Workflow Process

Initial consultation:

The first step is to have an initial consultation with the outsourcing provider to discuss your accounting and tax needs. This may include an evaluation of your current financial processes, a discussion of your goals and objectives, and an analysis of the scope of work.

Establish communication channels and data sharing:

Once the initial consultation is complete, you will need to establish communication channels and determine how financial data will be shared between your company and the outsourcing provider. This may include setting up a secure online portal, or using email or cloud-based file sharing systems.

Data collection and organization:

The outsourcing provider will begin collecting and organizing financial data, such as invoices, receipts, bank statements, and other relevant documents. This may involve scanning and uploading paper documents, or accessing digital files directly from your accounting software.

Data entry and reconciliation:

Once the financial data is collected, the outsourcing provider will enter the data into your accounting software and reconcile any discrepancies. This may include reconciling bank statements, verifying invoices and receipts, and ensuring that all transactions are accurately recorded.

Financial reporting and analysis:

With accurate and up-to-date financial data, the outsourcing provider can generate financial reports and conduct financial analysis. This may include producing balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and other financial reports, as well as providing analysis and insights into your financial performance.

Tax preparation and filing:

The outsourcing provider will also handle tax preparation and filing, ensuring that all tax forms are completed accurately and filed on time. This may include preparing and filing federal and state income tax returns, sales tax returns, and payroll tax returns.

Ongoing support and communication:

Throughout the outsourcing process, the provider will provide ongoing support and communication, answering any questions or concerns you may have, and providing regular updates on the status of your financials.

By following these steps, outsourcing accounting and tax tasks can help to streamline your financial processes, reduce costs, and provide you with accurate and up-to-date financial data.
