Switching accountants in Barry without making the awkward phone call
Switching accountants in Barry is something most owners put off for a year, usually because of one call they do not want to make. You do not have to make it.
The worry is the gap in the middle: a missed VAT quarter, a late set of accounts, records sitting with the old firm. We write for your records, agree your fixed fee in writing before we start, and tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice in Cardiff Bay that moves Barry businesses from their current accountant, writing for the records and taking over bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, accounts and tax on a fixed fee agreed in writing, with tax investigation cover included free.
Check we’re the right fit
A few questions about your business. Mudassir replies the same working day.
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.

Answer the three below with a button and you get your result on this page.
Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know your fee for this year will not change?
If HMRC wrote to you tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means you are carrying the risk and the chasing yourself. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers and replies the same working day.
Start the checkYou are covered on at least one count that matters. The gap in the others is worth ten minutes on the phone, and the call is free.
Start the checkYou are well served where it counts, so there is no reason to move. Read the guides and come back to us if that changes.
Read the guidesWhat you get when you move to us
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
A fixed fee agreed before we start
You see the fee in writing before any work begins. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top.
The handover done for you
We write to your current accountant for your records and get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House.
What Barry owners tell us before they switch
These are the three things we hear most in a first conversation.
I only hear from my accountant once a year, and that is when the bill lands.
A year of questions went unasked. By the time the accounts arrived, the decisions had already been made.
Every phone call I make ends up on an invoice, so I stopped ringing him.
One owner stopped asking before he bought a van. The VAT on it got sorted a year late.
I got an HMRC bill nobody explained and my accountant still has not called back.
Payments on account set from an estimate can sit there for years. Nobody checks them unless you ask.
What changes once we take it on
In the first month we read your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. Every deadline for the year ahead is mapped and sent to you. You ring us when something comes up and it costs nothing.
How switching usually goes, and how it goes with us
Most accountants will hand records over properly; the difference is who does the chasing.
Switching the way most people try it
You ring your old accountant and ask for the records yourself.
The handover sits with you while deadlines keep moving.
The fee is quoted after the work has been scoped.
Investigation cover is sold as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.

Eight questions about your current set-up
Answer these before you decide whether to move.
Did you get a reply the last time you emailed your accountant?
We come back the same working day, even if the full answer takes longer.
Was your fee for this year agreed in writing before the work began?
Ours is, and it does not move once it is agreed.
Have you been invoiced for a phone call?
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top here.
Do you know your next VAT and accounts deadlines without looking them up?
We map every deadline for the year in your first month.
Has anyone checked whether your payments on account are set too high?
That is one of the first things we look at in an old HMRC record.
Would your accountant handle an HMRC enquiry at no extra charge?
Tax investigation cover is included free for every client of ours.
Are your books kept in cloud software you can see?
We move clients to Xero free if they want to switch.
Did you pay for your Companies House ID verification?
We did it free for every client when the rule came in.
What we do when you switch to us
The handover and the year of filings that follows sit on one fixed fee.
All Services near you- The handover letter
- We write to your current accountant for your records and chase them, so you never make that call.
- ID checks and agent authority
- We complete your anti-money laundering checks and get authorised with HMRC and Companies House as your agent.
- A review of your old returns
- We read your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records for unclaimed reliefs, estimated payments on account and penalties worth appealing.

- Records kept in cloud software, quarterly VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, payslips, pensions and RTI submissions.

What we found when a client let us look at his HMRC record
A client came to us owing HMRC around £20,000 across Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment. He had no idea what the debts were for.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
- How it was found
- We went through every line and found a large part of the Self Assessment balance was payments on account based on estimates, so we filed his return early.
- What happened
- That part of the debt was cancelled, HMRC wrote off the interest charged on it, and he knew exactly what he owed.
Reviews from clients
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.
I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!
Friendly, nice 👌 , helpful and great all around
Difficult to describe as there are too many words that can be expressed for a wonderful accountant and their firm.
Definitely 🔝 and highly recommended in Wales 🏴 and throughout the UK for Accountancy and Tax Services

How switching to us works
Four stages, and the only call you make is to us.
- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions on the site. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and if we are a fit we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
Records requested for you
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Your old returns reviewed
We go through your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
Deadlines mapped for the year
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on your bookkeeping set-up. You know what is coming up and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not prepare charity accounts.
We cannot take on a business already late in an HMRC investigation.
If you are unsure which side of that you sit on, start the check and we will tell you straight.
Switching accountants in Barry: questions people ask
What does switching accountants in Barry cost?
You get a fixed fee agreed in writing before any work starts, covering the services you take, and calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top. The handover itself carries no separate charge, your first month is free, and so is the move to Xero if you want it.
Do I have to tell my current accountant I am leaving?
No. We write to them in week one and ask for your records, your trial balance and your tax history, then chase if nothing comes back. Most accountants hand everything over without trouble. You carry on running the business while that happens in the background.
What happens if HMRC writes to me after I switch?
Send us the letter and we deal with HMRC for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, where other firms sell it as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Do I have to change accounting software to switch?
No. If your records are already in software that works, we carry on with it. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free, set up the bank feeds and show you the three screens you will actually use. The choice is yours.
How long does switching accountants in Barry take?
Week one covers ID checks, the letter to your old accountant and agent authority with HMRC and Companies House. In the first month we review your past returns and map every deadline for the year. By ninety days we have gone through how you pay yourself.
Is there a point where you would turn a switch down?
Yes. We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors or charity accounts, and we cannot pick up a business that is already late in an HMRC investigation. We say so at the first conversation rather than three weeks in, and we will say why.
