When Current Advisor No Longer Fits

Many start with cheap Cypriot accountant – until complex questions arise. Then: forms-filler vs real advisor becomes clear. Switching: easier than Germany.

When to Switch

Warning signs: no proactive advice, deadlines missed, no DBA coordination, no tax optimization offered. Best timing: after fiscal year. Urgent: immediately – CMC takes over mid-year.

The section on "When Current Advisor No Longer Fits" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
