Turnkey solutions
For businesses looking to outsource their entire finance function, we can provide all four layers of the finance operation. For others, it may be more optimal to have a mix of internal and outsourced capability. We work with our clients to determine an optimal solution together and tailor our services to their needs.
For an ideal outcome, you should consider ACOTA’s turnkey solution for building and delivering your finance function. We can manage all elements including:
Resource planning and organisational design
Sourcing and selecting candidates
Establishing policies and procedures
System implementation
Recruitment and training of finance personnel
Ongoing management of entire finance function
Outsourcing
Whether you have a short-term project, temporary staffing needs or are looking to offshore positions permanently, ACOTA’s outsourcing solutions can support you through the journey with Project and Staff Outsourcing.
Project outsourcing
Clients can outsource specific projects for ACOTA to manage. For instance, during systems implementation, we can assist you with:
System selection and design
User training
Project and vendor management
Documentation
Staff outsourcing
ACOTA can assist clients seeking to complement their onshore teams with offshore resources. Through our staff outsourcing option, we can help you hire temporary or permanent staff offshore. Once onboarded, the staff would report directly and are managed by the client. ACOTA can assist you with ongoing payroll and compliance activities relating to the staff, as well as any of the following depending on your requirements:
CV sourcing
Interviews & selection
Onboarding
An outsourced role will not only provide cost-savings, but also allow clients to directly supervise external staff members as an extension of their very own team. The client retains responsibility for orientation, training and performance management.
We go beyond the day to day. Our team and other specialists who we work with, such as legal and specialist tax advisors, can assist you with valuation services, buying and selling a business, and raising debt capital.
Transaction advisory
