Thinking of switching accountants?

​

Many of our clients came to us after feeling:

• they were chasing their accountant for replies
• they didn’t fully understand their numbers
• they weren’t getting proactive advice
• everything felt reactive rather than planned

• Deadlines were missed, fines issued or errors

​

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and it’s often a sign it’s time for a change.

​

Will it cost me to switch accountants?

In most cases, no — there should not be any fee simply to change accountants.

If you’ve paid your current accountant in advance, you may be entitled to a refund for any work not yet completed.

We’re happy to guide you through this if needed.

​

What if I’ve already paid my accountant?

You can switch at any time.

Your previous accountant will provide a handover, and any fees will usually be adjusted based on the work completed to date.

​

How do I tell my current accountant?

You don’t need to worry about this.

​

Once you decide to move, we will:

• contact your existing accountant
• request all relevant information
• manage the transition professionally

​

You won’t need to handle any difficult conversations - we take care of it for you.
