The client’s finance department had grown disproportionately large but was underperforming. Despite having double the staff typically required, financial operations were consistently delayed. Poor task delegation and internal mismanagement forced the owner to spend over 30% of his weekly time resolving finance-related issues, hindering growth and personal well-being.
Outsourcing and process optimization transformed our struggling finance department, improving efficiency, saving costs, and freeing up valuable time for the owner to focus on growth and personal pursuits.

The restructuring and outsourcing strategy bore immediate and tangible benefits
By streamlining workflows and eliminating redundant tasks, the company successfully reduced 250 staff hours each month. This was achieved through smart process redesign and strategic role consolidation. Importantly, service quality and team productivity remained unaffected. The result was significant cost savings and increased operational efficiency.
Financial reporting, previously delayed by up to two weeks, was now consistently delivered on time, with a 40% improvement in report accuracy and a 50% reduction in the time required to close monthly books.
The elimination of 250 non-essential staff hours translated into $75,000 in annual payroll savings. This figure was calculated using average labour costs within the finance department. The savings were achieved without layoffs—just smarter resource allocation. These freed-up funds were redirected to high-impact strategic initiatives.
The owner’s involvement in day-to-day financial management decreased dramatically, from over 12 hours a week to less than 2, allowing him to redirect his focus towards strategic growth and personal endeavours, notably reigniting his passion for landscape photography, an interest neglected for years.
