Switching fiduciaries: how easy it is

Switching your fiduciary is possible at any time and, done properly, causes no disruption to your business. Here is how a clean handover works.

Step by step

How it works

01

Terminate the old fiduciary

Give notice to your current fiduciary in line with your agreement and confirm the end date in writing.

02

Request your files and access

Ask for all accounting records, documents and access credentials so nothing is lost in the transition.

03

Set up powers of attorney

Sign the powers of attorney that allow your new fiduciary to act for you with authorities, banks and insurers.

04

Take over open items

Review and take over any open tasks, deadlines and ongoing matters so nothing falls through the cracks.

05

Continue seamlessly

With files and access in place, your new fiduciary continues your bookkeeping, payroll and tax work without interruption.
