A regular comment we hear when discussing how easy it is to switch accountants with prospective clients is “It seems like such a hassle to switch” but nothing could be further from the truth. So, we thought we’d lay out how simple it actually is, and how little effort is required by you to switch to an award-winning business improvement, tax and accounting service like Kiwitax.
How to switch accountants
The switching process for Kiwitax consists of a discussion to determine the perfect package of services to suit your needs resulting in a fixed price quote for your consideration. And then, upon acceptance, a client onboarding process to get you up and running with Kiwitax. It really is that simple.
Lets break down what these steps look like;
Needs assessment
A needs assessment discussion is to assess what kind of help and support you need and for what kind of business entities you have. This will help us to determine the perfect package to suit your needs and your budget. We will turn this needs assessment into a fixed price quote so you know exactly what we are proposing, what it will cost and when it will happen.
The information we need to know for a needs assessment is;
- What kind of business or businesses do you want help with?
- How is the business owned?
- How are the businesses structured (legal status)?
- What is the current annual turnover?
- Do you need accounting and tax help or business improvement too?
- What level of support do you need?
We can have this needs assessment discussion in person at our Napier office, or over the phone, whatever you prefer.
A fixed price quote is usually presented to you within one business day from this discussion.
Agreement & Onboarding
Then, once you are happy to proceed with Kiwitax services, you just need to let us know so we can kick off the onboarding process to get you set up and running, onboarding is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
- The onboarding process starts with our onboarding forms. You’ll be asked to provide us with details about yourself and your business, rental or trust so that we can get you set-up in our systems.
- Once we have verified your details, we will send you out a welcome pack that contains all of your key contacts, dates, payment arrangement forms and a few little Kiwitax goodies to say thanks for choosing Kiwitax. We will also send you an email requesting access to your accounting software package and to get linked up to your IRD account as your authorised Tax Agent.
- Finally, we will let your old accountant know on your behalf that we are picking up your accounting work moving forward, unless you would prefer to do this, in which case we’ll let you know when the right time is to let them know.
And that’s it, now you can pat yourself on the back for making a great decision to switch to an award-winning business improvement, tax and accounting service like Kiwitax.
So now you know how easy it is to switch accountants, what are you waiting for?
