The finance function problem

Your finance team is a bottleneck, a cost centre, and a retention nightmare.

Accounting is one of the functions businesses most consistently understaff, overpay for locally, and struggle to retain. The result: books that close late, AR that goes uncollected for 60+ days, payroll errors that damage trust, and a CFO or founder who spends Friday nights in spreadsheets instead of running the business.

💸

A US bookkeeper costs more than most founders realise

An experienced bookkeeper at $28/hr fully loaded — with taxes, benefits, software, and recruitment — costs $75,000+ per year. For a role that in many businesses could be done for a third of that cost by an equally qualified professional in the Philippines.

📅

Month-end closes that drag into the 10th, 15th, 20th

When your books close late, everything downstream is delayed — board reporting, tax prep, investor updates, and financial decisions. The industry average close takes 5–10 business days. Our teams average 3.

📉

AR that sits unpaid for 60, 90, 120 days

Every day an invoice sits unpaid is cash your business is not using. Most companies without a dedicated AR function let receivables age past 60 days on a significant portion of their book — a quiet but significant drag on working capital.

Client case study

How a UK fintech saved £180K annually — and closed its books in 3 days instead of 12

A 65-person fintech business based in London was managing its finance function with 3 local staff at an average cost of £65,000 per person fully loaded. Month-end close was taking 12 business days, DSO was running at 58 days, and the CFO was spending 3 days a month preparing board packs manually.

They had looked at UK-based accounting outsourcing but found the costs were comparable to internal staff — without the flexibility or the tool integration they needed. They needed a dedicated team inside their Xero environment, not a shared bookkeeping service.

Month-end went from 12 days to 3. DSO dropped from 58 days to 22. Our CFO now spends her time on strategy, not spreadsheets. The Nezda team knows our Xero setup better than our previous bookkeeper did after two years.

Week 1 — Finance audit & Xero review

Nezda audited their Xero chart of accounts, 3 years of transaction history, close checklist gaps, and the 58-day DSO problem. Identified 40% of invoices had no systematic follow-up after 30 days overdue.

Week 2 — 4-person team shortlisted

1 management accountant, 1 bookkeeper, 1 AR specialist, and 1 AP specialist. All had Xero certification. The CEO and CFO interviewed 9 candidates across 2 days and selected 4.

Week 3 — Xero access, chart of accounts training

Staff trained on the UK chart of accounts, VAT coding rules, and the CFO's board pack template. First live transactions posted on day 19. AR follow-up workflow built in week 3.

Month 2–4 — Close time drops, DSO falls to 22 days

Systematic AR follow-up cut DSO from 58 to 22 days within 90 days. Month-end close time fell from 12 days to 3. The CFO's board pack time reduced from 3 days to 4 hours.

I was spending every Sunday in QuickBooks. Within a month of the Nezda bookkeeper starting, I had not touched the books once. The accuracy is genuinely better than when I was doing it myself, and it costs me less than a part-time local hire.

Finance questions answered

Do your finance staff work inside our accounting software, or do they use their own?
Your staff work entirely inside your existing accounting software — QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB, Sage, NetSuite, or whichever platform you use. They do not use Nezda systems for any financial work. Access is provisioned through your software's standard user management, giving you full control over what they can see and do. All transaction history, reports, and audit trails remain in your system. You can remove access at any time. We never touch your bank accounts directly — all payment scheduling goes through your standard approval workflow.
How do you ensure bookkeeping accuracy?
Every Nezda finance engagement includes a structured accuracy framework. All bank accounts are reconciled monthly with a zero-tolerance policy for unresolved differences. Monthly reconciliation reports are produced and reviewed by your Nezda account manager. Any discrepancy above a defined threshold triggers an immediate review. Our current 99.9% accuracy rate reflects this systematic approach — it is not luck, it is process. For higher-risk periods like month-end close, we add a secondary review checkpoint before reports are issued to your team.
Can your team handle multi-currency and multi-entity accounting?
Yes. Multi-currency transaction processing, FX revaluation, and intercompany eliminations are within scope for our management accountant and senior bookkeeper roles. We have experience with USD, AUD, GBP, EUR, SGD, and CAD reporting. Multi-entity consolidation is available on the Enterprise plan, where we assign a management accountant with specific consolidation experience. We work in Xero, QuickBooks, and NetSuite for multi-entity setups, and can scope the complexity in your discovery call.
What is the relationship between your team and our local CPA or external accountant?
The Nezda finance team handles the day-to-day work: bookkeeping, reconciliations, AR/AP, payroll, and month-end close. Your external CPA or accountant handles the high-value advisory work: tax strategy, complex technical accounting, and statutory filings. Our clients typically find that once the Nezda team is running, their external CPA bills reduce by 40–60% because the books are clean, the close is done, and there is far less rework for the CPA to correct before they can do their own work. We prepare the full year-end file for your CPA — they just need to review and file.
Can Nezda finance staff process payroll in the US, Australia, or UK?
Yes. Our payroll specialists are experienced with payroll in all three markets. For the US we work in ADP, Gusto, Rippling, and Paychex. For Australia we work in KeyPay, Xero Payroll, and MYOB. For the UK we work in BrightPay, Xero Payroll, and Sage Payroll. Payroll tax calculations, superannuation / pension contributions, STP reporting (AU), and RTI submissions (UK) are all within scope. We do not process direct payments — all pay runs are prepared by the Nezda team and require your approval before submission.
