TOP 100 GLOBALOutsourcing Firm

Since contracting QX in summer 2010 I have been really impressed with the “QX approach” towards client accounting services. I believe they are special because they work to achieve the objectives of the client and as part of the UK team rather than just being a support or cost saver. Our Management Reporting has come on a quantum leap since we engaged QX. I would personally like to thank our QX colleagues for their dedication and the quality of work which they have been able to deliver on-time and consistently. It's been a real pleasure working with QX.

David Tymms, iQ Student Accommodation

Modern businesses expect CFOs and finance leaders to help shape overall strategy and drive business growth. To focus on the future, the smartest accounting resources must be upskilled and freed from repetitive and time-consuming accounting functions like bookkeeping, payroll, payables, receivables, credit control and reporting.

Our comprehensive finance & accounting outsourcing services provide certainty to finance leaders and empower them to focus on the future. Backed by 14 years of experience and in-house technology expertise, we not only supply reliable and accurate services, but also partner with our clients to successfully implement operations transformation initiatives.

Our services help businesses transform F&A operations, improve efficiency and reduce costs via:

DIGITISATION AND AUTOMATION We drive and support initiatives for

digitisation & automation, helping our clients to replace paper-based

and people-driven systems with automated, process-driven systems.

PARTNERSHIP APPROACH We are committed to a ‘Partnership Approach’ and do not let ourselves

be limited by SLAs. We don’t just ‘do’ the accounts but give you feedback

and commentary, identify cost savings and suggest smarter ways of

operating.

FASTER, ACCURATE AND BESPOKE REPORTING

With our support, accounting departments can roll out various

financial reports faster, and with a higher level of accuracy. We deliver customised reports types in easily

digestible prestation formats.

CENTRALISED F&A BACK-OFFICE FUNCTIONS

Accounting departments spread across locations and working in silos

can often be inefficient and are difficult to scale. QX functions as a

centralised COE, delivering efficiency improvements and cost gains.

PAYROLL | PAY & BILL

When you’ve not dealt with outsourcing before, the unknown is the biggest problem and that throws up concerns because you think you will lose control. I didn’t see as if there would be too many benefits really. Everybody spoke about the cost side of things and the savings but I thought we ran quite a tight ship with quite tight processes so I didn’t really see there was too much to gain from it.

Having then worked with QX, my opinion changed; what they do is review and then tighten up the processes, they do what they say they are going to do; they are dependable. So if you have something that needs to happen at the same time each week or whatever it might be, nothing is too much trouble.

As time has gone on and the relationship has built, QX takes on more and more responsibility for the day to day things and it is the reliability factor that really makes a difference.- Julian Barford, Finance Manager, YourWorld Recruitment Group
