Back-office services for mid-sized companies
Six services with fixed monthly fees. Most clients start with finance operations or payroll and add the rest once the first handover has settled.
Every service, and who does the work
R does the work, A signs it off, C is asked first and I is told after. The proposal sets these line by line.

Questions finance directors ask
Do you replace our accountants or auditors?
No. We do the routine work and prepare what your accountants and auditors need. They stay independent of us.
Which systems do you work in?
Yours. We log in to your accounting, payroll and HR systems with our own named users, so you can see and remove every access.
What happens if a service level is missed?
The monthly report shows it, with the reason and what we changed. Repeated misses reduce the fee as set out in the contract (sample terms).
Can we take the work back in-house later?
Yes. The procedures we write during the transition are yours, and the contract includes a handback plan with ninety days’ notice.
