How it works

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 you do? How 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.

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 the ways of working
4. Establish the systems and tech that we are going to introduce.
5. Get set up with HMRC access

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.

After go live:

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

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

Remember – we do provide our services remotely, but 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.

Our fees for a fully outsourced finance team start at £600 per month plus VAT.
