INSIGHTS
Why small businesses are embracing outsourcing
The need for financial transparency and compliance for businesses of every size is growing. This means that entrepreneurs are filling the roles of accountants, sales, procurement, and so much more, leaving limited time for strategic thinking designed to grow the business. This growing reality is fuelling a growing shift to outsourcing, where businesses of all sizes (including those that are large and established) are seeking to redistribute functions that are best left to professionals while the business owner is free to focus on what matters most – building the business.
Here’s why we are seeing this growing trend:
- Access to expert knowledge
- Compliance
When it comes to your business, you want the best and most knowledgeable people on board. That’s why accountants are so valuable – they have up-to-date knowledge of all compliance aspects that impact this crucial part of running any successful enterprise.
- It’s more cost-effective
Outsourcing converts fixed to variable costs, i.e. you only pay for the services when you need them. In addition, the flexible scalability of outsourced services means that you can scale services up or down as and when you need to, in line with the needs of your business.
- Improved productivity
When you have the right team handling your books, it means that you can focus your time on those activities that are most important for business growth.
- Saves time
Outsourcing is an excellent way to free up senior management time and make better use of it. By offloading tasks that can be more effectively performed by the professionals, management can focus more attention on developing new strategies for growth.
