Switching Accountants FAQ
When is the best time to switch accountants?
You can switch at any time, though the ideal time is just after your year-end accounts and tax returns have been filed. This gives the new accountant a clean starting point. However, if you are unhappy with your current service, do not wait. We can take over mid-year and handle any outstanding work.
Will my current accountant cooperate with the handover?
Yes. Professional accountants are required to provide handover information to your new accountant. The ACCA, ICAEW, and other bodies have rules about professional conduct during transitions. We send a professional handover letter and most transitions are completed within 2-4 weeks.
What information do you need from me?
Very little. We mainly need your authority to contact your current accountant and HMRC. We will handle requesting all the records, tax references, and historical information. You just need to provide basic details about your business and what services you require.
How long does switching accountants take?
Most handovers are completed within 2-4 weeks. This depends on how quickly your current accountant provides the records. Once we have everything, we typically complete our review and onboarding within a few days. There is no gap in your service during this time.
Will there be any gap in my compliance?
No. We coordinate the timing carefully to ensure there is no gap. If you have deadlines approaching, we prioritise those. We also check for any outstanding compliance issues from your previous accountant and address them promptly.
