Switch Accountants — UK-Wide

Time to change accountants. We make it easy.

Most business owners stay with the wrong accountant far too long — not because they are happy, but because switching feels complicated. It rarely is. We handle the handover, pick up where your previous firm left off, and keep your filings on track. Fixed fees, qualified accountants, and a same-day response when you have questions.

  • Full handover managed — no gaps in your compliance record
  • Catch-up bookkeeping available if your books need tidying first
  • Fixed fees published upfront — no surprises when the invoice arrives
  • Your numbers explained in plain terms, not just filed and forgotten

No long-term contract required. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing outstanding.

Sound familiar?

Still waiting on that reply from your accountant?

Most people who switch do not do it because something catastrophic happened. They do it because months passed and nothing was explained. Emails took days to get answers. The fee crept up and no one said why. The books got filed, but nobody mentioned there was a better way to structure things. That is, frankly, not what an accountant is for.

  • Emails sitting unanswered for days — or longer — every time you have a question
  • Paying a fee you cannot justify because no one has explained what is included
  • Books filed every year but no sense of what your actual tax position is

What a proper switch looks like

We manage the handover from your previous firm, bring your records up to date, and take responsibility for your compliance from the point you come on board. You do not have to chase anyone for a response, and you will not be surprised by the bill.

  • Questions answered the same day, by someone who already knows your file
  • Fixed, transparent fees — agreed before any work begins, not after
  • Your numbers explained in plain terms every time, not filed and left in silence
  • Switch at any point in the year — we handle the timing and the handover

Working with Wings Online Filings Ltd has been an absolute pleasure. They are highly communicative, supportive, and provide a responsive, cost-effective service that perfectly suits my small architecture practice. I switched from another accountant about a year ago and haven’t looked back since. Their expertise, efficiency, and positive ‘can-do’ attitude make them stand out, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a new accountant.

What you get

Everything the switch covers

From the first conversation to the first filed return, the process is managed for you. Here is what that looks like in practice.

01

Handover and Onboarding

We contact your previous accountant on your behalf to collect your records, outstanding work, and any relevant correspondence. The handover is handled professionally and without drama — most clients are fully onboarded within a couple of weeks. You will know exactly where things stand before any filing deadlines come near.

We handle the admin
02

Catch-Up and Clean-Up

If your books are behind or your previous accountant left things in an incomplete state, we sort it. Catch-up bookkeeping is quoted based on how much work is involved — the price is agreed upfront before anything starts. There is no obligation to continue if the catch-up quote does not suit you.

03

Ongoing Compliance, Taken Care Of

Once onboarded, you get the full service: year-end accounts, corporation tax or self assessment, VAT, payroll, and bookkeeping — all handled remotely using Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, or Sage. Company Accounts and Tax Return from £250. Self Assessment from £150. Ongoing services quoted on your requirements.

From £150 one-off / quoted ongoing

Why clients switch to us

What makes the difference

There are plenty of accountants. Here is what is different about working with Wings.

💬

Responses that actually arrive

The most common reason people switch accountant is not cost — it is silence. Questions get answered the day they are asked. You will not be waiting three days to find out whether your VAT return has been filed. That is not a special feature; it is just how it should work.

🔢

Prices stated before you agree

Wings Online Filings is the best priced online accountancy practice in the UK — and stands behind it with a price match promise: show us a quote from a business with a lower price and we will match it. Company Accounts and Tax Return is £250. Self Assessment is £150. Ongoing services are quoted before any work begins, not after it is done.

📋

Numbers explained, not just filed

Filing is the minimum. After every set of accounts, you will know what your tax position is, what is coming up, and whether anything can be structured more efficiently. That is the part most accountants skip. It is the part that makes the most practical difference to running a business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

The process is designed to be low-effort on your side. Most clients are fully switched and onboarded within two weeks of first contact.

1

Tell us about your situation

Fill in the quote form or book a call — whichever suits you. We will ask about your business type, what your current accountant handles, and when your next filing deadline is. No jargon, no lengthy questionnaires.

2

We contact your previous accountant

Once you confirm you want to proceed, we request your professional clearance and records directly from your outgoing firm. You do not have to chase anyone or explain the same thing twice. We manage the correspondence.

3

Books reviewed and brought up to date

We review what has been handed over, flag anything that needs attention, and give you a clear picture of where things stand. If catch-up work is needed, we quote it before touching anything. No surprises.

4

Back to running your business

From this point, deadlines are tracked, filings are handled, and your books are current. You will hear from us before anything significant is due — not after. Which is, frankly, how it should have been working all along.

Questions

Things people ask before switching

Can I switch accountants mid-year, or do I have to wait until my year-end?+

You can switch at any point in the year. There is no requirement to wait until your financial year-end, and switching mid-year rarely causes any practical complications. We will review the timing with you during the onboarding conversation and flag if anything needs handling in a particular order.

What does switching actually cost, and what is included?+

There is no charge for the handover or onboarding itself. Your ongoing fees depend on the services you need: year-end company accounts and corporation tax return is £250 as a fixed annual fee; self assessment is £150. Bookkeeping, VAT, and payroll are quoted based on your specific requirements, with the price agreed before any work starts. The price match promise applies — show us a lower quote and we will match it.

My books are behind and in a bit of a state — is that a problem?+

It is not unusual. We see this regularly and it is entirely manageable. Before starting any catch-up work we will give you a fixed quote based on the volume involved, so you know the cost before committing. Some clients arrive with a year or more of bookkeeping outstanding; others have minor gaps. Either way, the scope and price are agreed upfront.

Is there a long-term contract or minimum commitment?+

There is no lock-in contract. If you are on a recurring service and it is not working, you give notice and we complete any outstanding work cleanly before handing your records over. For one-off filings there is nothing ongoing to cancel. The intention is to be the accountant you stay with because the service is good, not because leaving is complicated.

What if my previous accountant is slow to respond or uncooperative with the handover?+

It does happen occasionally. There are professional obligations on outgoing accountants under ICAEW and ACCA guidelines to respond to clearance requests within a reasonable timeframe. We are experienced in managing slow handovers and will advise you on what to expect and what your options are if there is a delay. In most cases it is resolved without issue.

Will you be able to spot anything my previous accountant may have missed?+

We review the prior year accounts and tax returns as part of onboarding — not to criticise the previous firm, but to make sure we have an accurate picture and that nothing has been overlooked. If we notice something that could be handled differently or more efficiently going forward, we will flag it plainly and explain the options.
