Switching Accountants

Step up to a brighter level of service – it couldn’t be easier

Need an accountant who works harder, explains what matters, and digitises your financial responsibilities? That’s us. Give Bright Ideas the word and we’ll lead the transition from your current service, migrating all your data over seamlessly.

Everything we do is crafted to fit the way you work. It’s why countless freelancers, contractors and SMEs move to us, leaving their old financial support behind.

SWITCH TO BRIGHT IDEAS OR ASK US YOUR QUESTIONS

How do we do it?

In three steps, you’ll be on the way to switching accountants. Here’s how it works:

  • 1

    Speak to a member of our team over the phone. We’ll listen, and suggest a few service features we think you’ll benefit from.

  • 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 put you in touch with your Account Manager. They’ll provide updates on the switchover, and get you up and running with us.

See what our clients have got to say about us…

  • After trying two other accountancy firms, which made my start in running a business MORE difficult than it needed to be, I am very pleased with the advice and support provided by BI Accountancy. I get very prompt responses to queries, with good explanations, that I have confidence in.
