Outsourced Finance Team

A complete finance department, without the headcount.

We operate as your finance department or alongside your existing team, handling bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, monthly performance reporting, and all of your company’s year-end compliance. A UK-based team of finance professionals, all wrapped into one rolling monthly contract.

If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.

Outsourced finance is built for UK limited companies that have outgrown their setup. Maybe you’ve got a bookkeeper but no strategic view. Or an existing finance manager stretched too thin. Or your accountant only surfaces at year-end.

  • Struggling to get accurate numbers when you need them?
  • Making decisions on gut instinct rather than solid financial reporting?
  • Can’t see where cash is going — or what’s really driving profit?
  • Finance can’t keep up with the pace your business is growing?
  • Worried about tax liabilities and staying compliant with HMRC?
  • Tired of being your own accountant on top of running the business?

How it works

1. Kick-off meeting

  1. Meet you and your team (preferably in person as we are a people business).
  2. Get to understand your business. What do you do? How do you do it?
  3. Understand your requirements and any problems that you are facing.
  4. Review your current finance systems and processes and understand where your pain points currently are.

2. Design

  1. Design the processes that we are going to introduce.
  2. Understand your deadlines. When do you need to close the books, and when do you need information by?
  3. Establish how we will communicate with you and agree on the ways of working.
  4. Establish the systems and tech that we are going to introduce.
  5. Get set up with HMRC access.

3. Implementation and Go Live

  1. Services go live with transaction processing, reporting and insight to give you an accurate handle on exactly how the company is performing.
  2. Our finance function is now working as part of your own wider business team.

4. After Go Live

1. Continuous feedback and improvement. We have regular service updates with you to understand where further improvements can be made.

2. More insight and action as we look at trends and become embedded as part of your trusted team.

Remember, although we provide our services remotely, this is NOT a call centre type arrangement. You will have dedicated support from our team with real humans, so you will get to know them, and they will get to know you.

Typical packages for our Finance Outsourcing Services

Our fees are charged monthly and agreed with you in advance. We charge one month’s fee as a transition fee to set up the service. To give you some context on our fees, if you hire a bookkeeper directly, their annual salary will likely be £25k to £30k plus employment taxes. Our service allows you to access bookkeeping skills PLUS senior finance skills to help you with business growth and decision-making. Our fees for a fully outsourced finance team start at £695 per month plus VAT.

Our outsourced finance department packages are designed for growing SMEs. Each level builds on the last, so you can scale your finance function as your business grows. All packages can be tailored to your specific needs.

We are moving from start-up phase to scale-up during which time Mark and his team have offered us invaluable advice and support. This has meant we can focus on those areas driving growth, confident that the business plan, managements accounts and back-office finance functions are all being looked after.  A great level of service and I would highly recommend.”

Frequently Asked Questions

I have an existing finance team already – is this a problem?
Definitely not. We can work alongside your existing finance team. If required, we can also pass on our knowledge and expertise which may help improve experience across the whole team.
Do you actually send someone to my offices to work on my accounts?
This depends. Generally we like our people to be as closely aligned to your business as possible and we want them to be integral to your team. By working alongside you that relationship becomes more natural so if travel limitations can be managed we put people on site. However, we are big fans of using the latest cloud based accounting software which means that we can provide support remotely and supplement this with regular contact calls to keep you up to speed.
If I use your services do I need to switch off services with my current accountant?
Not necessarily. We have worked with clients who have built up great relationships with their existing accountants over the years and want to maintain that relationship. We are always respectful of this and will work with you in a way that means you will get the service that you need from us, but your existing accountants will continue to provide their existing services.
What does an outsourced finance department actually do?
An outsourced finance department replaces the need to build a finance team in-house. We handle your bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, bank reconciliations, payment runs and credit control, as well as management accounts, cash flow forecasts and board-level reporting. You get the expertise of a full finance team, without the overheads of recruiting and managing staff.
How much does an outsourced finance team cost for a small or medium-sized business?
Our outsourced finance department packages for SMEs start from £695 + VAT per month, depending on the level of support you need. This is usually significantly more cost-effective than hiring even one in-house finance manager, especially when you factor in recruitment, salary, pensions and software costs. We’ll recommend the most suitable package for your limited company during a free consultation. Visit our pricing page for more details.
Do I need to be based in Surrey to work with you?
No. We’re based in Reigate and work with many clients across Surrey, South London and the wider South East, but we support limited companies throughout the UK using cloud accounting systems and online meetings. If you’re local, we’re happy to meet in person; if not, everything can be handled remotely just as effectively.
