Accounting outsourcing - what is it?

The services that provide such firms, limited only by your financial capabilities. Thus, the company can develop your accounting policies, draw up a balance sheet, arrange bank documents or completely take over the entire accounting.

Article 6 of Federal Law 21.11.1996 № 129 - Federal Law (Ed. from 03.11.2006) "On Accounting" reads as follows:

The responsibility for organizing the accounting organizations, law enforcement in carrying out business transactions have the heads of organizations.

Leaders of organizations may, depending on the volume of accounting work:
a). to establish an accounting service as a structural unit, headed by a chief accountant;
b). put in state office accountant
c). transmit on a contract basis accounting centralized accounting, a specialized organization or accountant-specialist;
g). maintain accounting records personally

So, what attracts outsourcing?

First, there is a real cost savings. If you fully entrust your accounting firm third-party company, you have no need to include its accounting. Hence, no need to equip jobs, pay wages bookkeeper, to acquire special software and books, stationery. Add to all listed above accountant must continuously improve their professional level, attending various seminars and refresher courses, and this entails additional costs.

In so doing, are also minimizing the state, which is particularly important for small businesses. Secondly, external accounting independence and objectivity. Ie independent of their employees with access to financial and economic activities of the organization, and able, in consequence, affect the welfare of business, especially in the case of dismissal and conflicts. And what little is not important, you strahuetes of labour disputes involving layoffs specialists.

Next, transmit such accounting firm can be at any stage, and in any condition. For example, if your chief accountant resigned itself to letting the balance, and the search for a new specialist you simply do not have the time, it is a good way out of the situation. Then, accounting outsourcing solves the problem of care and disease on holiday staffing accountant, and, consequently, retains full control over financial and economic activities of businesses throughout the year.

Next, the company carries out professional-stop processing of documentation specialists profile that minimizes the risk of penalties by the tax authorities.

And finally, if accounting documents stored in outsourcing companies, the tax will not check to you, and in-office outsourcing. Also I would like to note that, referring to the company-outsourcing, you get not one chief accountant and a staff of highly qualified professionals who work as a single mechanism debugged. In addition to the above, the availability of external accounting convenient to the implementation of investment projects, where an investor and manager - not the same person. In this case, easier to ensure the independence of accounting and impose controls on the "development investment".

Thus, the beneficial accounting outsourcing and those just starting their own business (no need to spend valuable time searching for an accountant, but simply refer to the company-outsourcing, which put the accounting in such a manner as required by our legislation and how it wants to see Head of the organization), and investors who are interested in independent monitoring the investment project, and those who must rebuild accounting or reduce its costs. The advantages of outsourcing accounting, as we can see a lot. But do not forget and disadvantages. The most important of which is the risk of information leakage. Therefore, many heads of organizations with distrust among the outsourcing companies.

In this regard, I would like to talk about the most important criteria that should guide the choice of outsourcing company.

Outsourcing company must guarantee the confidentiality of information, be responsible for the work done, which in turn is reflected in the contract. But should not forget the responsibility that rests squarely on the client: outsourcing company is responsible for the quality and timely implementation of the work assigned to it, for the accuracy, completeness and timely provision of background documentation responsibility rests squarely on the customer.

It is desirable that this was a legal entity. As experienced and highly qualified professionals prefer to work in organizations with the status yur.litsa. The reasons for this are several:

A). Yur.litso unlike IP (unfortunately this is the reality of our times) more often, and willingly work to declare. Accordingly, appreciating a specialist receives a guaranteed sots.paket and acceptable for themselves c / o p
B). In the eyes of customers (from nowhere this is not children - is psychology), compared with enterprise IP even sounds solid, reliable and stable.

The company must provide an integrated service. For example, accounting, legal services, software, training and recruitment. Accountant and a lawyer often work together, that is help each other in solving specific problems (for example, work with the treaties, tax disputes). Installing and upgrading accounting programs is a specialist in software.

Meanwhile, organizations, which in connection with their dynamic development and growth there is a need for staffing accountants, company-outsourcing is preparing the necessary specialist. In this case, perhaps two options: either to stop trains, prepares a specialist in relation to the specific work of the organization, either by picks, performing the role of human agency.
We practiced teaching small groups on specific issues of interest to customers.

May be considered the theme: the use spetsrezhimov, optimization of taxation. The course of training may include selected topics and not specifically related to accounting: the foundation of marketing, management, law, psychology of relationships in the team. Our experts can visit the company to train new employees on a coherent theme. Ie is produced in such a way that client, turning into one company, receives a sufficiently wide range of services.

A contingent of personnel outsourcing company to be uneven - ranging from the energetic young professionals with modern knowledge in the areas of finance, and ending with more mature but no less vigorous, professionals with extensive experience.
