What is accounting outsourcing?
When you outsource your accounting, your bookkeeping and reporting obligations are handled by external professionals – in our case, the Grant Thornton team.

What are the benefits of outsourcing accounting?
The main benefits of outsourcing accounting are to increase the efficiency of accounting processes and to ensure the accuracy of accounting records. You also gain confidence in the accuracy of your tax calculations and the timeliness of your tax returns. Equally importantly, you gain 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.
