Outsourcing (the contracting out of an organization's services to an outside supplier) has many benefits for all organizations. By outsourcing components of their business - especially non-core, non-revenue producing activities such as bookkeeping, financial reporting, payroll or other back office services- organizations can focus on their core competencies. Some may think that using outsourced services is a bad idea because of less control and more costs, but that is a myth that has been proven wrong countlessly. In reality, there are greater benefits by outsourcing your various services than by organizing your own department or doing the work by yourself.

Greater "control” over the business and the accounting and finance function

Management is freed up to focus more time, energy, and resources on building the company's core businesses as we assume full responsibility for managing the day-to-day back-office operations. Many executives are under the impression that outsourcing reduces "control" over the relevant function. In fact, outsourcing greatly increases "control". Why? Because management has better control when it can spend time in "analyzing” business information instead of simply managing the daily aspects of the function.

Accurate, timely and useful reporting

We provide our clients with best management reports. For example; instead of the typical financial statements, we believe that real value comes from understanding revenue, costs and profits generated by individual products/services, offices, salespeople, departments, and customers. We work with clients to put best practice processes and technologies in place to gather and reports on each pertinent dimension of the business in real-time.

The ability to focus on strategic, pertinent finance issues instead of non-value added activities

One of the most significant benefits our clients report is the increased focus on important financial issues affecting the business instead of spending valuable time managing the related accounting and finance department and the clerical staff. Through outsourcing, management can focus on more strategic issues and other important company initiatives, and has more flexibility to assign staff and allocate resources to higher-value projects.

Elimination of the headache of recruiting, hiring and managing clerical staff

Managing a clerical staff that typically has high turnover and requires extensive training is generally a headache for most financial managers and takes time away from other priorities more important to the business. In this context, you can actually save money through using outsourced accounting and finance function services.

Achieve cost reductions and save your money

Outsourcing your accounting and finance function needs has proven to provide many benefits. These benefits will not only save you time and money, but will also provide solutions to help you grow and expand your business based on the information you receive from us. Accounting and finance function can be a very strenuous task that requires a lot of attention to detail as well as knowledge about the field to have it done correctly. Because such services can be outsourced so easily and can be done at a more reasonable rate than in-house, outsourced accounting and finance has proven over time to be the best option.
