Sound familiar?

  • You have no accounting department of your own, but you need regular accounting.
  • The owner spends time on accounting questions.
  • The accounts are kept by hand and irregularly.

What usually lies behind it

Outsourcing makes sense when you need a stable function and expertise but keeping a full department is expensive. Outsourcing has one risk: losing control. So control is built into the agreement from day one: calendar, reconciliations, reporting and escalation rules.

What you get

  • A function with a designated owner.

  • A single point of contact.

  • Clear reporting for the manager.

  • Less dependence on one in-house employee.

The cost of waiting

If nothing changes

  1. 01

    The accounting will stay irregular.

  2. 02

    The owner will keep spending time on bookkeeping.

  3. 03

    Tax issues will surface unexpectedly.

When you don't need this service

  • Your accountant is coping and needs help with some tasks. Then bookkeeping services.
  • The accounts for past periods are in disorder. Recovery comes first.

Questions

Who keeps the accounts?

EMET or a partner accounting firm. Responsibility and the order of communication are fixed in the contract.

How is outsourcing different from a one-off consultation?

It's a regular, agreed scope of work, not a one-time answer to a question.
