Our Story
Our Story

Offering the best quality accounts outsourcing for UK accountants

Affinity Associates commenced trading as an accountancy practice in the late 1960s from Willesden, London NW10 area. We moved to Wembley in 2004, where we converted the existing industrial warehouse into an office space.

In 2005, we began to provide direct outsourced accountancy support for our practice in the UK from India. As we refined our service and processes and built an experienced team out there, we identified an opportunity to expand our outsourcing service and offer it to independent UK accountancy practices. In 2011, Affinity Outsourcing became an entity in its own right.

There are many reasons why UK accountancy practices love working with us. From the ease with which we can be reached to our on-the-ground expertise in the UK tax system – we are very good at what we do!

Say “goodbye” to late nights when the tax deadlines loom, headaches recruiting qualified staff and getting bogged down with mundane, low-fee jobs. Instead, say “hello” to having more time for practice growth, strong client relationships, and being able to take holidays without worrying about what your desk will look like when you get back!

We have been providing the best and the most affordable outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services to a wide range of UK accountancy firms in the UK for many years now. If you are planning to offload work yourself so that you can focus on your business more than accounts and books, then we offer quality accounting outsourcing services in the UK.

Our mission

To provide long-term bespoke outsourced accounting services to UK accountants and help them add immense value to the services they offer their end clients.

Our vision

To be the first choice for UK accountants looking for a way to increase their profit margins, grow their business, and improve client satisfaction.

The Affinity Outsourcing Values

What We Do
What We Do

Qualified people, solid services

We at Affinity Outsourcing strongly believe in excellence. We aim to help accountancy practices in the UK thrive – with our help – serve their clients in the best way possible and take their business to greater heights. Having said that, we also know that without a strong team at the helm, achieving this goal for us won’t be possible. That’s why we’re so proud to have the founders, client managers, team leads, and accountants we have on board. We believe in investing in people and building meaningful bonds with our outsourced accounting services.

We are different from ordinary outsourced accounting firms. We know our job well.

Pay As You Go!

Thinking of outsourcing accounts and booking but want to avoid getting bound for the long run? No problem! We keep our clients free from any contracts and follow the “Pay As You Go” model, which means you only have to pay for the services you want to use. No heavy deposits are to be made; no surprise charges from us—only brilliant accounts outsourcing service. Get going with Affinity Outsourcing Accounting Services!

Opt for a free trial

We see outsourcing as a solution for business growth and that helps accountancy practices achieve their potential. That’s why we offer to run a free trial job, so you can see how much your practice can benefit from outsourcing. Once you are confident, we work with you to create a bespoke package to suit the needs of your business. How simple is that, right?

Get transparent, simple pricing

We don’t charge by the hour, nor would you have to pay a monthly fee when no work is available. Either all the work we produce for you is completed for a guaranteed fixed fee. This is calculated as a set % of the fee you charge your client, which means you always know how much profit you’ll make on the job! Or if you have sufficient work, we provide a full time employee.

Add value to your practice

Outsourcing equals value addition, and we want all accountancy practices – small, medium, and large – to tap into their full potential without hassle. That’s why our team of certified and experienced accountants ensure that their work is top quality and delivers 100% client satisfaction. That’s a guarantee from our team!

Outsource your work in a structured way

Affinity Outsourcing is owned and managed by qualified UK accountants in practice. All your work is managed by an appointed client manager and team in India. Our advanced systems enable you to track the progress of every job and someone is always available during UK hours. Of course, the UK team is available if you have any doubts.

Use the latest accounting technologies

In this day and age, it always helps to be a tech-savvy accountancy practice. If you don’t have that competitive edge yet, fret not. Let us share our knowledge and expertise of the latest accounting software, such as Xero, QuickBooks, and Dext, and empower your accountancy practice to deliver competent services to your clients.

Why are Different from Other Accounting Companies?

Affinity Outsourcing is completely different from other accountancy firms in the UK. We are different in terms of costing (We are affordable), we are different in terms of services (Our services are more professional), we are always available (Our team is always there to help you), we are different in terms of communication (We are great communicator), etc. Therefore, if you are looking for extraordinary accounting services at ordinary prices, then it’s time to try our outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services.

Affinity Outsourcing is owned and managed by qualified UK accountants, in practice. We are special and different because all your work is processed in the UK before being handed to the team in India. Our advanced systems enable you to track and monitor your work flow, so you can access an up to date status of your jobs. If you need to talk to someone about a job, for example it’s become urgent, you can phone or email either your client manager in the UK or your team leader in India.

One of the most important factors that make us stand over the ordinary accounting outsourcing companies is that we don’t charge our clients with heavy amount. We don’t charge by the hour, nor would you have to pay for a person each month where there is no work available. Instead all the work Affinity Outsourcing produces for you are completed for a guaranteed fixed fee. This is calculated as a set % of the fee you change your client, which means you always know how much profit you will make on the job and all of our clients have benefited from improved profit margins.

Also, we don’t tie you into a long-term contract. At Affinity Outsourcing we don’t see our service as a short-term solution but as a long-term investment that helps accountancy practices achieve their potential and provide an excellent service to their clients. But we also understand that this will be a new way of working for many accountants. For that reason, we offer to run a free trial job, so you can see just how much your practice can benefit from our service. Once you are confident this is the solution you have been looking for, we work with you to create a bespoke package to suit the needs of your business.

Our Hi-tech Delivery Centres

We are one of the oldest and the most trusted accounting outsourcing Services Company in the UK.  Currently, currently have two delivery centres. The first is based in Wembley and the second is in Ahmadabad, India. Two of the partners work from the Wembley office full time, along with the practice manager and client managers.

Affinity Associates and all the staff for this company also work from our Wembley and Horsham offices. The accountancy outsourcing service centre in Ahmadabad is home to approximately 90 staff working from a modern, air-conditioned office, based in the business district of the city. The building is owned by Affinity Outsourcing and equipped with up-to-date security systems and technology to ensure that we deliver the best possible service to our clients.

Better outsourced accounting service starts here.

Using Affinity Outsourcing has changed both my business and my lifestyle. I have an amazing work life balance and knowing that I have a back up plan if there is a reason why I can’t work has helped me enormously. The added value is that I have managed to increase my GRF and therefore the capital value of the business for my retirement without any stress. I cannot recommend this way of working highly enough.

Artisan Accountants

The contrast with the previous outsourcing company could not have been clearer. Affinity provided us with a dedicated team in the UK and a team leader in India. We have an established system which allows us to prioritise our jobs making sure client satisfaction remains high. We like the ability to switch our usage on and off according to our work volumes and our capacity. Using Affinity Outsourcing has given us a significant competitive advantage and we continue to exploit this and increase our client numbers without compromising service levels.

Kevin Alderton & Team

As a general practitioner for over 30 years I have experienced all the highs and lows of staff shortages, poor quality working papers, missed deadlines and the day-to-day pressure of work. Since being with Affinity I have not missed a single deadline, I have found the quality of their work to be excellent, and l can relax more, safe in the knowledge that they are there for me, taking care of both my clients and my Practice. I cannot recommend Affinity highly enough.
