THE RIGHT PEOPLE & SKILLS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Often when running a business, new opportunities or challenges arise that stretch the capacity or skill sets of your existing team. We can provide interim staffing support to meet your needs and ensure your business keeps growing and succeeding.

We can provide you with people with the level of experience you need for long or short term staff secondments whether this is at the senior finance level or data entry level. You will receive support when you need it from a cross-functional team, that can fill gaps in the employment life-cycle and accommodate peak workloads or new projects.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Access to high-calibre accounting and tax staff
  • The specific expertise you require
  • Strengthening your in-house team’s skills
  • Flexibility and continuity of quality support
  • Integrated multi-disciplined service delivery
  • The right resource at the right time and place

A WIDE RANGE OF KNOWLEDGE

You may need people with a range of skills or a particular specialisation; we can almost certainly deliver. Our experienced and qualified individuals who are available for secondment or project support are drawn from across AAB, meaning an extensive knowledge of sectors and skillsets such as:

  • Financial Directors and Controllers
  • Management accountants
  • Accounts payable
  • Payroll
  • Forensic accountants
  • Project management
  • Systems implementation

We can provide you with the individuals you need, with no long lead time or fees for recruitment with a flexible approach that is scalable as projects scale up or change.

A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS

All our people are quick to assimilate and adapt to evolving situations; that’s one of the qualities that’s brought them to AAB. When they second to you, they’ll soon expand their knowledge of your company, your challenges and objectives and your people’s roles and responsibilities.

Naturally you’ll have your own way of working – just as we do. Our people are adaptable and will quickly adopt your methods, whilst sharing some of the best practices they’ve developed with us. So as well as fulfilling a need, you also benefit from a fresh point of view and some ideas which you might like enough to adopt as your own.

Along with the normal finance team tasks the Strategic Finance Solutions have dedicated resources specialising in systems implementation. Whether you are looking to implement new accounting software (e.g. XERO, Quickbooks, SAGE etc.) or add on software (e.g. Dext, Fathom, ApprovalMax etc.) or specialist software for your organisation allow our specialists ensure a smooth implementation.

Implementing new software is a daunting task and often stretches existing finance teams to the max, our finance systems specialists have experience implementing a wide range of services across company sizes and can ensure your implementation does exactly what you need, avoids the common pitfalls, and is completed on time.
