Switching accountant in Cyprus is easier than you think
If your current accountant is slow, reactive, or only appears at deadlines, you can switch with a documented handover. We manage the entire handover for you — collecting your records, reconciling the opening position, and taking over your filings with each upcoming deadline assigned.
How the handover works

A short call to understand your business, your filings and what's not working today.

Common questions about switching
Appoint your new firm, sign a short authority letter, and the new accountant requests handover (professional clearance) from the outgoing one — subject to applicable professional and contractual requirements. We manage the whole process while identifying responsibility for each outstanding filing.
Not when it's handled properly. We time the move around your filing calendar, collect everything from your previous accountant, reconcile the opening position, and agree responsibility for VAT, payroll and tax deadlines.
You can switch at any time, but the cleanest moments are after a year end or VAT period. We'll advise the smoothest timing for your situation — and we identify upcoming deadlines and agree responsibility for each filing.
There's a recognised professional clearance process. We handle the request and follow up; in practice timing depends on the records available and the outgoing professional's response.
