What is outsourced accounts receivable services?
Outsourcing accounts receivable services involves sending tasks such as invoicing, generating statements and reconciling customer accounts offshore for completion by a resource that’s outside of your organisation. They’re typically located overseas in countries such as the Philippines.
By outsourcing accounts receivable, businesses are able to then focus on tasks that are core to their business. Account personnel can focus on more complex and analytical tasks that have a real impact on the day-to-day financial operations of the business.
Sending accounts receivable tasks offshore is also more cost effective than employing locally, and gives your accounts team the dedicated support they need at a drastically reduced price. Offshore accounts receivable staff can complete all the essential tasks required of the role, including but not limited to:
- Reconciling of customer accounts
- Reconciling general ledger and bank statements
- Commission calculations
- Month-end and year-end processes
- Financial and sales reporting
- Preparing and processing monthly journal entries
- Maintaining the billing system
- Generating invoices and account statements
- Maintaining accounts receivable files and records
- Investigating and resolving any irregularities or enquiries
- Working with required accounting software such as MYOB, Xero or Quickbooks
Why do businesses outsource accounts receivable offshore?
Businesses may choose to outsource their accounts receivable tasks for a number of reasons. Not only does it cost less, but it’s also easier to find dedicated staff who want to do the work. This then leaves your local team free to focus on more complex work to grow your business and will ultimately lead to more satisfied employees.
Back-office tasks such as accounts receivable can easily be handled offshore, ensuring you stay on top of your paperwork and your accounts. You can get on with generating new business and sales, while your offshore staff ensures that you’re receiving timely payments. And at any given time, you’ll know exactly where your business stands financially, what your sales figures look like and who owes you money.
