Outsourcing Service

As one of the leading firms of chartered accountants and business advisers in Scotland we have developed a detailed understanding of the issues and constraints facing businesses of all sizes.

In a marketplace where there is both limited time and resource, recruiting the ideal candidate for your accounts management function isn’t always easy and your accounting systems can suffer from lack of experienced attention whilst you go through the recruitment process. In other circumstances you may feel that you don’t need to employ a full-time individual for your accounting function but still require an experienced professional.

Johnston Carmichael’s outsourcing service can help by providing short-term interim cover for periods of staff absence, to assist with back logs or for specific periods of increased workload. We can also provide longer term part-time finance managers.
