Consultancy

At the heart of each and every recruitment business is the sales organisation backed, up by an effective pay and bill function. If your pay and bill function is not working, or not working the way you want it to work, we can provide resource to help you.

The efficient running of the pay and bill function is critical to make sure temps, locums and contractors get paid the right amount on time and customer invoicing takes place as quickly and accurately as possible, to maintain cashflow.

As your business grows, the demands on your finance back office will need to grow too and it is often not easy to make sure that it keeps pace with business growth. As a result the consequences can be serious, from delayed cash collection of sales invoices to temps, contractors and locums who are disappointed with late and/or incorrect payment.

We can help identify the particular areas of your back office that will need attention under the weight of increased business volumes and advise on (and if needed implement) changes to make your key finance back office processes scalable.

We can also help by:

• Troubleshooting Problem Areas - Quite often aspects of the back office process go wrong and a fresh pair of eyes/others with more experience are needed to point out what the causes are and what to do to fix the problems
• Advising on Best Practice - It is difficult to know without external benchmarks whether a back office is functioning as efficiently as possible. We can offer an external perspective to see what improvements could be made, not only from a cost efficiency perspective but also to improve the speed and accuracy of customer billing (and therefore cash collection) and improving service to agency workers
• Advising on New Systems - Systems selection and implementation places enormous stresses on existing accounts department staff and normally something gives - either the "day job" suffers or the new systems work does not get the attention it deserves so that the benefits from the investment do not crystallise, or the project suffers from cost and time delays. We can help share the burden of the extra workload to help maintain day to day service to the business by the accounts department and also to realise the objectives from the new systems investment
• Helping Recruit And Train Staff - Sometimes accounts departments suffer from significant staff churn or need new, more experienced, staff as the scale of the business has outgrown their capabilities. We can help here by helping you recruit and train new staff, to make sure they are fully bedded in and start delivering as quickly as possible
