Businesses replacing fragmented accounting support with one defined process
Companies seeking recurring accounting without additional internal headcount
What SBS can handle under the agreed scope
Defined recurring accounting responsibilities
Document and bank-data handover workflow
Reconciliations and periodic reporting under the agreed scope
Scalable scope as transaction activity changes

Questions specific to this requirement
What is the difference between outsourced accounting and hiring an accountant?
With outsourcing, SBS performs agreed accounting functions as an external service rather than the company employing a full-time staff member for those tasks.
Can the scope increase later?
Yes. A recurring engagement can be reviewed when transaction volume, entities, accounts or reporting requirements change.
Will SBS take over incomplete records?
If the opening records are incomplete, SBS first needs to assess what catch-up or reconciliation work is required before normal recurring processing begins.
