Fraud Prevention
Outsourced accounting increases internal controls.
Most SMEs are victims of fraud which cost £9bn per year in invoice fraud, equating to an average of £1,168 per year per SME. In 2016, 1 in 6 SMEs fraud cost them more than £5k.
Almost ½ of SMEs are concerned about the rate in which fraud is accelerating, and a staggering 47% have received a fraudulent/suspicious invoice in 2016. But only 44% would call the police, 8% would take no action and 13% don’t know what they’d do.
Outsourced accounting offers options, valuable feedback, and suggestions to grow your business, which provides a means to financial flexibility. By having a team of professional accountants working on your books allows for more reliability than having an in-house employee keeping them. Outsourcing accounting operations affords you a team of people to collaborate on your accounting needs and reporting and to double-check each other to ensure accurate findings.
With just one in-house accountant, it’s too difficult to hold departmental purchasing and spending individually accountable. Outsourcing enables an organisation to receive a quality service while meeting deadlines.

Outsource your accounting to a full-service accounting firm, which allows for communication amongst the various departments and ensures deadlines are met on a timely basis with limited work required from business owners.
