Why Outsourcing Your Finance Function Makes More Sense Than Being Chased For Paperwork

I once heard from an accountant who said their team was spending nearly a third of their time chasing clients for missing information. To fix this, they hired an admin person, just to chase records.

Imagine that, a firm with fewer than 10 people had over 10% of their staff dedicated to asking clients for documents to complete their end-of-year accounts.

Sure, this freed up some accountant time, but it didn’t solve the real problem. Clients were still being chased, and the whole experience was clunky and reactive.

As a business owner, the last thing you want is another person popping into your inbox, asking for something you forgot you needed to send.

This is Why We Do Things Differently

We cut you out of the middle of the process altogether.

  • Xero bank feeds take care of transaction data automatically

  • A shared accounts inbox lets us access everything we need without endless email back-and-forth

That means you don’t have to forward documents or dig through old emails. The info comes straight to us, so you can keep focusing on what you do best, or if you prefer, just relax and pick your toenails.

What Does That Mean for You?

  • Less time wasted on chasing and clarifying

  • Fewer annoying emails and phone calls

  • A cleaner set of books updated in real time, not months behind

This is more than just efficiency. It’s about respecting your time and making your finance function work smoothly in the background.

Why Outsourced Finance Beats Once-a-Year Accountants and Standalone Bookkeepers

Relying on a once-a-year accountant means your financial information is always behind. You get a snapshot long after the fact, often after you’ve already had to make important decisions without a clear picture.

A standalone bookkeeper might keep the books ticking over, but they don’t always connect the dots or offer the wider financial insight your business needs.

Outsourcing your entire finance function means you get a proactive, integrated service that keeps your accounts clean, up-to-date and connected to the bigger picture. It’s a smarter way to run your business finances.
