Switching Accountants?

Absolutely! Like any service, you are free to switch accountants as you see fit. It's easy, simple and no more hassle than switching utility companies.

If your existing accountant is not meeting your needs, is not focused on your job, has not recently spoken to you about your business plans or is not providing value then you should change to an accountant that is meeting your business needs. There is no honour in honouring a historical relationship with no current value!

It is remarkably easy to do. As your newly appointed accountant we do everything for you, no awkward discussions with your prior accountant, we take charge of the whole process for you.

We do not charge for taking you on as a client nor do we charge for conducting the "handover process" with your existing accountant. Most accountants do not charge for providing handover files to a newly appointed accountant.

The best time to switch accountants is as soon as your existing one becomes obsolete in your business plans! You do not even have to wait to the end of your financial year, handovers can be done at any point in time that suits you.

Your accountant should provide a statement of account and refund you pro-rata for any unused part of the fees (subject to any legal clauses in place).

This will not stop you leaving. Any debt to an existing accountant can be settled by mutual agreement with them, in no way should it hinder you switching accountants as that would constitute unfair contractual terms (something that the law will support you on).
