Client Advantages

Numerous advantages to clients - Accounting Outsourcing

  • Indian Companies

    • Specialised knowledge
    • Continuity
    • Transfer of Best Practices
    • Obviate the need to hire long-term staff for short-term or seasonal needs
    • Easier way to cope with seasonal peak loads and/or backlogs
    • Arrangement Flexible/Terminable. No long-term commitment
    • Better correlation between cost and benefit
    • No hidden costs
    • Administratively simple. Contractual arrangement. Employee relationships, on the other hand, bring several industrial regulations into play

  • All advantages as in case of Domestic Companies. Additionally; outsourcing will be significantly cheaper in case of foreign companies. Besides, in view of their lack of familiarity with local conditions; entrusting work to a professional accountancy firm provides greater assurance vis-à-vis entrusting it to an individual employee. Employee turnover creates loss of continuity and, more importantly, loss of accountability. Regulatory risks are better managed.
