Steps to Implementing Outsourced Accounting in Private Equity
Systemize Your Portfolio Company's Accounting Process
Hire a reputable business process outsourcing company to make process systemization a byproduct of their onboarding process – not a focus of yours. Onboarding that leaves tackles weak spots and disparate processes will ensure silos give way to a well-documented, universal set of desktop procedures.
Right-size Your Portfolio Company's Accounting Team
Make the most of your portfolio company's in-house talent by empowering their ownership of value-driven accounting tasks. If you have rework that's necessary but not business-critical, let skilled offshore talent take it on.
Get Your Reporting Back on Track
Choose a virtual accounting provider that codifies KPIs into the initial service level agreement that delivers on-time, accurate reporting is a matter of contractual obligation. One provider means one deliverable, so you can deploy this play in multiple portfolio companies.
Work Within Your Private Equity Firm's Tech Stack
Stop fighting with your portfolio company's technology by bringing in a tech-agnostic business process outsourcing company. Providers that can work within your portfolio's existing technology can meet you where you already are, or help you update to new technology when you're ready.
