You don\u2019t have to \u2013 changing accountants is easy and can be done in just a few steps.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.      Register with a new firm \u2013 this usually involves signing an engagement letter and forwarding copies of your identification such as a passport\/driving licence and a proof of address (for instance a utility bill).

2. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Write to your current accountants to let them know of the switch. An e-mail will suffice. You don\u2019t have to give them a reason, but doing so might help them improve.

You should also agree on a deadline for the outstanding work to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.      Your new accountant will advise you how to authorise them as your agent \u2013 this involves either sending a form 64-8 or performing an action in your online government account. Both methods are quick and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
