Switching to us

Changing accountant
takes one signature.

We write to your old accountant, collect your records and check nothing is outstanding. You don’t have to have the conversation — and any time of year works.

Thirty minutes on the phone or at the office. We learn what you do, look at where things stand and quote a fixed monthly fee.

We handle the switch

We handle the switch

You sign one letter. We contact your old accountant, collect your records and set up HMRC and Companies House access.

Your year runs early

Your year runs early

Books kept monthly, returns filed weeks before the deadline, and a named accountant on the phone when you need one.

What we need from you

Less than you think.

If you can’t find something, tell us — we can usually get it from HMRC or your old accountant directly.

  • Your name and your old accountant’s details
  • Your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)
  • Your company number, if you have one
  • Login to your accounting software, or your bank statements
  • Your last tax return or set of accounts

I used to dread January. Now my return is filed in November and I know the bill in October.

Questions

Switching questions.

Not at all. We write a professional clearance letter and handle the whole handover. You don’t need to have the conversation.

Any time. Straight after a deadline is easiest, but we’ve taken clients on in January.
