Every time we speak to a UK accounting firm about outsourcing…
the same facial expressions appear before the same questions arrive.
“But what about data security?”
“Our clients won’t like it.”
“We’ll do it later when things get busy.”
“We’re not big enough yet.”
And our personal favourite:
“We tried it once. It didn’t work.”
Fair enough.

Bad systems.
Bad processes.
Bad onboarding.

This carousel breaks down a few myths we still hear constantly in UK accounting and the truths most people realise a little too late.
One of these slides will probably hit home harder than expected.
