Accounting Staff Outsourcing Service

Accounting staff outsourcing places a named, experienced accountant into your business under a service contract rather than an employment contract. Á Châu supplies chief accountants, tax accountants, general accountants and internal accountants, supervises their work, and replaces them at no notice cost if the fit is wrong or the person becomes unavailable.

The difference between this service and full outsourcing is who holds the work. Under staff outsourcing, the accountant sits inside your process, uses your software, follows your approval chain and reports to your management, exactly as an employee would; what changes is that the recruitment, the payroll administration, the technical supervision and the continuity risk sit with Á Châu. That suits a company that wants control of its own accounting function but does not want to carry the cost and the fragility of a single in-house hire. It also suits a company in transition — while a chief accountant is being recruited, during a maternity leave, through a system migration, or across the three months around year-end finalisation when the workload doubles and then falls away again.

Roles

Which accounting roles can be outsourced?

Method

How the placement works

1. Requirement definition. We agree the role, the scope of work, the software in use, the reporting line and the time commitment.
2. Candidate selection. Á Châu proposes personnel matching the required level and industry experience; you interview and approve.
3. Onboarding. The accountant is briefed on your chart of accounts, approval limits and reporting calendar before the first working day.
4. Supervision. A senior reviewer at Á Châu checks the output on a defined cycle, so the work is never dependent on one person’s judgement alone.
5. Continuity. If the person leaves or is unavailable, Á Châu supplies a replacement and transfers the working files, with no recruitment gap for you.

Comparison

How does this compare with hiring in house?

• Cost. You pay for the agreed workload rather than a full-time salary plus statutory insurance, bonus and severance provisions.
• Speed. A placement typically starts within days, against several weeks for a recruitment cycle.
• Continuity. Resignation risk transfers to Á Châu, which holds the replacement obligation.
• Supervision. The work is reviewed by a second, more senior accountant, which a single in-house hire cannot provide.
• Flexibility. The time commitment can be increased at year end and reduced afterwards without a headcount decision.

Fees

How is the fee calculated?

The fee is set by the level of the role, the experience required and the agreed time commitment, and is quoted in writing before the engagement begins. Á Châu surveys the actual workload first, so the quotation reflects the number of transactions and the reporting obligations rather than a generic rate card. There are no recruitment fees and no hidden charges.
