When is it worth switching?
- Communication is slow or you don’t get answers.
- Invoices surprise you and you don’t know what you’re paying for.
- There have been mistakes in the bookkeeping or VAT.
- You can’t see your finances in real time.
- You can’t get service in your own language.
Is switching difficult?
No. You can switch accounting firms at any time, including mid-financial-year, and your bookkeeping continues without interruption. You and the new firm handle the transfer together — in practice the new firm does most of the work.
The switch, step by step
- Choose a new accounting firm and ask for a quote.
- Check the notice period in your current contract.
- Terminate the current contract — we help with this.
- Transfer the accounting material: vouchers, bookkeeping, financial statements and balances.
- The new firm takes over the bookkeeping and continues from where you left off.
You can switch any time, but the smoothest moment is often at the turn of a financial year or after the financial statements. Make sure all material and opening balances are transferred.
What about your accounting records?
Your accounting material belongs to you. The previous firm hands it over to you or directly to the new firm. We collect the material and opening balances for you, so nothing is lost and the bookkeeping continues seamlessly.
