WHY OUTSOURCE?

The Upside Of Outsourcing

  • GO MOBILE

    These days, business owners are not strapped to their desks. You have to go where the business is. Instead of having to be in the office to approve payments or review a contract, you can access that information from any mobile device including laptops, tablets or the palm of your hand via your smartphone.

  • Work with experts

    By teaming up with Dugan + Lopatka, you will have access to expert advice and confidence in financial reports that meet regulatory and compliance standards.

  • Real-time bill paying and reporting

    Always have current, up-to-date financial information to help make decisions to run your organization.

  • Save time, allowing you to focus on your business

    By outsourcing your accounting to Dugan + Lopatka you can focus your energy and time on growing your business. You can take the time previously spent on laborious tasks and concentrate it on high-yielding activities. Time-consuming processes such as data entry and check runs are taken off your plate, so you can focus on business priorities.

  • Save money

    The real value of outsourcing your accounting services is that it increases efficiencies and reduces your costs. By outsourcing your accounting operations to Dugan + Lopatka, you are only paying for the accounting help you need – when you need it. With absolutely zero employee-related costs to deal with!

    We pride ourselves in our accounting systems and techniques and ensure that we are always at the forefront of technology. With Dugan + Lopatka, you are not only getting trained staff to handle the job, you also get access to state-of-the-art accounting software.

  • Gain greater insight into your business

    Gain the strategic insight you need around your financial performance to successfully run a business. You can eliminate bulky spreadsheets in favor of a cloud-based reporting platform that is always up-to-date. This information allows you to project receivables and payables, reveal potential problems in advance, and helps you rapidly plan for alternatives.

  • Ensure business continuity

    If a pipe breaks causing water to ruin your files or temporarily close your office, that does not mean you will have to stop invoicing, collecting money or paying your bills. Dugan + Lopatka stores your valuable information in an encrypted, secure cloud environment. All you need is Internet access to continue business as normal.

  • Maintain stability

    Outsourcing your finance and accounting operations also assures you continuity of the financial function. With Dugan + Lopatka you no longer have to worry about staff turnover or poor internal hires.

  • One monthly fee

    All accounting-related costs for software, hardware and staffing are in one monthly, affordable fee.

  • Scrap the paper

    Paper-based processes are notorious for eating up large volumes of time related to filing and tracking down documents. With Dugan + Lopatka, you can upload your bills and paperwork to a centralized, cloud-based repository of information that includes due dates, tracking of approvals and bill payment based on your schedule. It also means you can store contracts with bills for easy access – no more digging through files. Information is available at your fingertips.
