Most growing companies reach a point where the finance workload has outgrown its setup and none of the obvious answers fit. A full-time hire is a sizing problem: a bookkeeper cannot produce the management reporting you will need within a year, and a qualified finance manager will spend half their week on data entry that does not need their qualification. An accounting practice is excellent at statutory work and expensive at daily volume.
A dedicated remote finance professional sits between the two. Enough recurring work to justify somebody, not enough certainty to justify a senior in-house hire. You direct the work as you would an employee; we carry the employment, the payroll and the replacement risk.
Handing over the whole function on day one is rarely wise. The work divides cleanly.
Hand over early: transaction processing and bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, payroll administration, bank reconciliations and preparation of the monthly management accounts. This is structured recurring work with a clear definition of done, and it is where dedicated capacity pays back fastest.
Keep close: judgement. Pricing, cash strategy, fundraising, banking relationships and the final read on what the numbers mean should stay with the owner, the board or a senior finance leader. Outsourcing execution works precisely because it frees the senior people you already have for that work.
Keep your practice for sign-off. A dedicated remote accountant and your existing accounting practice are complements, not substitutes. The professional does the daily and monthly work inside your systems; the practice reviews and files. Be wary of any provider who tells you otherwise.
Finance work touches everything sensitive: banking, payroll, supplier terms. Three things to insist on, from us or from anyone else.
We do not publish rates. The comparison to make is between the fully loaded cost of the equivalent in-house hire, which is salary plus employer National Insurance, pension, recruitment fee and equipment, and an inclusive rate that already carries employment, payroll, insurance and benefits inside it. Work out your side of it on the cost calculator, then ask us for the rate card against the specific role.
No. The professional does the daily and monthly work in your systems; your practice handles statutory work and sign-off. Most of the finance engagements we see run both.
We do, through our registered entity in the United Kingdom, the UAE or Pakistan. You direct the work; we carry the employment, payroll and compliance, and you need no entity of your own.
Yes. A defined scope at part-time hours is a common and sensible entry point, usually a bookkeeper who owns transaction processing and the month-end pack, expanded only once that is working.
