announcement.
