How Corient employs state-of-the-art expertise to enrich firms’ accounting practices
Why good accounting practices matter in business
June 15: Businesses have limited resources whether in terms of finance, time or labor. Best practices of accounting address the issues of resource wastage by providing cost-effective strategies to allocate our resources wisely. These best practices can be brought around by outsourcing accounting.
There are two cases where outsourced accounting emerges as a reasonable way out. First, when a company expands, so do its financial obligations. At this point, its accounting processes become complex and time-consuming. Second in the case of small businesses, where start-ups and entrepreneurs cannot afford the in-house services of an accountant. It especially becomes difficult for them to find someone skilled enough to compile financial statements, handle bank account operations, evaluate financial data, etc.
Consequently, in both the cases it becomes difficult for entrepreneurs to decide whether in-house solutions will be feasible for the company or outsourced. It is very normal to analyse if the inside staff is capable of carrying out the accounting process without leading to fraud or data mishandling. If not, then the ideal way out is to outsource accounting. Thus, relieving oneself of its burden. This is not only cost-effective but yields qualitative results as well.
Benefits of outsourced accounting
The chief benefit of outsourcing in any field is the ‘benefit of expertise and updated knowledge and technology’. In reality, the out-of-pocket expense of outsourcing is frequently little when weighed against the benefits it provides.
Previously, it was considered a luxury that only large firms could afford. But today, most small-scale enterprises find their comfort in outsourcing. Cost-effectiveness remains the primary reason for these companies to outsource administrative duties like bookkeeping and accounting. It saves money by reducing the hefty in-house accounting expenditure and the cost associated with the hiring process.
It adds intrinsic value to business owners that goes beyond debits and credits by:
- Improving focus on scaling business
- Providing a team of skilled knowledgeable professionals who can be relied upon
- Reducing lags and frauds
- Real-time reports for early detection of errors
● Assessing and recommending growth strategies
- Enhancing data security
- Timely paying to the staff
- Allowing staffing flexibility
- Increasing confidence in figures for decision-making
- Handling of compliance and financial audits
- Preparing financial statements and reports with a breakdown and analysis of the company’s financial health
Outsourcing parts or all of your accounts and finance department is becoming increasingly popular. It has become a popular choice for businesses willing to expand quickly, manage employee absenteeism, or procure specific expertise. Over the years outsourced accounting’s value and outcomes have consistently turned out beneficial for businesses.
