​
Frequently asked questions regarding how businesses can switch Accountants / Bookkeepers
​
CAN I SWITCH ACCOUNTANT / BOOKKEEPER
​
The answer to this is yes, whatever the reason you are entitled to change your accountant/bookkeeper. To do this all you have to do is contact us, sign up and then leave the rest to us. We can request all your financial information from your existing accountant/bookkeeper.
​
WHAT DOCUMENTS WILL I NEED TO COMPLETE TO SWITCH
​
To switch to The Chalfont Bookkeeping Service Limited we will require the completion of a couple of documents.
​
HOW LONG WILL THE SWITCHING PROCESS TAKE
​
Once you have completed the documents and signed up with us we will send the request to your previous Accountant/Bookkeeper, but it then depends on how quickly they provide the information to us. Once all the information has been received we will work as quickly as possible to input the data into our system.
​
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SWITCH ACCOUNTANT / BOOKKEEPER
​
The best time would be the end of your financial year or at the end of a VAT tax return period, but this may not always be practical. So if you change at any other period of your financial year we may need to recreate what your Accountant/Bookkeeper has already done.
​
WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY FEES TO MY PREVIOUS ACCOUNTANT / BOOKKEEPER
​
This will depend on your previous payment plan and when you decide to change, so check with your previous Accountant/Bookkeeper to clarify before making any decisions. If you have an outstanding payment with your previous Accountant/Bookkeeper it is unlikely that they will respond to our request to provide the necessary information until the outstanding payment has been settled.
