Why outsource your bookkeeping from Ireland?
Wondering why it makes sense to outsource bookkeeping requirements from Ireland?
Multiple reasons. Multiple benefits. Here are some:
- Savings on payroll costs: Hiring on-site, full-time employees can be an expensive undertaking. In addition to your monthly salary, you will need to pay for insurance, retirement, benefits, office facilities, and a slew of other expenses
- Reduced IT costs: No need to invest in additional IT infrastructure like computers, laptops, and software subscriptions
- Greater talent pool: You don't need to depend on local talent for high-quality bookkeeping services. You can look beyond borders. Local talent can be scarce as well as prohibitively costly
- Greater scope for business growth: Bookkeeping is the backbone of any accounting, financial, or tax system. It is the data upon which you build the entire structure of accounting. Therefore, in the absence of reliable bookkeepers, it is difficult for you to grow as an accounting firm. Outsourcing bookkeeping can unshackle you from this limitation. You can experience unprecedented business growth
What is bookkeeping and why is it essential for the entire accounting system?
Bookkeeping is an essential part of accounting. Bookkeeping gives accountants and financial analysts data to analyze, predict, and strategize. It is like fuel. Without the fuel of data, the engine of the financial side of a business cannot move.
Bookkeeping means recording every transaction a business does, from offering a visiting customer a cup of tea to purchasing a new office building. If something comes in or if something goes out, and if it can be represented with a corresponding amount of cash, it goes into the books.
Bookkeepers are responsible for adding accurate information and keeping the financial records up-to-date through accounting books. Primarily, there are three responsibilities of a bookkeeper
- Recording financial transactions and balancing books
- Reconciling bank statements with the data in the books
- Preparing monthly reports of the overall financial situation within the organization
Here is a small story on how a small chartered accountant firm in Ireland grew into a bigger agency when it decided to outsource its bookkeeping needs
Oscar Doyle was running a small boutique chartered accountant firm in the laid-back and beautiful city of Limerick. For a few years he had been dreaming of moving to Dublin and taking on some big projects but for that he needed to improve his cash flow by getting some good accounts in Limerick itself. His current bookkeepers were already overworked and it was not humanly possible for him or his team to take up new clients. He had the expertise. He knew if he could get some help with bookkeeping, he could use his accounting skills and the skills of a few of his colleagues to handle at least 5 more clients, and that would give him enough leeway to take off and open a bigger office in Dublin. But bookkeeping takes time. Lots of data needs to be handled on an ongoing basis. This data must be retrieved from multiple sources, sometimes even paper documents, and then entered into the systems with utmost care. Even a few wrong entries can cascade into a big disaster.
Then the Covid-19 pandemic broke out. Out of three bookkeepers, one got infected and needed to stay at home. As a precaution, lots of offices in the area were shut down. Even his clients said that for some days, they were going to take a reprieve.
There was no way out during the pandemic. The entire world, including the whole of Ireland, seemed like thrown into a chaotic state of being, and nothing much could be done.
As the pandemic abated and people began to get vaccinated, accounting work again began to come. But his bookkeepers wanted to work from home, just to be on the safer side.
To his pleasant surprise, he observed that allowing his bookkeepers to stay at home didn't affect his business much, and in fact, the level of accuracy and efficiency improved. He decided to experiment. Although the other staff including accountants, tax experts, and the general administrative staff re-joined the office, he allowed his bookkeepers to work from home. It took him and his colleagues a few days to establish a system to transfer the raw data to the bookkeepers but once the process got streamlined, it proved to be better than them working at the office.
He no longer needed office space for the bookkeepers. The furniture was required for bookkeeping purposes. No additional computers and laptops were needed. Power was saved. Maintenance costs came down. Efficiency on the other hand improved.
"If my employees can work from home within Limerick, why not from another part of the world?" Oscar thought one day. "I can hire at least five more bookkeepers without increasing my costs much."
This is when he started considering outsourcing his bookkeeping services, outside of Ireland. He knew that there were many offshore companies in India. He decided to do some research.
While trying to find reliable and dependable bookkeeping services in India to whom he could outsource from Ireland, he came across the Aone Outsourcing Solutions website. He was thrilled to know that the company was already working with multiple accounting firms from Ireland.
Although he was quite excited, he wanted to exercise caution. His mind was already buzzing with plans to move to Dublin and become a big accounting firm, but he decided to take things slow, at least in the beginning. He submitted the contact form on the Aone Outsourcing Solutions website with his requirement for one bookkeeper and waited with bated breath.
The reply came within a couple of hours. A Zoom meeting was fixed. A friendly person from Aone Outsourcing Solutions explained the entire process. It was better than the process he had established for his current bookkeepers who were working from home. To his great excitement, he came to know that he could start outsourcing his bookkeeping services within a few hours. All he needed to do was, establish a system to quickly upload or redirect scanned and digital documents to one of the cloud services recommended by Aone Outsourcing Solutions (Google Drive), and the bookkeeping data would start appearing in his systems in no time.
Initially, he decided to forward the raw data from a client who wasn't particular about the deadlines and there was some scope for troubleshooting in case things went southward. They didn't. As soon as he uploaded the raw data, the bookkeeper working at Aone Outsourcing Solutions updated the accounts books within a couple of hours. For him, it was like magic. He could literally see his dream of opening a bigger accounting firm in Dublin unfolding right in front of him.
That was 8 months ago. Within these 8 months, he has been able to take on 6 new clients in Limerick, increasing his turnover 4X. Although he hasn't fired his existing bookkeepers, and they're still working from their homes, 90% of bookkeeping work now comes through Aone Outsourcing Solutions for him. He has made a few visits to Dublin. He has finalised the office space. He has also made the first payment. There are 12 clients in Dublin who have shown interest in his accounting services. He is sure that as soon as he moves in, he will be spending busy months settling in and taking care of his new clients. He never hesitates to say that his dream has come true with the help of Aone Outsourcing Solutions.
