Client stories

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.

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.

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.

Rethinking Bookkeeping: A practical guide for Accountants to outsource Let’s talk bookkeeping. It’s essential. It’s time-consuming. And let’s be honest — it’s probably not the part of your day you’re most excited about. If you’re an accountant juggling client work, running your firm, and maybe even trying to scale, bookkeeping can feel like the never-ending task that’s always on your list… but never quite at the top. That’s where outsourcing comes in — and it might just be the smartest move you haven’t made yet. Why Bookkeeping Deserves a Rethink Bookkeeping isn’t just data entry. It’s the foundation of good bookkeepingdecision-making — for your clients and your own business. But as your firm grows, it’s also one of the first things that quietly starts to eat up time, drain resources, and hold you back from the bigger picture. Here’s what we hear from firms all the time: “We’re stretched thin — but we can’t hire yet.” “We want to focus on advisory, not admin.” “Our team’s brilliant — but bogged down in the day-to-day.” Sound familiar? So Why Outsource Bookkeeping? Because it’s repeatable, process-driven, and ideal for delegation. Outsourcing your bookkeeping means you get: ✅ Time back — focus on strategic work, not chasing receipts ✅ Flexibility — scale support up or down as needed ✅ Consistency — same team, same processes, no surprises ✅ Savings — no recruitment, training, or desk space needed At Affinity Outsourcing, we provide UK accountants with a reliable, fully trained team who know Xero, QuickBooks, Sage — and how to keep things tidy, compliant, and ready for the next step. What Can You Actually Outsource? Spoiler: pretty much everything that’s eating your time. Daily/weekly/monthly bookkeeping Bank reconciliations Accounts payable & receivable VAT returns Management accounts Cloud accounting support & setup Whether you’re drowning in receipts or just need someone to tidy up the tail end of your month-end, there’s a model to suit your needs. But Will It Still Feel “Like Us”? Absolutely. Outsourcing with the right partner doesn’t mean losing control or diluting your service. It means getting support that integrates seamlessly into your firm’s processes — like an invisible extension of your team. You set the tone. You maintain the relationship with the client. We just make it easier to deliver consistently excellent service behind the scenes. When to Start Outsourcing Bookkeeping Not sure if it’s the right time? Here are a few signs: You or your team are spending more time on admin than advisory You’re turning down work because capacity is maxed out Quality is slipping, or things are falling through the cracks You want to grow — but don’t want to hire just yet If that’s ringing a few bells, it might be time to rethink how you manage your bookkeeping load. Ready to Take Bookkeeping Off Your Plate? You don’t need to do it all — and you don’t need to do it alone. We make it simple, whether you want to start small or go all in. No massive contracts. No awkward handovers. Just a trusted team to help you do more (without doing more yourself). Let’s talk. We’ll show you how easy it can be.

Cybersecurity for Accountants: Why It’s Time to Act Now From payroll and tax data to client bank details, accountants are sitting on some of the most sensitive and valuable data in any business. That makes you a prime target for cyberattacks. And no, not just the big firms. Small and mid-sized practices are just as vulnerable, if not more.  So, if you’ve been brushing cybersecurity off as someone else’s concern, it’s officially time to change that. Why Accountants Are Prime Targets Here’s the short version: you hold data criminals want. Names, addresses, NI numbers Bank account details Company financials Logins to HMRC portals or accounting software Cybercriminals don’t care how friendly your client service is. If you’ve got data and they’ve got access, that’s all it takes. Common Threats Accountants Face Not sure what a cyber threat looks like these days? Here are the usual suspects: Phishing Emails: That “HMRC alert” or “urgent invoice” might look real, but one click could open the door to malware. Weak Passwords: If you’re still using “Password123” (or haven’t changed it since 2017), we need to talk. Unsecured Wi-Fi or Devices: Working from cafés or your phone? Great for flexibility. Risky for security. Outdated Software: That “remind me later” update? It might be leaving a giant hole open for attackers. Simple Steps to Get Safer, Now No need for a full-blown IT degree. These steps are simple, smart, and make a big difference: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – It’s not glamorous, but it is effective. That extra step could stop a hacker cold. Encrypt Your Backups – Hopefully you already have backups in place? Now make sure they’re encrypted and stored safely (ideally off-site or in the cloud). Stay Alert for Scams – If something feels off, trust your gut. Unexpected email? Double-check the sender. Don’t download anything suspicious. Keep Software Updated – Yes, even your accounting software. Updates patch security gaps. No updates = open invitation. Train Your Team – Cybersecurity is a team sport. Make sure everyone knows what to look for and how to respon Time to Act Cyber threats aren’t going away, they’re getting smarter. The good news? So can you. Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a growing firm, taking cybersecurity seriously isn’t optional anymore. It’s a business essential. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t go it alone, teams like ours at Affinity Outsourcing are here to help you stay secure, compliant, and confident. Want help keeping your firm safe? Let’s talk. Protecting your clients starts with protecting their data.

Outsourcing vs. In House : Which Strategy Works Best for Your Growth? Let’s be honest, when it comes to managing your accounting or back-office operations, the question isn’t if you need help. It’s how you’ll get it done.  Do you build a team in-house, or do you tap into the power of outsourcing?  Both approaches have their pros and cons, and the “right” choice really depends on where your business is today and where you want it to go.  So, let’s break it down.  In-House: The Traditional Route  Hiring your own team means you have people in the office (or at least on your payroll) who work directly under your leadership. You know them, they know you, and they’re fully immersed in your business every day.  Pros of keeping it in-house:  You have more control over the process and people.  It’s easier to build a culture and align the team with your vision.  Real-time access for collaboration and communication.  But here’s the flip side:  Recruiting, training, and retaining staff is time-consuming (and expensive).  You’re on the hook for salaries, benefits, office space, and tech.  One resignation or illness can throw everything off track.  If you’re a larger firm with deep pockets and long-term plans to scale a full finance department, in-house might make sense. But for many growing businesses, it can become a bottleneck.  Outsourcing: A Smarter, Scalable Solution?  Outsourcing gives you access to skilled professionals (like us at Affinity Outsourcing!) without the overhead of building an in-house team. You’re not hiring people; you’re investing in capabilities.  Why more businesses are turning to outsourcing:  Instant access to a team of experts without the hiring headache.  Flexible, scalable solutions that grow with your needs.  Cost-effective, no salaries, no benefits, just results.  Focus on your core business while we handle the financials.  Plus, with cloud-based tools and real-time reporting, working with an outsourced partner feels just as connected as having someone down the hall. (Except you don’t have to pay for their coffee.)  So, Which One’s Right for You?  There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here’s a quick rule of thumb:  ✅ If you’re a start-up or growing business, outsourcing can save you time, money, and a ton of stress while you focus on growth.  ✅ If you’ve already got an in-house team, outsourcing can still complement your strategy, taking on overflow work, handling compliance, or managing seasonal spikes.  ✅ If you’re feeling stuck with inefficiencies, it might be time to explore whether your current setup is helping you grow or holding you back.  Final Thoughts  Growth isn’t just about doing more; it’s about doing things smarter. Whether you outsource your accounting, payroll, or back-office tasks, the goal is to free up your energy to focus on what matters most: your customers, your team, and your vision.  At Affinity Outsourcing, we help businesses like yours find the right balance, offering reliable, professional outsourced accounting services that feel like an extension of your own team.  Want to see how outsourcing could work for you?
