What do you do when your firm has more clients than your team can serve? With deadlines to meet and every client to keep happy, many firms outsource some of the work to another firm. Done well, it is a cost-effective way to handle overflow, or work you don't have the expertise for in-house.
Why it is cost-effective
Finding the right partner takes some effort at the start. After that, you have experienced accountants available when you need them. There are no weeks of induction: you set the standards, the fees and the timeline, and you review the work when it comes back.
Spend less, keep more
Every firm needs to keep its clients and finish work on time. To make more profit, it also needs to spend less. You pay an outsourcing firm for the work it does, not a salary. Your own team isn't overloaded, and you don't pay overtime in the busy season.
Keep it confidential
Agree confidentiality in writing before any records change hands. A registered tax agent is already bound by the Tax Practitioners Board's Code of Professional Conduct, which requires client information to be kept confidential. Make sure your clients have agreed to their information being shared, as the Code requires.
Delegate well
Outsourcing works best when you delegate clearly: the right work to the right people, with clear instructions. Get that right and the results show in your firm's figures. For a growing firm, outsourcing bookkeeping and accounting work is a sound way to grow without the costs growing as fast.
