Question submission date: March 2020
Full Question: I am struggling to reach my current accountant. I either speak to several people and have to repeat myself, or get told I have to pay extra for any work requests about Covid-19! I am fed up and would like to switch accountants, can this still be done during Covid-19?
I am sorry to hear about your current experiences with your accountant! We are hearing this way too often now that you don’t deal with an accountant but more a ‘team’ of people or an ‘account support’, which can be very frustrating dependent on their skill level and turn around time in responding to you.
In short, ABSOLUTELY! I can not speak for every accountancy firm, but with Integro Accounting we have all the facilities in place in order to switch clients over from their previous accountant during Covid-19. We keep our staff safe by having a postal rota, meaning any documents sent in order to switch you over will be received asap.
Simply complete our online form here Join Integro and then notify your previous accountant that you are leaving. We will handle the rest. You will not be required to do anything unless advised by your newly appointed accountant. Yes a fully qualified specialist accountant – either AAT or ACCA qualified – one person, one number and one email. We can even do Skype, Mircosoft Teams or Zoom calls if you would like to meet them ‘face to face’.
If your accountant is closed during Covid-19, we can still begin your accounts. You will incur no extra charges until we have everything from your previous accountants, ensuring you don’t get hit with two invoices at the same time.
We do not believe in charging for any catch up fees and will aim to get all accounts transferred into our award winning software FreeAgent withing 48 hours. I could talk about what we can offer all day, but it is worth visiting our switcher page if you have any more questions: Switching Contractor Accountant.
