Annual accounts and CT600 filing for UK micro-entities

annual-accounts.co.uk is a British service created by Andy Drummond, a chartered accountant (ACA) and member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) with membership number 1882910. The service presents itself as a simple and affordable alternative to hiring a traditional accountant for the annual filing of limited company accounts.

It works through a ten-question questionnaire written in plain English, which the client answers in about ten minutes. Based on those answers, the founder personally reviews each file, prepares the accounts and the corporation tax return (CT600), and files them with HMRC and Companies House. The company stresses that this is not software that simply files whatever it receives: if it detects anything unusual, it contacts the client before filing.

Pricing based on turnover

The price depends on the company's annual turnover. The site's catalogue shows two options:

• Standard filing: £49.99 per year for dormant companies or those with turnover up to £5,000; £99.99 per year up to £30,000; and £149.99 per year above £30,000.
• Managed service: £199.99 per year for dormant companies or up to £5,000; £249.99 per year up to £30,000; and £299.99 per year above £30,000.

The managed option is aimed at companies that need more than a standard filing because work is done from the accounting records and not just from the form answers. The site lists the usual reasons: the company owed the director money at the year end; it is VAT registered and VAT returns are also needed; some of the income or expenses did not go through the company bank account; or the previous year's accounts were incorrect and need correcting.

The company states that it checks every request before starting and tells the client if a higher-level service is needed and how much it would cost before any work begins. If the bookkeeping needs correcting first, that is quoted separately and agreed with the client. The site also notes that sometimes the right answer is a bookkeeper rather than this service.

Turnaround and filing guarantee

The service promises to return filings the next working day and guarantees that the file is submitted before the deadline or the fee is refunded. The subscription covers the full accounting period and the client can file whenever ready, always before their deadline.

Filing the CT600 separately

For companies that have already filed their accounts with Companies House but still have the corporation tax return outstanding, the service offers the option to handle just the CT600.

Founder profile and verification

Andy Drummond trained and qualified as a chartered accountant at PwC, and according to his profile has developed his career in audit, corporate finance, and CFO roles for growing businesses. The site explains that he created the service after noticing that many small company directors were overpaying or spending too much time filing accounts that, in most cases, are straightforward. It adds that the closure of HMRC's free joint filing service in March 2026 left thousands of companies without a clear route to file, and that the project aims to meet that need without the cost or complexity of a traditional accountant.

The company states that ICAEW membership can be verified in the institution's chartered accountant search. The site also shows customer ratings on Trustpilot, with more than 40 reviews and five stars, and includes testimonials from users who highlight the speed of the process and the clarity of the explanations.

Company details

The service operates under Drummond Advisory Ltd, company number 15208903, registered in England and Wales.
