We make switching accountants easy

Each month, your Xenith team reconciles your accounts online, categorizes your transactions, and produces your management accounts. They will also make any necessary adjustments to your books to ensure that they are tax-compliant.Like all partnerships in life and business, when you find the right accountant everything should feel effortless, with both parties working towards the same business vision and goals.

If you do not feel you have the right relationship with your accountant or the support you and your business need, you may feel the time is right to move on. Perhaps your business is growing or has changed direction and you need more specialist advice, or simply a greater level of support and a more positive working relationship.

Although at times it may feel that making a change would be far too much hassle, the reality is that switching your business to a new accountant is easier than you think, and can have huge benefits in the long run.

The Process

We do your bookkeeping

What to consider when switching accountants

Whatever your reasons for moving accountants, it needs to be done quickly and efficiently to allow the new firm to pick up the reigns straight away. In order to make the process seem seamless here are our top tips:

Timing is everything

Pick a time of year to move that works for all parties. Check for contract clauses that state the correct notice period for terminating to avoid any penalties.

Tie up your loose ends

Make sure any outstanding fees have been paid and always try to stay on good terms with your former accountant, as it makes for a more effortless transition.

Make a commitment

Commit to the new relationship, and be prepared to invest to make it the best success it can be!
