Safe and effective outsourcing
What challenges does accounting outsourcing meet?
With 30 years of experience in a wide range of industries and a team of over 300 professionals who are constantly upgrading their skills, we are able to adapt to the dynamic changes in the legal and business environment and ensure that tax settlements, returns and reports are fully compliant with the latest regulations. Our state-of-the-art IT tools maximise data security and the operational efficiency of supported processes. In turn, our transparency, flexibility and quality of service – described by our clients as ‘master class’ – give you peace of mind and allow you to focus on your core business. By choosing us, you stand to gain not only certainty in your tax and accounting settlements and our expertise, but also time – one of your most valuable and non-renewable resources.
What are the benefits of outsourcing compared to maintaining in-house accounting?
Accounting outsourcing is designed for entrepreneurs who want to focus on their core business and build their competitive advantage there, without worrying about the company’s accounting and tax matters. The service mitigates the risks associated with tax settlements, bookkeeping and reporting. Equally importantly, it gives you access to experienced professionals without the burden of building and developing your own team. In addition, by using Grant Thornton’s accounting outsourcing service, you will not need to invest in accounting systems and their maintenance or document archiving.

Accounting and finance outsourcing FAQ
-
How do you price the accounting and finance outsourcing service?
We calculate the price quote for each client individually, after we understand their expectations, including the scope of services. We take into account the nature of the business, company size and profile, as this will affect the complexity of the tax and accounting tasks in the particular company, as well as other formal and legal requirements involved. The process is efficient and transparent – you can expect to receive a preliminary quotation within days of your enquiry.
-
How much time do you need to take over the accounting function?
Normally the process takes between one and three months, although it can vary in either direction. It all depends on individual circumstances. Prior to commencing the service, we carry out implementation work to gather the necessary information about the client’s business. We analyse the existing accounting records and policies and agree the terms of cooperation. The next step is to decide on the team of people who will be responsible for implementation and ongoing service, and to define the implementation schedule and how information, data and necessary documents will be provided to us. We then take over the documentation, analyse the opening balance of the books as at the beginning of the cooperation, and prepare our accounting system (Asseco Softlab ERP) to provide the service. If we agree to work with the client’s accounting system, the client trains us on how to use the system (e.g. SAP, Navision, Symfonia, Enova). The service begins once all the formalities have been completed: verification of AML compliance and independence of the service (a legal obligation of professional services firms) and signing of the contract.
-
What IT tools do you use to provide accounting services?
In our work we use advanced IT solutions, such as Softlab (accounting system), GT Harmony (communication and document exchange platform) and Workflow (electronic document workflow system), which at the same time ensure maximum system and data security. We have experience in system integration (e.g. with Power BI or clients’ billing systems), and we offer our clients innovative working tools (e.g. e-Sprawozdania finansowe GT). Our operational efficiency is driven by our internal IT and Excellence Centre teams.
-
Can you provide the service using the client’s own accounting system?
Yes, we also provide our services with our clients’ accounting systems, e.g. SAP, Navision, Symfonia or Enova. We understand that each client has individual needs and preferences, so we offer flexibility in the choice of software. In this case, our team will be trained by the client to operate their system to ensure the quality and efficiency of our services.
-
Will my service team be permanent?
At Grant Thornton Polska, we are committed to building lasting relationships with our clients. That is why we do our best to ensure that the team working with a particular client remains the same, giving them a good insight into the client’s specifics and needs. Our experience shows that such continuity promotes a better understanding of the client’s business and a more effective service. At the same time, we are aware that it is not always possible for the team to remain the same. When it becomes necessary to make some changes, we always make sure that new team members are carefully briefed and trained internally. In this way, we ensure that the change has the least possible impact on our clients and does not affect the quality of our service.
-
How do you protect our data?
Data security is a priority for us. We use advanced IT solutions, such as GT Harmony (communication and document exchange platform) and Workflow (electronic document workflow system), which guarantee maximum system and data security. In addition, our IT and Excellence Centre teams oversee operational security, and we conduct regular reviews and internal audits to ensure we maintain the highest standards of security.
