Background
A successful and profitable manufacturing client with approximately 35 staff lost its bookkeeper to emigration. This potentially deprived the company of much of the vital management information that it relies on – as well as causing an immediate bottleneck in the accounts function.
Our response
We were already providing full payroll facilities through our wages bureau, so it seemed logical to undertake additional assignments for the client.
But rather than providing the service from our offices, we offered the client the additional access to expertise of having a member of our staff on their site for two days a week.
The outcome
In addition to the payroll and annual accounts, we now provide a full bookkeeping, VAT and management accounts facility. This works very well for the client and saves them the responsibility that goes with hiring direct staff such as holiday pay, redundancy entitlements etc.
It also means that they have regular access to an accountancy professional who can provide instant, real-time answers to any queries that may arise.
