What you get with Switch Accountants
The hidden cost of staying put
Most people stay with a so-so accountant because switching feels like hassle. But staying has a price — in penalties, missed tax savings and wasted hours.
Slow to respond
Emails unanswered for days, calls to voicemail. You're left chasing for basic facts about your own finances.
Missed deadlines
Late-filing notices and penalties you should never have received — because you were the one keeping track of dates.
No proactive advice
You hear from them once a year, if that. No tax planning, no guidance — just a bill and a set of accounts.
Paying too much tax
Without proactive planning you're almost certainly not as tax-efficient as you could be. Every year is money you won't get back.
Traditional firm, traditional costs
Hourly billing and surprise invoices for 'extra work'. No fixed price, no certainty — the bill's always higher than expected.
No decent software
PDFs and spreadsheets in the post. No real-time view, no app, no dashboard — no visibility into your numbers.
Workwell vs the alternatives
How a dedicated online accountant stacks up against a traditional high-street firm and a bargain-basement online service.
| Traditional firm | Online basic | WorkwellBest value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Responsiveness | Often 3–5 day replies | Ticket-based, can be slow | Dedicated accountant, same-day |
| Advice | Reactive — you ask, they answer | Very limited advice | Proactive planning, unlimited advice |
| Software | Manual, PDFs, spreadsheets | Basic, sometimes included | FreeAgent included free |
| Pricing | Hourly or unclear annual fee | Low fee, limited scope | Fixed all-inclusive monthly price |
| Dedicated accountant | Often rotates between staff | None | Your own, who knows your business |
| Year-end accounts | Included (often slow) | Often extra | Always included |
| VAT returns | Usually extra | Often extra | Always included |
| MTD compliance | Variable — many not ready | Basic only | Full MTD support via FreeAgent |
| Setup / switch fee | Often charged | Usually none | None — ever |

The difference a dedicated accountant makes
Zero transition fees
We manage the entire switching process for free. There are no hidden setup fees, onboarding charges, or exit costs from our side.
Continuous compliance management
We map out your key tax deadlines during the handover. Your filings remain accurate and on schedule throughout the transition.
Dedicated expert support
You get direct access to a named, qualified accountant. No call centres, no generic support queues, just expert advice when you need it.
Free FreeAgent software
We provide and set up your FreeAgent account at no extra charge. Track expenses, send invoices, and view real-time cash flow easily.
Going it alone vs having us in your corner
You can absolutely do your own books. Here's what actually changes when a dedicated accountant takes it off your plate.
Doing it yourself
Accounting software
Pay for FreeAgent yourself — that's £100s a year on top.
Tax savings
Easy to miss allowable expenses, reliefs and allowances.
Your time
Evenings lost to receipts, spreadsheets and HMRC admin.
Knowledge & deadlines
MTD, National Insurance and filing dates — costly to get wrong.
With Workwell
Accounting software
FreeAgent included free, set up and ready to go.
Tax savings

Your time

Knowledge & deadlines
A named accountant keeps you compliant and filed on time, every time.
The bottom line
Free software, more tax saved and your time back — for just £42.50/mo.
Most clients save more in tax and software than they pay us. Switching takes minutes.
