Either it is a small business or a large business, accounting and bookkeeping are the two tasks which happen in every organization no matter what they are. The standard solution a company finds is to either set up an in-house to perform the whole accounting task or they can outsource the accounting work which can be proven beneficial with better results.

In Outsourcing, it is very important to maintain a relationship with your vendor in terms of several responsibilities that your vendor shall carry out and possibilities on how to grow your accounting practice. It is not necessary to mention that accounting outsourcing brings a lot on the table but to fetch the desired result from your outsourcing firms is also a strategy. Since your firm has already taken the decision to outsource, and post-transition, your vendor would have settled down with the acclimatization of your work/culture.

In our decade of robust UK accounting outsourcing experience, what we have realized is, being in constant touch with your vendor brings out the best potential from the outsourcing relationship with your vendor.

You can choose to develop a program with your vendor in terms of connecting to monitor the progress/issues that helps in the longer run.

Check out the three strategy calls which you can take to run your accounting work smoothly:

1. Weekly Calls with Point of Contact – To monitor the daily issues, challenges, rectification and progress of the week. 
2. Monthly Call with the Team Lead/Manager – To understand the overall progress of the outsourcing strategy from the eagle’s eye view. 
3. Quarterly Call with CEO/Senior Management – In this layer of call, the transformation of the overall outsourcing program can be discussed.

It is futile to mention, that after having developed a program with your vendor, it is highly likely that you may have the perception of your vendor and the team as your extended office, given the fact that your vendor’s team liaise smoothly with your team.
