The pressure is on to do it all–to do more with less. Outsourcing certain back office functions can allow you and your team to focus on what you do best: leading the organization, delivering services, raising money.

Five “key” benefits of outsourcing

Efficiency. Your staff can focus on what they are good at, the things they were hired for. Your back office partner can take care of the rest.

Expertise. Technology, payroll, accounting, bookkeeping, web, or human resources: these fields take specialized knowledge that must be constantly updated. You can have experts at your service without having to hire five different people—or make do with someone trying to do it while they can find the time. Outsourced experts can increase access to technology, skills and insights not otherwise available or affordable to you.

Technology. Your outsourcing partner can stay up to date on all the latest and greatest, and tell you when and if it is time to upgrade.

Continuity. Avoid the loss of productivity through staff turnover and absenteeism. Your outsourcing partner won’t call in sick or leave for greener pastures.

Scale. You may not be big enough for a full-scale HR or IT department. Or you hesitate to hire when you are unsure of the future of your funding in the short/middle term. Using an outsourced service professional is a great way to have access to talent only when required and to avoid long term commitments.
