Switching your accountant
Start the switch
Changing accountants should be simple. At PKF Smith Cooper, a straightforward switch is guaranteed.
Whether you are looking for a more proactive accountant or an advisor that goes beyond compliance to support your business goals, we have the insight, expertise and international reach to meet your needs.
Our three step switching process is designed to be hands-off and stress-free, showing how easy it is to move your accounting to PKF Smith Cooper.
1. Start the conversation
Speak with a member of our expert team about your business needs and long-term goals. We will explore how we can support you and recommend the services that best fit your requirements.
2. Contact your current accountant
Once you have informed your current accountant that you are switching, you can leave the rest to us. We will request professional clearance and gather everything we need to set you up as a PKF Smith Cooper client.
3. Make the switch official
You will receive an engagement letter from us and we will notify HMRC and Companies House of the change. With the handover now complete, our Business Services team will get to work on your accounts.
