How it works

Switch accountants in three steps

We collect your documents, bring your books up to date and pick up where your previous accountant left off.

1 Authorise us and send us your documents

Authorise us with the Tax Agency

It's called apoderamiento: your authorisation for us to act on your behalf with the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT). You do it online on the Tax Agency website, with your digital certificate or Cl@ve, and we guide you step by step.

Your papers from your previous accountant

Your tax record books, your tax registration (form 036 or 037) and any changes to it, and the notices you've received. If you authorise us, we ask your accountant for them.

Your invoices and receipts for the year

Take a photo with the app, forward the email or share them from Google Drive. If you invoice with FacturaDirecta, connect your account.

2 We bring your books up to date

Your accounting books, up to date

Abaq records your invoices for the year and brings your official accounting books up to date.

Starting from what's already filed

We start from what your previous accountant filed this year, so your next returns pick up where they left off.

If something doesn't add up, we explain it

We tell you what happened and how to fix it. If fixing it has a cost, we tell you before we start.

From your first quarter with Abaq

Your first fee covers the current quarter. From that quarter on, we prepare and file your taxes.

You review it and give your approval

You review each return in the app and we file it with the Tax Agency on time.

The filing receipt, in the app

Every return we file stays in the app with its filing receipt, for whenever you need it.

When to switch

The best time to switch

You can switch whenever you like. Ideally, tell your accountant before the end of the month and start with Abaq on the 1st of the next.

At the start of the year

It's the simplest option: we handle your whole tax year, from the first quarter to the annual summaries.

At the start of a quarter

Your previous accountant files the quarter they handled, and we take over from the next one.

Whenever you need to

If you have a problem with your accountant, don't wait: we make the switch at any time.
