See how the relationship worksBefore you brief
Bring the working context.
Which tasks repeat each month? Which systems are used? Who reviews and approves the work?
Specify the finance experience you need
Name the accounting systems, reporting formats and recurring deadlines in your brief. Distinguish invoice administration and document preparation from work that needs accounting qualifications or specialist judgement. Discuss the required experience during recruitment.
Keep review and approval explicit
A useful brief names who reviews reconciliations, approves payments and signs off reporting. Document the access the person needs and the decisions that remain with your finance lead. Agree the scope before assigning work.
Plan for your reporting rhythm
Include month-end deadlines, meeting times and the hours of overlap with your Australian team. Use a sample task to explain the expected output, how exceptions should be recorded and who can answer questions.
Questions about the role.
For budget planning, start with the scope and the working arrangement.
What to include in a quoteIs this an outsourced accounting service?
This page describes recruiting and supporting a person who works under your business’s daily direction. Agree any accounting qualifications, specialist responsibilities and review arrangements for the role; the example tasks are not a promise of tax or advisory services.
Can I specify our accounting software?
Include the software, processes and experience required in your brief. Software familiarity and any training needs should be discussed during recruitment, rather than assumed from a job title.
Make the finance role your own.
Draft the responsibilities, working hours and context you want to discuss.
