You do not need your old accountant's permission to leave. We handle every step so there is no gap and no missed filings.
Changing accountant takes about a week. We send the professional clearance letter, collect your records, register as your HMRC and Companies House agent and take over your deadlines. On any monthly package, switching is free.
Everything below is done for you, in plain English, before anything is filed.
How the work is done, what we check and why it matters for your company.
Changing accountant is simpler than most directors expect. You tell us, and we send the professional clearance letter to your current accountant, ask for your records and prepare to take over. You do not have to have the awkward conversation yourself.
You can stay with your old accountant until the new one is ready, so there is no gap in cover.
We register as your agent with HMRC for Corporation Tax, VAT and PAYE using the correct authorisation routes. At Companies House we need your company authentication code to file on your behalf.
We guide you through each, so you only enter details once.
Before we change anything, we review your last accounts, your filing history, your tax position and your deadlines. If there are errors or gaps, we tell you what they are and what they cost to correct.
You get a clear picture of where the company stands, not a surprise six months later.
Switching is free on any of our monthly packages. A straightforward transfer normally takes one to two weeks, depending on how quickly the previous accountant responds.
Your fixed monthly fee starts when we take over.
