Firms Thrive With Cost Reductions Within One Quarter Via BOSS Accounting Outsourcing

Discussions among accountants regarding technological advancements often lead to the concern of potential displacement. However, many firms can take solace in the availability of alternative solutions both overseas and domestically.

One particularly effective strategy for alleviating the impending IT challenges faced by numerous practices is leveraging accounting outsourcing. A significant number of Australian firms—ranging from large organisations to medium-sized enterprises and smaller practices—are reaping the benefits of delegating their compliance work to offshore partners. This approach not only mitigates the need for additional hiring but also alleviates the complexities associated with maintaining a domestic workforce. Consequently, several BOSS clients have reported increased profitability within subsequent financial quarters as a result of this strategic shift.

An additional advantage of outsourcing compliance work overseas is that firms can allocate more time to providing supplementary services to both existing and prospective clients. By offering strategic business development advice, accounting firms have the opportunity not only to enhance their revenue through these ancillary services but also to reduce costs associated with compliance tasks.

Outsourcing accounting functions presents a vital opportunity for firms seeking to enhance their services. According to Mr. Court, Client Relationship and Marketing Manager at BOSS, “This illustrates how accounting practices can leverage new services for competitive advantage, rather than resist the inevitable evolution of the industry. Consider historical examples such as the music sector’s transformation with iTunes and Spotify, or Blockbuster’s missed opportunities in the face of Netflix’s potential growth. Similarly, traditional bookstores could have dominated the market had they recognized Amazon’s vision early on.

It’s important to clarify that this approach does not entail replacing in-house staff with overseas employees; instead, it focuses on utilising outsourcing resources for fundamental compliance tasks while retaining or even expanding Australian teams to engage in more strategic business development activities for clients. This strategy not only enhances service offerings for existing clients but also presents a compelling proposition for prospects.”

Clients who engage in accounting outsourcing with BOSS can expect to have their virtual accountant operational within one week. They benefit from the elimination of costs related to employee leave, including annual and sick leave, and are afforded flexibility with a no-questions-asked contract that requires only one month’s notice to end.
