Switching Accountants — How to Change Your Accountant
Signs it's time to change accountant — and how RR makes it painless
Spoke 6 — six red flags + what a proactive accountant flags.
Six clear signs your accountant is letting you down: 1. **Poor communication** — slow replies, you chase them 2. **Missed or near-missed deadlines** — the thing you pay them to prevent 3. **Rising fees, flat value** — paying more for the same once-a-year compliance 4. **Reactive not proactive** — no advisory, no flagging of upcoming changes 5. **You have outgrown them** — no cloud software, no advisory, more complex business now 6. **You only hear from them once a year** — a compliance file, not a client A proactive accountant would have flagged the April 2026 dividend rise, the payments-on-account 1.5x shock, and the MTD transition for £50k+ self-employed and landlords. The cost of staying isn't just the fee — it is the tax overpaid, deadlines you sweat, and decisions without good advice. **Read the full guide at [rraccountants.uk/signs-to-change-accountant](https://rraccountants.uk/signs-to-change-accountant).**
