Everything that comes with a switch.
Switching often feels like a hassle. With us it's a set process with a dedicated team.
- Contact and coordination with your current accountant
- Requesting history and previous annual reports
- Checking the opening balance and outstanding items
- Taking over ongoing VAT (btw) returns

When
You can switch at any time.
From 1 January
The most straightforward moment. Your previous accountant closes the old year, we start with the new one.
Halfway through the year
That works fine too. We pick up from the last VAT return and take over the bookkeeping from that point.
With a backlog
Is your bookkeeping behind? We first map out what's needed and make a fixed proposal to catch up.
