 Top 10 reasons for outsourcing

1. Save time Once the routine finance and accounting work is off your hands, you have the time and resources to focus on core activities.
2. More efficient use of resources Resources which had been tied up are freed for business building, providing you with a competitive edge.
3. Focus on core activities Outsourcing non-core/fringe activities increases the reliability of your own service provision.
4. Quality assurance Professional service provision is guaranteed – and you gain access to global expertise and resources.
5. Cut labor Costs Eliminate the hassle of finding, training and supervising accounting staff.
6. Reduce risk Ensure compliance with deadlines, eliminating the risk of fines.
7. Eliminate waste Buy only what you need. Outsourcers bear the cost of accountants, payroll staff and expensive accounting systems and hardware equipment.
8. Data security Ring-fence confidential information, especially information on salaries.
9. A close, constructive relationship with the authorities It helps to have personal contacts at the authorities. Give our expert a power of attorney, or use a data box. BDO ensures the accuracy of all documents and when an inspector calls, we can represent you at any institution and inspections.
10. Outsource the risk Spread the risk that accompanies accounting and payroll - share it with BDO.
