What do the team do?
Their Outsourcing department is rapidly evolving and has quadrupled in size over the past two years to meet the needs of its ever growing portfolio of clients. They typically work with moderately sized firms from a plethora of sectors that require our external expertise to help support them with operating their finance functions.
This can be on specific elements, such as data-entry and maintaining their books and records, support with VAT compliance, through to providing them with insightful management accounts. They can also offer a fully outsourced finance solution, which encompasses all aspects of an internal finance function.
They have a relationship centric approach and are trusted advisors to clients of all shapes and sizes, but they are typically owner managed businesses, giving you the opportunity to deal directly with the decision makers and to truly help shape the direction of their firm.
