How to Outsource Accounting

Congratulations!  Your business has grown to the point where your current team is too busy, or too specialized, to manage all of your core functions.

You have a reason or set or reasons to contemplate outsourcing accounting tasks.

You’ve decided to use a skilled, trusted outside partner to take some of those tasks off your hands.

This is a great decision, but it can also seem overwhelming.  You may still be wondering how to outsource accounting tasks – how do you get started?

How to Outsource Accounting

Step One – Choose the accounting tasks you’d like to outsource first

Start by selecting the tasks that are the most difficult for your team to perform on their own, or that require the most skills or time. Some common accounting tasks to outsource include:

  • Financial management & analysis
  • Reporting
  • Treasury
  • Credit control & invoicing
  • Invoice processing & help desk
  • Procure-to-pay services
  • Accounts receivable & collections
  • General ledger accounting
  • Fixed Assets Management
  • Period closing & bookkeeping
  • Contract & order management
  • Payroll
  • Business setup
  • Corporate document management
  • Quality and process improvement
  • Advisory services

Step Two – Consult with Global Virtuoso.

In our conversation, we will ask questions about your priorities and preferences, and develop a plan of action, including cost and schedule estimates.  We’ll discuss any needed documents or software access we need, including security measures, to get started.

Step Three – Agreement

We’ll define the agreement to include everything we’ve discussed, in enough detail that everyone is comfortable with their roles and responsibilities from your team members and ours so that we have a complete and clear team process.

Step Four – Review Your First Set of Deliverables

We’ll provide the first set of deliverables for the tasks included.  We’ll discuss, revise the process and make any adjustments to ensure we meet or exceed your expectations.

Step Five – Repeat!

For repeatable processes like payroll and periodic reporting, once we’ve got the hard work out of the way, your reports, documents or other deliverables keep coming on the schedule we’ve agreed with a minimum of work on your part.
