Five Reasons to Outsource your Finance Function

Tabitha Reid (view profile) heads up the Outsourced Finance function at Donald Reid Group.  In this video, she outlines the benefits of SMEs using outsourcing services for accounts, payroll, VAT and monthly management accounts.

Why should you outsource your finance function?
Running a finance department is a combination of routine tasks such as bookkeeping VAT and payroll, as well as preparing more strategic information such as monthly management accounts.

Good information to help your decision-making

Accurate and timely information on performance, cash flow and budgets enables business owners to make informed decisions to drive their business forward

The right people doing the right task

Staffing requirements in the finance team can vary throughout the month. It is also difficult to ensure that tasks are performed by people with the right skills. For example, you don’t want to pay a qualified accountant to input data and you don’t want a bookkeeper preparing vital management information. By outsourcing, you will have access to a full team ensuring that the right skills are available.

A flexible solution
Outsourcing is flexible. You can increase or decrease the services you require relatively quickly. As you grow, you can increase your usage and once you reach an optimal size you can bring the finance department back in-house, should it be more cost effective to do so.

Expert advice

Outsourcing gives you access to a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge at a fraction of the cost of developing this expertise in-house. You should also have peace of mind knowing that your compliance is taken care of.

Fixed fees
We offer transparent fees helping you budget effectively and smooth your costs across the year.

"My company has used DRG for a number of years. They are proactive and efficient with all aspects of their work. They keep on top of our tax and accounting requirements, and help with the development of our business strategy.

We view DRG as a key supplier and crucially a partner and would highly recommend the firm – in particular to other fast growing businesses."

David Folkman, Director

"I’ve worked with a number of accountants over the years and have never found another company who offers the same level of care, support and professionalism. They’re always on hand to offer advice and guidance, above and beyond the service that I pay for. I would recommend them wholeheartedly."

Joe Hill, Director

"Very supportive and friendly company from day one."

Outdoor Academy

"I have always worked as an employee so when I decided to set up my own business, I did not know where to start. DRG took the time to explain how working as a sole trader would be more beneficial to me setting up a limited company (which I had always thought was a requirement for running a business). They gave me practical advice on the records I need to keep as well as general guidance on setting up my business and helped me claim a large tax refund after my first year of trading."

Sole Trader

"I have been a client through a number of different ventures with DRG since 2007. They have proved the benefits of a local firm with Big 4 experience in providing sound business and tax advice by being accessible, having in-depth knowledge of my business and able to form good working relationships at different levels with me and my staff. We also enjoy the benefit of their excellent accountancy and payroll services. I couldn’t recommend them more highly."
