Outsourced Accounting in UK

Outsourcing an accounting or HR function in UK may seem like a strange concept to many small business owners in the UK, as conventional wisdom dictates that an organization should always perform all functions in-house, wherever possible. However, modern schools of management suggest that growing businesses benefit far more by focusing on their core competency and outsourcing ancillary functions at a lower cost.

Therefore, if you are a sales-based organization, you would ensure that marketing and sales are all done in-house, but ancillary functions such as accounting, HR and legal are outsourced. The benefits from this approach can be manifold:

1. Allow your team to focus on their core competencies: Time spent on other tasks is time taken away from their core competency, in cases where employees are used for functions outside their primary role/
2. Provide your organisation with greater flexibility: Outsourcing allows you to hire team members based on seasonal requirements i.e. Self-Assessment, instead of being saddled with an added annual cost.
3. Save on overheads: When you outsource these functions instead of hiring an additional employee, you save on overheads such as sick days, leave and high salary costs.
4. Allows for greater expertise: Outsourcing these functions allows you to bring in experts with a wealth of experience, who may have otherwise been beyond your organisation’s budget.
