Accountinuity will help accounting, bookkeeping, and tax firms structure business continuity agreements between firms, built to stand up in practice.
Many firms nominate a partner, friend, or colleague as their continuity contact, but often do so without a formal agreement or any real handover plan in place.
Regulatory bodies require continuity plans, but they do not verify whether they are workable. When tested in real situations, clients often leave and the estate receives little or nothing for the practice.
Informal plans regularly fall apart when they are needed most. Clients go unsupported, families face stress and uncertainty, and the value of the practice is lost.
In most cases, no one has immediate access to the firm’s systems, passwords, or tools. Without these, it is nearly impossible to maintain continuity of service for clients.
Accountinuity will offer formalised continuity arrangements that work in practice, not just on paper.
Connect with approved continuity partners, formalise your existing arrangement, or register with Accountinuity as a back-up
Whether you already have a named continuity partner or need help finding one, Accountinuity gives you a structured way to formalise and register that arrangement
In the event of death or incapacity, Accountinuity helps maintain client service and, where appropriate, preserves the value of the practice
