Common questions

Before you hire.

Will we have our own dedicated accounts person?

Yes. You hire a dedicated person who works within your team and follows your processes. We agree the role around your finance workload, systems and reporting needs.

Who controls payments and financial decisions?

Your business sets system access and approval limits. Your authorised people retain payment release and financial decisions. Your existing accountant or adviser continues to oversee tax and reporting requirements as appropriate.

Can the role include general administration?

Yes, where the workload and the person’s experience allow. Separate essential finance deadlines from general administration so both can be planned and reviewed properly.
