The traditional growth model for a business’ in-house finance team has been:
Employ an in-house bookkeeper
They become overloaded, so the business employs another bookkeeper
They become overloaded, so another bookkeeper is recruited.
End of month processing becomes too much, so more people are employed.
This usually leads to some common problems for business:
Shortcuts – As the in-house bookkeepers become too busy, key tasks are skipped resulting in missed rebates, missed deadlines, reduced accuracy of financial information
Wasted time – The systems and processes your team used 5 years ago may now be out dated, but perhaps there has been a reluctance to ‘change’? An outdated process increases your teams processing time and requires additional staffing and working hours.
Flying blind – As a business becomes larger and more complex, your time becomes restricted and blind-spots can develop. A standard solution is to hire an expensive business manager or CFO to manage this on your behalf.
Segregation of duties – The reliance on a small team often leads to a single person handling a process from end to end, increasing the risk of mistakes and fraud.
Unscaleable – A business reliant on a small team of bookkeepers is unable to scale and grow. They may be unable to handle that busy time of year or they drain valuable time and resources to hire and train additional staff when required.
