Why an Outsourced Business Accountant is Less Risky

We talk a lot on this blog about the benefits of using an outsourced business accountant. None of the hassles of hiring and training. None of the overhead that comes along with in-house employees. Less risk of corporate fraud due to job dissatisfaction.

But one benefit we don’t mention quite so often is how outsourcing accounting jobs actually makes your small-to-midsize business with annual revenue greater than $1 million look more ethical and honest.

Ever since the Enron scandal, the words “in-house” and “accounting” uttered in the same breath tend to raise eyebrows. Internal audits are all well and good, but if the entire company is crooked, the audit means absolutely nothing. Granted, an external auditor should catch any foul play—but by then, it may be too late.

We’re not even remotely implying your company is like Enron. But in business (as in everything) appearances matter. You can actually improve the public perception of your company’s ethics by outsourcing accounting jobs to a reputable firm.

Of course, you’ll also get the practical benefits of having reliable bookkeepers that have gone through extensive background checks, profiles, interviews and testing to ensure they aren’t the type of people who will steal. Since AccountingDepartment.com employees work from home—and not in your office—they don’t get mired in company politics. All of these factors further reduce the risk of fraud.

Add 24/7 remote access to all your accounting files from any computer with Internet access, and an outsourced business accountant through AccountingDepartment.com becomes one of the best ways you can stay in control of your company’s financial statements and its financial future.
