Systems, compliance, policy
Draw on our experience and expertise;
The best outsourcing for SMEs offers financial management and a range of operational services. We are there when you need an experienced person to sort out the insurance; or implement a new compliance procedure; or set up overseas. If we are already providing you the basic services, we already know your business and we have the skills and experience to help in other areas.
Systems and software
We are experienced at implementing and training teams on a range of business solutions, including Xero, Dext, Soldo, Wise, Stripe, etc. We can also set up and implement simple internal systems that help you run smoothly, allowing management to focus on growth and revenue.
Policy and compliance
We can define and draft your policies with you, from company handbooks, expense claim and travel policies, IT and data security, health and safety, diversity, sustainability, etc. Any successful compliance strategy is built around culture and process. We can help you set up GDPR, ISO, carbon reduction plans, Cyber Essentials, industry specific licenses and internal policy compliance.
HR management
We can oversee all aspects of the HR function and deliver special projects. We have over 10 year’s experience managing remote workers, hybrid teams and international teams.
International expansion
Draw on our experience managing international subsidiaries, outsourcing, overseas staff, payroll, international banking and reporting. We have set up and managed companies and teams in the US, UK, China, India, and the EU.
We often start our journey with a new client by overseeing a Xero implementation. But there are a host of other solutions available too and we monitor the technology market, doing our own independent research. We track the features and pricing of the leading software solution providers. We also regularly review their roadmaps. We have extensive experience in implementations and integrations but we do not partner with any software providers, preferring to maintain our independence.
Implementing and maintaining compliance with different regulatory and industrial standards is always about culture and internal communication. An asset register is no use if it is half empty. An incident reports is useless if nobody maintains it. There is non point in creating an access log if it is not updated regularly.
Creating the right culture for meeting the highest compliance standards can take time and requires patient communication, often on a one-to-one basis. It is always better when staff and managers buy into the benefits, rather than having a new set of burdens imposed on them without supporting communication.
It often takes time to move people from a more relaxed environment to a compliant one and different people move at different speeds and respond to different incentives.
Good HR management comes from clear communication, clear, simple policies and energy investment from management. Even the smallest companies can allow themselves to fall behind in their support for staff as they grow beyond the founders.
Getting a company handbook, an expenses policy and a procurement policy in place before expanding can make all the difference. But taking something off the shelf, putting it in a shared folder and never looking at it again is never enough.
Policies are agreements between people on how they are going to interact collectively. A company’s policies should represent the company’s culture and should be written in a way that includes language everyone can refer back to. Fostering a shared vision is the core of good HR management.
Setting up overseas can be a minefield of hidden costs and regulatory hurdles. We have planned, launched and managed international subsidiaries for UK companies across the world, including the US, China, India and the EU. Our clients use us for this kind of project because we already know their business and we have decades of experience managing subsidiaries and remote workers all over the world.
