How do I change accountants?

In three simple steps, you’ll be on your way to switching accountants. Here’s how to change your accountant:

1. Speak to a member of our team

We’ll suggest a few service features you’ll benefit from and explain the next stages.

2. Tell your accountant that you want to move

We’ll take care of any communication afterwards to bring your records on board – and we’ll also notify HMRC and Companies House.

3. We’ll introduce you to your Account Manager

They’ll provide updates on the switchover and get you up and running with us.

Support as you grow

From the Self Assessment and VAT collection to quarterly bookkeeping reviews, we can help with whatever you need, wherever you are in your business life cycle. Just tell us what you’re hoping to achieve from changing accountants, and we’ll share tips for upgrading.

Zero hidden fees

We believe it’s best to be upfront. That’s why we never include hidden charges – what you see is what you get. In this way, we hope that you can be extra confident when switching accountants to us.

Unlimited assistance

We know your earnings may grow and you’ll have diverse revenue streams. When that happens, we’ll adjust to meet your requirements. We can advise you on becoming a limited company, pursuing tax-saving plans, or fulfilling your evolving obligations.

Contact – your way

Let’s arrange a meeting, book a call, or chat on screen – whatever you prefer. Tell us how you like to communicate, and we’ll stick to a schedule so that you’re always kept in the loop when it comes to your finances.

I signed up to Bright Ideas Accounting via my Freeagent app and have been so pleased with the service they provide over the past few years. My accountants Michael and now Johnny have been supportive at short notice to guide me through any accounting issues. As a sole trader, this has been a huge benefit to my business. I can confidently recommend this business.
