Outsourced Accounting to Support Your Company
What is outsourced accounting? Outsourced Accounting provides a full-scaled accounting department for small businesses which includes a Staff Accountant, Accounting Manager, Controller and CFO. The accounting team handles the day-to-day transactions, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, management financial reporting and other services that are critical to the success of the business. Our outsourced accounting services are different from a traditional bookkeeping service or CPA firm.
Why Do Companies Outsource Their Accounting?
There are many reasons why companies choose to outsource. Some of these reasons include avoiding the risk of employee turnover and costs of hiring more employees, and to gain access to outside expertise that they could not afford otherwise. Companies who choose to outsource are focused on improving the overall performance of the growing business by looking at the financial data and financial reports of how the business is actually performing.
At TGG outsource accounting company, we work alongside companies to understand their goals so their assigned outsourced team can provide a tailored accounting solution.

Outsourced Accounting Teams – Why They Work
For Companies with Internal Accounting Staff
An outsourced accounting team does not have to be a replacement for your internal team. Many businesses are concerned that they already have a bookkeeper or a small accounting team and that this may prohibit a relationship with an outsourced accounting firm. Quite the contrary, we enjoy the partnership with your internal people and aim to support them through teamwork and excellence in financial management.
For Companies Looking to Outsource Their Entire Accounting Department
The TGG Way™ provides a team of 4 experienced financial professionals to every client. With this team we can be your entire accounting team. The TGG teams are comprised of a CFO, Controller, Accounting Manager and Staff Accountant. Weekly reports close the loop with stakeholders allowing for full financial transparency.

FAQ SECTION:
How much does outsourced accounting cost?
Your accounting department should cost between 1-3% of your top-line revenue. The amount you spend is dependent on your needs, wants and goals for the business as there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At TGG, we morph our plan to fit our clients’ budgets and work together to create a project plan so accounting work is planned at the appropriate levels each month.
What kind of financial services can be outsourced?
Anything and everything related to accounting and finance. This includes anything from Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) to bookkeeping, CFO services, month-end close reconciliations, etc. It also depends on what role(s) you are looking to fill as different accounting tasks are handled by a Bookkeeper, Staff Accountant, Accounting Manager, Controller or CFO.
Why Outsourced Services instead of Hiring an Employee?
Cost efficiency first and foremost. With one employee, that person is going to have to work up or work down a level depending on the accounting task. With an outsourced team, the work is done at the appropriate levels so you don’t have to worry about incurring high costs. For example, a Controller who is also doing AR and AP which should be done at the Staff Accountant level. At TGG, our team of four Accountants (Staff Accountant, Accounting Manager, Controller, and CFO) provides a multitude of accounting knowledge and expertise at every level. A team of outsourced accounting professionals also ensures continuity in the event of employee turnover since there are already systems and processes in-place to mitigate that risk to your business.
How Can You Manage the Books if You Aren’t in My Office?
There has been a shift to remote work and as a result, there is no longer a need to have someone physically in an office environment to get the job done. QuickBooks Online has become more popular than the QuickBooks Desktop version so the books can be accessed anytime and from anywhere. This is true for other accounting systems that have moved towards cloud-based hosting platforms as well. At TGG, we work with your internal accounting team to establish the appropriate access, processes and procedures so nothing slips through the cracks.
Will I Give Up Control of the Books if I Hire an Accounting Team?
Only if you want to give up control. TGG works well with businesses that have existing internal accounting staff who like to maintain a level of control as well as those that have no internal accounting staff and prefer to be completely hands-off. Either way, you can be confident that our team will deliver timely and accurate financial information.
