Advantages of Outsourced Audit Support Services for CPA Firms

Published on12 January 2024

Audit services are a critical business aspect for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms. Unfortunately, audits are time-consuming, complex, and require significant resources and expertise. And because of this, many CPA firms are starting to outsource their audit support services to increase efficiency, ensure accuracy, free up resources, and increase the bottom line.

Growth and Increased Flexibility

Most CPA firms strive for growth, which means increasing revenue and ROI. To achieve this, CPA firms must provide reliable auditing services. However, managing additional resources required for expansion can be overwhelming, even if you have a team of auditors. This is where outsourcing comes in handy.

By outsourcing audit support services to specialized providers, CPA firms can focus on acquiring new clients and managing existing customer relationships. This allows firms to streamline their daily operations, grow, and eliminate the added stress of auditing in-house.

Reclaim Lost Hours

Time is a precious commodity, and you can never get it back once it’s lost. Outsourcing audit services allows your employees to reclaim their time and focus on nurturing relationships with clients. Outsourcing will also save time spent managing auditors and human resource personnel, allowing you to streamline your daily operations.

Faster Turnaround

When you take into account planning, fieldwork, and compiling the report, audits typically take three months from start to finish. That’s a lot of time and resources for a single project. Also, it’s worth considering that clients choose CPA firms that work swiftly and deliver quality work. By outsourcing audit services to a team of experts, you can expedite the process, free up your team, and deliver quality services quickly.

Do What You Do Best

Your CPA firm likely offers a series of core business services that you excel at and generate the bulk of your revenue. When you outsource audit services, you eliminate tedious and time-consuming tasks and get strategic support and resources from experienced experts allowing you to focus on your core strengths.

Higher Quality Output

Your team may know how to audit, but do you specialize in it? When you outsource auditing projects to specialists, you’re putting them in capable hands. Audit specialists know auditing; it’s their core service, and they can deliver accurate and timely results.

More Services, Less Work

Many CPA firms offer auditing services to stay competitive, even though these services strain their resources. By outsourcing, you can stay competitive by offering a full line of services without bearing the entire workload on your own. This ensures you remain competitive and drive customer satisfaction without overwhelming your in-house resources.
