Changing accountants is simple

How easy is it to change accountants?

Contrary to what your current accountant may lead you to believe, it is relatively easy to change accountants.

If you choose to change to us we will complete the process for you with minimal fuss or disruption to your business.

How much does it cost to change accountants?

Before you change accountants you will have to pay your previous accountant for any work that they have completed.

Providing that you have no outstanding bills, there should be no additional fee to change accountants, although some accountants may charge a minimal fee to complete the handover process.

Change accountants in 3 easy steps

1. Contact us to arrange your free, no-obligation consultation. Our Free Consultation typically lasts 30-45 minutes, during which we will discuss your business and the level of support that you are looking for from your accountant.
2. Inform your current accountant that you are leaving (or instruct us to do so for you). Before you can change to your new accountant you will have to inform your current accountant that you are leaving. We understand that some people may find this difficult, so (if you instruct us to do so) we will deal with all of the formalities on your behalf. We will contact your current accountant for professional clearance and to request any relevant information.
3. Sign a letter of engagement. The final step is to sign a letter of engagement with your new accountant, who will then be able to request authorisation from HMRC to act on your behalf.
