Scale Your Audit Capacity. Without Overloading Your Internal Team.
FineX provides audit support services for accounting firms that need additional preparation and delivery capacity. Our outsourced audit support covers agreed audit-file preparation, working-paper support and documentation tasks within your methodology, systems and supervision arrangements. Professional judgement and the audit opinion remain with the responsible audit team. See our audit working paper preparation checklist.

Accounting outsourcing is the use of an external accounting team to perform defined accounting activities on behalf of a business. This can include bookkeeping, ledger maintenance, reconciliations, month-end support and other ongoing accounting processes.
Bookkeeping outsourcing involves assigning routine bookkeeping activities to an external team. Depending on the engagement, this may include transaction recording, ledger maintenance, account coding, bank postings and supporting accounting schedules.
Businesses can outsource individual activities or broader parts of their accounting function, including bookkeeping, general ledger accounting, bank reconciliations, balance-sheet reconciliations, journals and month-end accounting support.
Bookkeeping focuses primarily on maintaining accurate financial records and recording transactions. Accounting builds on those records through reconciliations, adjustments, period-end processes, reporting and financial analysis.
Yes. Businesses can outsource a specific process such as bookkeeping or reconciliation while retaining the rest of their accounting and finance activities internally.
Finex can structure support around individual accounting professionals, dedicated teams or wider managed finance operations depending on the client's requirements.
The delivery model can be structured around the client's existing accounting systems, processes and reporting environment, subject to the requirements of the engagement.
Yes. Outsourced accounting support can include ledger reviews, reconciliations, journals, accrual and prepayment support, supporting schedules and other agreed month-end activities.
Yes. One of the advantages of an outsourced model is the ability to increase accounting capacity as transaction volumes, entities and reporting requirements grow.
Accounting outsourcing can refer to outsourcing specific processes or accounting activities. A dedicated offshore accountant is an individual resource who works more consistently as an extension of the client's finance team.
Bookkeeping and reconciliations create the underlying accounting records needed for management reporting. Finex can extend the service into management accounting and reporting where a business requires additional support.
Whether you need reliable bookkeeping, stronger month-end processes, additional accounting capacity or a complete dedicated offshore accounting team, Finex can build the right delivery model around your organisation. Start with the accounting support you need today. Scale into the finance capability you need tomorrow.
