how do you know if you should switch?

Choosing the right accountant is vital for the health of your business. If you feel uneasy or dissatisfied with your current accountant, it's worth investigating further. Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Here are some key indicators that it might be time to find a new accountant:

high fees

Compare what you're paying with the rates of other local firms. If you find you're being overcharged for the level of service you're receiving, it might be time to look elsewhere.

confusing communication

Your accountant should be able to explain financial matters in a clear, straightforward manner without resorting to jargon. If you find their explanations baffling or unclear, this could be a sign of poor communication skills.

unavailability

An accountant who is frequently unreachable can cause delays and stress. Timely advice and prompt responses are crucial for managing your business finances effectively.

outdated practices

Accountants should stay current with industry trends and requirements, such as Making Tax Digital. If your accountant is not up-to-date, your business could suffer as a result.

lack of understanding

Your accountant should take the time to understand your business's specific needs and goals. A lack of understanding can lead to misaligned strategies and missed opportunities for growth.

frequent mistakes

Regular errors in your accounts can indicate incompetence or a lack of attention to detail. You should not have to correct their mistakes frequently, as this can lead to serious issues with your financial management.

By evaluating your current accountant against these criteria, you can determine whether it's time to make a change. If you identify with any of these issues, consider reaching out to Even Solutions Accountancy for a seamless and stress-free transition to a more supportive and effective accounting service.

is there a good time to switch accountants?

Timing your switch to a new accountant is crucial to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business. While the process is straightforward, it's important to choose the right moment. Avoid switching accountants during high-pressure times, such as when tax returns are due. These periods are typically very busy and can complicate the transition. Instead, aim to switch accountants at the end of your accounting period. This is usually a quieter time, making it easier to handle the handover of responsibilities and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

At Even Solutions Accountancy, we’re here to make the transition as seamless as possible, ensuring you receive uninterrupted service and support for your business.

Communication is key. Be honest with your current accountant; they will appreciate the feedback for improving their services. Once you confirm the switch, we can handle the transition by sending a professional clearance request for the necessary information, ensuring a smooth handover.
