What problems does Initor Global help UK accountants solve
UK accountants are struggling on a number of fronts. Demand for talent is at an all-time high, not least due to the high numbers of experienced accountants leaving the industry following the Covid pandemic. Customers are increasingly price sensitive, with many new entrants to the market offering fully online services at lower rates than a traditional ‘high-street’ accountant. Advances in technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and automation require significant investment which many smaller Practices struggle to achieve.
To remain competitive, many UK accountants have decided to outsource work, securing immediate reductions in overheads, and accessing a ready-made pool of talent. Using an offshore resource frees up capacity for onshore accountants to focus on adding value to the business and the customer, understanding their needs, and delivering better outcomes in terms of quality and turnaround times for work.
Which services does Initor Global provide to UK accountants
Our customers include sole proprietors, medium sized accounting Practices and enterprise businesses. We provide all end-to-end accounting processes including bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts and company tax preparation, payroll, personal tax, and company secretarial services.
We also work with onshore accountants to onboard clients and register information with Companies House and HMRC. These tasks are usually resource intensive and deadline driven, requiring multiple contact points to resolve any issues arising. Outsourcing these asks allows the onshore team to focus on the client relationship and delivering higher margin services.
Outsourcing isn’t a one size fits all solution, we work with our customers to understand their needs, review systems and processes and offer constructive feedback on improvement. Our teams are proficient in all commercial accounting and payroll software and can be trained to use any bespoke systems used by UK accountants.
What are the main advantages to UK accountants from outsourcing
The obvious advantage is cost savings – hiring an offshore resource from Initor Global typically costs 50% less than hiring a UK resource. There are other advantages including:
-
Improved consistency and quality of work:
securing the benefits of better productivity and focus on recurring tasks
-
Access to a wide pool of talent and experience:
always available to meet peaks in demand for services and to clear backlogs of work
-
Professional expertise:
particularly where in-house skills are insufficient to meet the needs of clients
-
Staffing issues:
can be quickly resolved where accountants leave at short notice or where posts are hard to fill with onshore resources
-
Change management:
making the most of opportunities provided by cloud accounting, Artificial Intelligence, and automation
-
Risk management:
by having an outsource provider ready to step in when resources are needed most.
An overlooked advantage of outsourcing work to a territory such as India is the opportunity offered by working in different time zones. Work can be sent to the offshore supplier for completion overnight in UK time and be ready for review by a client the next day.
