Why Should you outsource your finance Function?
At Stanton Accountancy, we are passionate about supporting businesses on their plans for growth. One way we do this is by being your outsourced finance team- we do can act as your finance assistant through to accountant, financial controller and even CFO.
There are the many advantages to outsourcing your finance department, look at our thoughts below:
1. Cost Savings
Reduced overhead: No need to hire full-time, in-house finance staff (e.g., accountants, controllers, CFOs).
Scalable services: Pay only for what you need — no overstaffing.
Lower infrastructure costs: No need to invest in accounting software, office space, or training.
2. Access to Expertise
High-level experience: Gain access to senior finance professionals (e.g., CFO-level insights) that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive.
Up-to-date compliance: Outsourced providers stay current with financial regulations, tax codes, and reporting requirements.
Specialised knowledge: Expertise in complex areas like tax planning, audits, and financial modelling.
3. Improved Efficiency and Accuracy
Streamlined processes: Outsourcing firms use proven systems and best practices to improve speed and reduce errors.
Automation & technology: Leverage advanced accounting tools and platforms without the need to manage them yourself.
Timely reporting: Access to up-to-date financial statements, KPIs, and dashboards.
4. Scalability and Flexibility
Adaptable to growth: Finance services can grow with your business without the need to constantly hire and train staff.
Project-based or ongoing support: Get help for specific tasks (e.g., audit prep, financial forecasting) or long-term needs.
5. Enhanced Focus on Core Business
Free up internal resources: Let leadership and staff concentrate on growth, operations, and customer service.
Strategic decision-making: With financial reporting and analysis handled, leaders can focus on using the data to make smarter decisions.
6. Risk Reduction
Compliance management: Avoid penalties and errors in tax filings, payroll, or financial reporting.
Internal controls: Many outsourced providers implement strong financial controls and reduce fraud risk.
Disaster recovery: Secure backups and continuity plans are often included in professional services.
