An accountant should not go quiet for eleven months, then reappear with an invoice.
Growth Ledger is proactive and year-round. One dedicated accountant, one fixed monthly fee, and tax efficiencies flagged while you can still act on them.
We handle the entire handover, including professional clearance with your current accountant.
You already have an accountant. That is not the problem.
The problem is what the relationship looks like the rest of the year.
You only hear from them at year end
Eleven months of silence, then a rushed request for paperwork and a set of accounts telling you what happened, far too late to change it.
The tax-saving ideas arrive too late
Suggestions land after the year has closed, when the decisions that would have saved you money are already behind you.
Emails take a week to answer
A quick question about a purchase, a hire, or a dividend sits unanswered while you make the call without advice.
The bill is a surprise
Extra charges for a phone call, a letter, a question. You end up rationing contact with the person meant to be advising you.
What working with us looks like instead
Tax efficiencies flagged during the year
We look at your position while there is still time to act on it, not once the year is closed and the options have expired.
Your dedicated accountant, on WhatsApp
One named accountant who knows your business, reachable the way you actually communicate. Quick questions get quick answers.
One fixed monthly fee
Agreed up front and unchanged by how often you contact us. No surprise invoices for a phone call, a letter, or a quick question.

How switching works
You send one email. We do the rest.
You send one email
A short note to your current accountant saying you are moving. That is the only part we cannot do for you. We will give you the wording.
We handle professional clearance
We write to them, request your records and handover information, and chase it. You are not in the middle of the conversation.
You are set up and running
Typically two to four weeks from start to finish, with no disruption to your filings. Deadlines are covered throughout the handover.
Based in west London, working with businesses across Ruislip, Uxbridge, Harrow, the Chalfonts, Gerrards Cross, Denham and surrounding areas — and remotely across the UK.
Questions people ask before switching
Is there a bad time of year to switch?
No. Switching works at any point in the year, including mid-year. If a filing deadline is close we start by making sure it is covered, then work through the handover behind it.
Will my current accountant make it difficult?
Rarely. Professional clearance is a routine part of accountancy and most firms handle it without fuss. If records are slow to arrive we chase them, and there are established routes if a firm is genuinely unresponsive.
Do I have to have an awkward conversation?
Only one short email telling them you are moving, and we give you the wording. Everything after that runs between the two firms.
What does it cost?
One fixed monthly fee, quoted up front once we understand your business, and unchanged by how often you contact us. There is no charge for the handover itself.
Will my filing deadlines slip?
No. We map your deadlines at the outset and take responsibility for them from the point we take over. Nothing is left in the gap between the two firms.
