5. After signing our contract and before the transition process begins, it is important to inform your current accountant that you will be switching to Mercian Accountants.

Here is an example letter you may wish to use. This will help ensure a smooth transition and avoid any potential conflicts with your previous accountant. We will work closely with your current accountant to obtain all the necessary information to ensure a seamless transition, and we appreciate your cooperation in facilitating this process.
