Business Services · Software for accounting outsourcing firms

Every client’s bills, bank lines and close, in one queue.

An accounting outsourcing firm runs the finance back office for other companies. The software holds each client’s engagement letter, document intake, coding queues, reviewer sign-off and close checklist, and hours and invoices follow the same engagement record, so delivery and billing agree.

At a glance

Your staff post purchase ledger entries, match bank lines and close months for many clients at once. Each client keeps its own chart of accounts, approval limits and posting cut-off date. Work arrives as scanned bills, statement files and email. Nothing is uniform. A processor who switches client twenty times a day needs each client’s rules open beside the bill.

Accounting outsourcing software starts with the engagement. It lists the services in the engagement letter, the volumes you priced and the dates you promised, then follows every document through intake, coding, review and posting. Billing comes last. It is drawn from the same record, never from guessed hours.

How the work runs today

A new client is onboarded with an engagement letter, a chart of accounts and a mapping to your own coding rules. Each morning the team lead sees what arrived overnight for every client: supplier bills, expense claims, bank statements and payroll inputs. Bills are read, coded and queued. A reviewer checks each one against the supplier master. Queries to the client controller are logged against the bill and never asked twice.

Near month end the close checklist for each client fills up. It names who owns the bank reconciliation, the accruals, the prepayment release, the intercompany entries and the reporting pack, along with the date each step must be finished. A late client is visible by name. Nobody has to guess. Hours are logged by client and by task, and the monthly fee is raised from the agreed scope plus any extra work.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for accounting outsourcing firms without a proper system.

Client rules live in people’s heads

One client wants bills coded by cost centre and another by project, and approval limits and cut-off days differ again. When the usual processor is away, the rules go with them.

Documents arrive from every direction

Supplier bills reach the firm by email, upload and courier, and nobody can list which are still waiting to be posted. A client asks where its invoice went, and the answer takes an hour across three inboxes and a shared folder.

Review sits outside the work

A senior accountant checks postings in a spreadsheet of samples. Errors are fixed but never counted against the processor or the client, and the same miscoding returns every month. Nothing improves.

Fixed fees hide the real hours

A client is priced per month, yet volumes rise and extra requests such as year-end schedules pile up, while time is logged late and unprofitable engagements stay hidden.

Month end collides across clients

Twenty closes fall within the same week. Waiting on one client’s bank statements holds up a team that could be finishing another client’s accruals, because each checklist lives in its own file.

What the software does

What we would build for accounting outsourcing firms.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Engagement and scope register

Hold each client’s service list, volumes priced, cut-off dates, chart of accounts mapping and named contacts, so a processor opens the rules before touching the first bill.

Document intake and coding queue

Collect supplier bills, expense claims and statements from email and upload, read the fields, and queue each for coding with the client’s own account and cost centre rules attached.

Maker and checker review

A reviewer approves postings before they reach the ledger, and errors are tagged by type, processor and client. Training follows the real mistakes, such as a wrong expense account.

Bank and ledger reconciliation

Match statement lines to ledger entries per client bank account, list unmatched items with their age, and send the open list to the client controller each week.

Month-end close tracker

Give each client a checklist of accruals, reconciliations, prepayment release, intercompany entries and reporting pack, with an owner and due date on every line. Late steps are flagged.

Client query log

Record every question raised to a client against the bill or bank line it concerns, with the reply and who answered, so a query is never repeated.

Time, utilisation and fee billing

Log hours by client and task, compare them with the scope priced, and raise the monthly fee plus extra work as tax invoices. Write-offs are visible by engagement.

Common questions

Questions accounting outsourcing firms ask before they call.

Can each client have its own coding rules?

Yes. Account mappings, cost centre or project coding, approval limits and cut-off dates are held per client, and a processor sees that client’s rules at the top of every queue.

Is this an accounting ledger?

No. It runs the outsourced work around the ledger. Postings still go into the client’s own accounting package, or yours, and the first workshop settles which package is in use and what data is sent to it.

Can pricing differ by client?

Yes. A fixed monthly fee, a per-document rate or an hourly rate can sit on one engagement, with extras listed on the invoice. Rate cards are keyed in together before the first live month.

What does it cost to start?

No figure is published. Headcount, the client list you bring over and the services in scope all shape the quote, and you watch a working demo first, then receive the offer on paper.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
