No hassle dealing with the accounts and VAT etc. just sign the cheque every quarter and concentrate on running your business.

They are not the benefits of outsourcing. The above poster has actually given a correct benefit of outsourcing the task.

As Indi states, they are not benefits, they are tasks....

There are two types of time if you are running a small business - as an owner / manager say:

1 - Fee earning time
2 - none fee earning time.

Unless you are an accountant, the accountancy task is usually none fee earning time.

If you are outsourcing as stated above, yes you will get accurate and (hopefully) professional outputs as shown, but one of the key benefits is that it helps you maximise the fee earning time available to you.

The money you should make in clawing back this valuable fee earning should far outstrip any costs associated with the outsourcing.

A word of warning however: make sure you get a good referral from a personal contact when out sourcing this stuff as if you get it wrong, it goes very wrong.

There are a number of factors that you may wish to consider when looking to outsource a bookkeeping service.
Like many business operators, your time is very valuable, and finding opportunities to do your bookkeeping always seem to be overtaken by other tasks needed to run your business.
The first benefit of having a professional bookkeeper come in and do the bookwork is that we won’t be distracted by other incidents that occur during the day in your business
Secondly, we do bookkeeping everyday, are skilled, well practiced, experienced and more than likely faster than you would be
Thirdly, we can most likely streamline the bookkeeping process for you, take away the stress and pressures of doing the bookwork, and free up your time to focus on what you do best in your business, and more importantly give you back some time that you can be spending with your family

Outsourcing can be very beneficial;

It could free you time, allowing you to potentially earn more than the cost of outsourcing.
It can save you money; quality Management information will highlight inefficiencies in your business, on a timely basis, so that you can make corrective action.
It should ensure that all legislation (HMRC etc) is correctly applied/adhered to.
It can help you develop your business - financial management is not just about the past, but also the future; forecast, forewarn, forearm.

don't outsource merely to 'take away the headache' - Ensure you are getting tangible improvements for your fee

Not having to employ someone is a great benefit
