THE RIGHT PEOPLE & SKILLS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Get support for your finance team today

When you’re running your business cost-effectively, there may be times when your own people are at capacity, or you have a special project that requires a different set of skills. We can provide temporary staffing solutions, with expertise in the audit of financial services, to satisfy your needs and keep driving your success.

We can transfer our highly capable personnel for long or short-term staff secondments, to provide rapid response support, create cross-functional teams, fill gaps in the employment life cycle and accommodate peak workloads or 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 IN THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

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 in areas like the audit of financial services and other critical sectors and skillsets like:

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.

I have been a personal tax client of AAB for a number of years and in that time they have guided me through the tax return process and provided me with specialist advice relating to my non-resident tax position.
Peter Williams
It is obvious that all members work well as a team, they are passionate and really enjoy their work. The advice I have received has been holistic, sound and proactive in nature, and the technicalities are explained clearly.
Stephen Bonsor, The Dental Practice
People do business with people and AAB’s people are friendly, helpful and professional. The charities team have been tremendously supportive and has continued to give us guidance and advice that far surpasses any contractual requirement.
Thane Lawrie, SCARF

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, as well as 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.

SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTATION

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

Introducing 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.

THERE’S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE

The benefit of the Strategic Finance Solutions team providing you with the secondment or project support you require is that this is a dedicated team with the exact experience you need. There is no need to train these individuals or wait for long recruitment lead times. They can hit the ground running and help ensure your finance team operates smoothly and efficiently while introducing best practices from across your industry.
