There is no risk of losing control since you will be owner of the books of accounts. Appropriate clauses are mentioned in the agreement as well as non-disclosure agreement. Moreover, all your transactions will be approved and controlled only by you.

If you have appropriate staff managing and controlling accounts with ethics and quality then you may continue working with them. However, if you have only one employee managing all your accounting tasks, that is when you should consider us because whole function in the hand of one person increases risk related to internal control.

Moreover, following are the reasons for outsourcing even if your employees are able to manage work load

• Employees’ time can be best used for other activities such as dealing with sales and service issues
• Get rid of issues related to employee turnover and unplanned leaves
• Get rid of issues related to training a permanent or temporary replacement
• Reduces the risk of fraud losses and regulatory fines

We have considered appropriate measures to ensure data security, network security and workstation security. You can refer our page for security measure. Moreover, you can be assured as we are ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 compliant company.

• Restricting access to premises and systems.

• Restricting access to data backup solution.

In most cases fees is charged on hourly basis. Hourly rates depend on many factors such as type of industry, complexity involved, number of services offered simultaneously, size of the organisation etc. Based on these factors, we allocate different level of people and accordingly per hour rates are decided for services. In special cases, we charge based on the convenience of both parties.

We generally share completed work through uploading it to our SSL secured document management portal. From there you can check and download filed using your credentials. We have different credentials for different ranked client employees. For example, Director of our client ABC has different credentials and access of files then its Accountant. Thus reports which need to be shared with directors don’t go to accountants and vice versa.
