Solve Outsource was started in 2010 as a specialist accounting outsource service to small and medium sized companies. Besides the cost savings, these companies wanted to get expert accounting and payroll services from a great team in their corner.
Founded by John Carolan and later joined by Brenda Smith. Solve Outsource has grown to 13 qualified staff who are solely focused on delivering accurate accounting information on time. What’s more, we now work with hundreds of clients on a monthly basis.
Our experienced staff are equipped with the skills and expertise needed to support growing businesses with their outsourcing requirements.
Solve is a specialist accounting service provider for successful business owners and their companies. In effect, we are the accounts team!
Solve helps business managers and owners free up time to focus on core value added activities in a cost-efficient manner. Often, the hidden costs of employing a staff member may not be too obvious. In addition to their Gross Pay, there is Employers PRSI, and contributions as well as office space can add as much as 22 % extra on top of the employee’s wages. What’s more, employing staff in Ireland is becoming more complex and costly. Compulsory sick pay will reach 10 days by 2026 with increases in Employers PRSI on the way as well.
This is why Solve Outsource set up in business. Many companies pay a full-time person to carry out these roles. What’s more, they may not be needed for the full week and this time is filled doing non value tasks.
Finding an efficient and effective solution can be difficult. Therefore, many companies want to have a professional team dealing with your business needs. In addition to cost savings, business owners will have more time to focus their resources on their core business. In fact, having capable and experienced people to advise, support you is key. Our team is there to help ensure your business is successful, profitable and operating to maximum efficiency.
The service we provide helps our clients scale their requirements as their business grows and develops. Having our certified bookkeepers always on hand to assist when you need us, and our flexibility means that as you grow there is no change in the level of service provided and no deadline missed.
Here at Solve Outsource, we can offer an individual and flexible service tailored to your business with the assurance that Solve will be your “one stop shop” for all your accounting requirements.
