Talent is getting harder to hire and retain. Outsourcing some or all of your accounting functions is a solution to your talent problems. AGH provides accounting staff at all levels, from clerks to executive level and everything in between. We can assist you in a short-term pinch or partner with you for the long-term.By outsourcing, organizations have the expertise available when it is needed in a cost-effective way. You can use more hours during one part of the month or year and fewer hours later. Outsourcing is also a good way to implement stronger internal controls by segregating conflicting financial duties.
The scenarios are endless but here are some common examples:
Our services are custom-tailored to your situation. First, we sit down with you to analyze your unique situation and needs. Next, we put together a mutually agreed upon plan. We continue to communicate throughout the duration of our service to ensure we are still meeting your needs or determine how we need to modify the plan.For example, owners ask us to analyze their processes, staff, and internal controls. After interviewing employees and observing practices and processes, we review our areas of concern or improvement with the owner, and if requested, implement the changes needed so the organization can upgrade its performance and better serve its stakeholders.
