Based in New Market, New Zealand, our client's advisory and accounting firm has long been synonymous with exceptional financial services. With a 20-strong onshore team, our client was eager to diversify its offerings by launching a bookkeeping and payroll division. However, the scarcity of skilled accountants locally presented an uphill challenge.
Turning to Deskwork for a solution, we embarked on a journey to build this new division using offshore talent. The goal? To tap into their extensive expertise and steer their offshore team, essentially evolving into a cross-shore organization capable of delivering top-notch services to their clients.
Deskwork's mission was to find four qualified accountants who possessed an in-depth understanding of New Zealand and Australian accounting practices. After an exhaustive three-week search involving screening and interviews of over 600 applicants, four highly qualified and capable professionals emerged as the perfect candidates.
Since integrating their offshore team into the business, our client’s new division has flourished. Guided by their onshore counterparts, the offshore team has seamlessly fulfilled their roles and maintained clear client communication. This strategic move not only boosted efficiency but also significantly reduced payroll expenses compared to hiring locally. In just a short time, our client has transformed itself into a thriving cross-shore organisation, thanks to Deskwork's expertise in finding the right offshore talent.
