Amid the challenges posed by the UK Accounting Industry reforms and the pandemic, VOCS is well-equipped to support small to large-sized accounting firms, ensuring their thriving under these new conditions.
Accountants have been working tirelessly to process furlough claims and address client queries about Government-backed financial support packages, leading to concerns of burnout. In this article, we outline the key challenges faced by UK Accounting firms and present our comprehensive, scalable, and cost-effective accounting and tax offshoring solutions to address these challenges.
Problem: Disrupted Service Delivery The accounting industry faces an increasing pace of new legislation, including Brexit, MTD, FRS, AML, and GDPR, demanding more from firms. This, coupled with the emotional toll of witnessing clients' businesses suffer during the pandemic, has led to burnout and exhaustion among accountants. Additionally, the surge in client requests for assistance with virus support packages has caused delays in service delivery.
Solution: Expedite Service Delivery Management To alleviate the burden on our UK Accounting firm clients, our teams, both working from home and at our offices, have been working diligently on furlough claims processing, year-end finalization, payroll, and VAT work. We offer clients access to our advanced 'Cloud Web Portal' for real-time tracking and monitoring of jobs, ensuring quicker turnaround times and better control. Operating parallel shifts, we provide 24/7 support to UK Accounting firms during these unprecedented times.
Problem: Capacity Challenges Many accounting firms struggle to provide unlimited free advice while facing capacity constraints. The lack of available talent in these challenging times necessitates a different approach to service delivery.
Solution: ACCA Qualified Accountants Our ACCA-qualified accountants are assisting UK Accountancy practices with year-end financials and recurring regulatory obligations, such as record-keeping, quarterly VAT, and monthly payroll. By delegating these tasks to our experts, firms can focus on providing additional client advisory services, and efficiently managing their workflow.
Problem: Intensifying Cost Pressures In the wake of COVID-19, some clients face difficulties in paying fees as scheduled, while others request additional services without immediate payment capability. This raises questions for accountants about charging for work when results are uncertain.
Solution: Cash Flow Optimization Our cost-effective accountants, equipped with the relevant skills, save UK Accounting firms approximately 30% - 40% of their actual cost. This efficient solution helps firms optimize their cash flow immediately and positions them for long-term financial and strategic advantages.
Problem: Complex & Increasing Client’s Needs Accountants are overwhelmed, supporting clients through financial downturns while managing year-end financials and compliance work. The surge in demand for advice on crucial topics makes it challenging to provide personalized services to every client.
Solution: Better Client Value Proposition Our productive UK accounting team reduces the financial statement preparation workload, enabling firms to conduct one-on-one meetings with clients and deliver more immediate and progressive value propositions. Providing invaluable support during this period will undoubtedly lead to more business for accountants once economic stability is restored.
