Enviro Solutions - Outgrowing the garage
When a new business is booming, it can be tempting to take a gamble and go all in. For Zac Puddick of...
Ever felt you spend more time working in your business than on your business?
Sick of the never ending cycle of paying bills, managing a payroll, preparing GST etc?
Not getting the management information you want and need to run your business?
Feel that you could gain advantages from new technology but not sure how?
Baker Tilly Staples Rodway Auckland offers Baker Tilly Staples Rodway Outsourcing (BTSRO) which effectively takes over your back office accounting and finance function. We manage the delivery of the required outputs whilst providing you with timely and useful information so that you can concentrate on running your business.
The BTSRO approach is to bring the skills, capabilities and technologies which have long been the sole domain of larger businesses and make them accessible to other New Zealand businesses.
Our outsourcing service offering ensures that you have access to the most up to date technology, systems and processes. We put in place the capability to assess the opportunities and effect internal change where desired.
Objectives of BTSRO are simple:
To ensure a smooth transition we typically “step into the shoes” of your finance and administration staff to understand how your systems and processes operate.
This gives you confidence that nothing will be lost on the transition and minimises the immediate impact of the change to the business.
When we have identified the monthly activities and requirements, a timetable is put in place that defines:
From this we are able to identify the improvements to systems and processes to make your business stronger and more efficient.
Accurate, timely and informative management reports to make business decisions.
No requirement to manage or train finance staff or resources allowing you to focus more of your efforts on customers, sales and other business operations.
Flexibility for the book-keeping and accounting resource to grow or contract with your business.
One responsible contact for delivery of book-keeping and financial accounting requirements thereby improving efficiency of year end process.
Ability to proactively identify, assess and deliver internal change.

Reduced risk of fraud.
In this ever changing, fast moving business environment we have identified a major transformation taking place – smart technology is enabling more efficient back office processes and reporting.
Third party infrastructure hosting and the emergence of cloud based software as a service (“SaaS”) applications are allowing the new internet based systems to break down the constrictive traditional physical walls surrounding business. This is enabling businesses to operate differently yet not all businesses have the time and resources to implement these advancements.
Small and medium sized businesses have traditionally not had the luxury of employing a payroll clerk, accounts payable clerk, accounts receivable clerk, management accountant, systems accountant and a financial controller. Often it falls to one or two people to fulfil all functions. In our experience this results in an environment where all tasks are done “ok” but the ability to be implement proactive change is not a top priority. This results in the business missing out on the benefit of a strong and contributing finance function.
With the resources and capabilities that BTSRO has available we are able to provide your business with an efficient and timely service that delivers greater value.
