From annual compliance to corporate restructures, our outsourced company secretarial team are expert, available and always up to date with the latest developments.
Statutory financial reporting
Whether you require an audit or not, we can support your year-end finance process. Our team is up to date with the latest technical changes to reporting standards and will help you meet your compliance obligations or act as trusted second providers to maintain auditors’ independence. Our accurate, expert outsourced accounting services let in-house finance teams focus on other priorities.
Payroll outsourcing services
In-depth, on hand and empowered with the latest technology, S&W’s payroll outsourcing solutions are efficient, reliable, cost-effective and tailored to each client’s needs. You can be confident your payroll is compliant with all regulations and HMRC, and that your employees will be paid accurately and on time, every time.
Smart financials
Make time for your finance function with automation, AI and apps to boost efficiency, productivity and performance. We advise on the latest technology, including LucaNet’s consolidation tool, drawing on experience across companies to identify and implement the solutions that produce the greatest returns on investment and impact for your team.
What business challenges can S&W outsourcing solutions help you solve?
We act as an extension of the finance function. Clients rely on us for their financial data, monthly management information, board meetings and to get investor-ready.
For expert insight, skills gaps, unexpected absences or extended support, we work across everyday workstreams, exceptional projects and as a partner supporting companies through periods of rapid growth and change.
What are the signs that your business could benefit from outsourcing solutions?
Fast-growth businesses facing increasing reporting requirements, and those experiencing periods of strain or change, often find they need better financial data. Major projects, company events and expansion are often triggers for our support. Recruitment or retention issues, repeated errors, missed deadlines, rising costs and a failure to harness the latest technology can also indicate that outsourcing may help.
