Outsourced Finance Director Key Benefits
Many of our clients who are currently benefitting from having the role of a finance director in their organisations, highlight these key benefits.

Cutting out the need for communication between your bookkeeper / accountant and various other third parties, leading to a reduction in overall fees.
Confidence
You can trust that tasks are being dealt with by staff with the correct experience, by using Prydis to fill the role of finance director. Tasks can be effectively distributed between tax, accounting, and other specialists.
Reduce Risk of Staff Issues
A constant support system, no issues with holiday, ad-hoc leave or disruptions by changes in staff due to workflows being dealt with by a flexible team
Specialist Advice
The ability to support high level functions from specialists whose services would cost significant sums without the use of the package we provided.
Reduce Costs
Hourly charge out rates to ensure the fees being charged reflect the level of work being undertaken, as such you will never be paying for any idle time or wasted capacity.
Overhead Costs
We suggest our support is provided on a time spent basis as opposed to a monthly retainer. As such our input levels can fluctuate to meet you monthly requirements, limiting your exposure to fixed overhead costs through salaries. By outsourcing the finance function, various additional costs such as recruitment, training, pension contributions and bonuses are eliminated.
Holistic Service
The ability to provide a complete support service for yourself in respect of your companies’ financial affairs.
Scalability
As your business grows or ad-hoc demands arise, we have the scope to provide additional services to support your needs.
Flexibility
Not all business is conducted from 9 to 5, and we appreciate that our service must often go beyond the expectations of a general staff member to meet these requirements. The use of the Prydis team will provide a significant support team available to be flexible to your needs.
Systems
As accounting and finance specialists we have access to a number of software platforms which may be of assistance to your business. These software’s often come at a significant cost if purchased in isolation.
Infrastructure
As an outsourced function you are not required to deal with sorting contracts, computers and other forms of hardware or a number of staff related matters. Our offering is designed to be presented as a packaged product presenting minimal complications for yourselves.
Time
Our package is designed to allow your key management personal time to focus on the issues which support business development and in turn, reduce the financial administrative burden, whilst supporting you throughout the process.
