Accounting services · Switching accountant
Switching accountant? We make the move easy.
If your accountant takes weeks to reply, OpenAccountants is the switch: bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, tax returns and year-end accounts. AI does the routine work and an accountant is responsible. We handle the handover from your current accountant, and you get a written quote before anything starts.

Questions people ask us
How does switching accountant work?
You tell your current accountant you are moving. We request your records and filing history from them and pick up from there. Most of the handover is ours to do.
Will I miss a deadline during the switch?
We list every upcoming deadline in the first week and cover anything that falls due during the handover.
Is it safe to have AI do my accounts?
AI prepares the work; an accountant reviews it and is responsible. Nothing is filed without a person checking it.
What does it cost?
We quote in writing after the first call, once we know what the work involves. The call is free and there is no obligation.
Guides we work from
Free to read, with their sources and who checked them. Add them to your AI and it answers from them too.
