Outsourced accounting is a model of providing accounting services in which a company hires a firm specialized in accounting to carry out accounting and financial activities. Much is said about outsourcing accounting after the company achieves a more complex structure and achieves growth.
However, studies show that outsourcing accounting can bring many benefits to small and medium-sized companies, including, although it requires the hiring of third parties, the reduction of costs. Outsourced accounting may be more economical than maintaining an internal accounting department, since the company does not have to bear the costs of hiring and training personnel, nor with the purchase of equipment and software, for example.
Another advantage is access to specialized professionals, since outsourced accounting firms generally have a team of professionals who specialize in different accounting and financial areas. This allows the contracting company to have access to a high level of expertise and knowledge, which can be useful for strategic decision-making.
In addition, outsourcing accounting allows an improvement in the quality of accounting information, since outsourced accounting firms specialize in keeping accurate and up-to-date records, in addition to being always up to date with current regulations and laws.
One of the greatest benefits that outsourcing accounting brings to small businesses is the focus on the core business, as it allows company leaders to focus on their core activities, without having to worry about accounting and financial management, which is delegated to a specialist. This allows the company to dedicate more time and energy to developing and improving its product or service, seeking business growth.
Studies have shown the efficiency of outsourced accounting for small businesses, such as the “Outsourcing of Accounting Services and the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises”, published in the journal “Journal of Small Business Management”, concluded that outsourcing accounting is positively related to the financial performance of small and medium-sized companies.
Outsourced accounting is important in small and medium-sized companies because it allows them to reduce costs, focus on their core business, access specialized expertise, and improve the quality of accounting and financial information, contributing to business success.
