    Accountants aren't known for sharing what is probably really dull information about people, just because they're not a paying customer.
    It would be bad for business.
    In breach of their professional obligations.
    And quite possibly illegal depending on the details.

    Those three things will keep them schtum a lot more than you paying them £100 a month.
    Thanks. When I change Accountant who do I need to inform? Or will the Accountant deal with that?

      You should send an email to both new and old accountants confirming the change and giving authorisation to the outgoing accountant to provide any and all information the new accountant requires in order to take over.

      Then leave them to it.

        I have only ever had one accountant.
        Just get on with it. You are making mountain of a molehill. Changing accounts is common and they will all be very well versed on it. I would mention it straight off the bat as its something you need to get cleared up quick. To them your question is pretty trivial and I'd be surprised if they didn't give you the answer in the same call.

        Stop dithering and do it.
