Changing IT provider: accountants

Sector pains

What we hear from accountants

  • Self-assessment and year-end deadlines leave very little room for change.
  • Client records and tax software need dependable access and tested backups.
  • Staff share devices and mailboxes in ways that are hard to see and easy to get wrong.
  • Copilot looks promising for review and drafting, but only if permissions are right first.

Compliance

Compliance notes

  • Client financial data needs clear access controls and an audit trail.
  • Practices need to show sensible controls to clients, insurers and professional bodies.
  • Backups should be verified, not just reported as green.

This is general information, not legal or regulatory advice.

We plan changes around your calendar, not ours. A change freeze around your busy periods is part of every transition plan.

Every move starts with a read-only review, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Start with a second opinion on your current set-up. It works alongside your current provider.
