Since its founding in 2004, BOSS has had a few different accounting packages on offer however they’ve always strived to improve by creating an environment of excellence within the outsourced accounting industry. And it’s this excellence that led to the outcome of the different packages they offer today. The Freedom Service and the Exclusive Dedicated Service both designed to appeal to the variety of accounting practices in Australia. It is with these two major services that has made BOSS a well-known and respected outsource accounting firm serving the whole of Australia for many years.
Both services offer fully trained outsourced accountants (and bookkeepers). All accountants go through a one month initial training followed by ongoing Australian taxation training in order they be kept up to date with all of the constant tax changes. All of the training is done by BOSS which means Australian accounting firm clients never need to train any of their outsourced staff (aside from sharing their company’s procedures for accountants to follow).
Both the Exclusive Dedicated Service and the Freedom Service (both services offer part-time and full-time options) provide the same accountant for all of the client’s jobs so outsourced staff get to know the client’s procedures and in time, work gets done faster as the accountants become familiar with the way client’s like things done. All services share a no hidden fees policy, there are no joining fees and clients have direct access to their virtual accountants via Skype or email and BOSS encourages communication to make sure everything runs smoothly. The Freedom Service with a minimum of fifty hours of work per month (clients can hand more work if they choose) has no annual leave or sick leave (or any leave) costs for Australian accounting firms. All leave costs are handled by BOSS and when an accountant is on annual leave BOSS provides a replacement accountant for the time their accountant is away. The same service also has the added benefit of giving fixed-fees for all jobs. This makes budgeting a breeze for firms as they know how much a job is going to cost them before the work begins and all costs are agreed upon before starting the work as well. The Dedicated Service allows clients to choose their own accountant from a list of available candidates.
BOSS’ sales and support manager says “We’ve found that due to a difference in clients’ firms, whether it be size, management or structure, the two main services that BOSS offers covers the needs of these differences. Some firms prefer to take on a Freedom Service accountant or bookkeeper and reap the fixed-fee benefit, while others like to choose their own accountant and know they have outsourced staff performing exactly the same as their in-house staff performs. Every firm is different but we can meet their needs.”
