The smarter alternative to hiring internal finance staff

Most Australian businesses hire finance staff too early and pay for 40 hours when they need 10. Internal hires bring recruitment risk, 3-month ramp-up time, single-point-of-failure vulnerability, and full salary costs whether you're busy or quiet.

We replace your entire finance function with senior team coverage, daily partnership and fast responses - delivering better expertise and faster services than a single internal hire, at a fraction of the total employment cost.

What our clients say about us

5 star rating logo


Being a nationwide operating home and commercial services business, the biggest challenge with outsourcing any business process for our scale is that many consultants lack urgency on every task compared to those who work inside the business.

With Scale Suite, that's never been the case. They behave like the core part of our team that they are, receiving same day responses.

CEO, Busy Bees


Scale Suite have have been such a critical component to my business in the last few years. They have helped me understand my business in a way I never imagined I would, and they go above and beyond.

The back office is taken care of and I've been able to reduce costs. The team have allowed me to focus on winning new business, and getting more time back to spend with my daughter!

I have been working with the Scale Suite team for about 5 years now. After working with various CFOs and bookkeepers over time, I can say that they are the best in Sydney!

They are efficient with their work, fast in responding to us, and superior on pricing compared to hiring internally. Our team likes working with them because they make everything so easy. 5 star.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I Hire Internally or Outsource To Scale Suite?

It depends on your business stage and needs. If you need 40 hours per week of hands-on work with high transaction volumes or complex daily operations requiring office presence, hiring might make sense.

But most growing businesses need senior strategic expertise 10-20 hours weekly, not full-time execution. Hiring a finance manager costs $80k-$100k+ (with super and leave), requires 3-month ramp-up, and creates single-point-of-failure risk. Scale Suite delivers senior team coverage with Big 4 trained expertise, daily communication, and immediate responses at a fraction of the total employment cost.

We're ideal for businesses at $2M-$10M revenue who need strategic leadership but don't yet justify six-figure internal hires. Book a free consultation and we'll honestly assess whether you're better off hiring or outsourcing.

What services does Scale Suite offer?

Scale Suite provides comprehensive business support across three key areas: finance and accounting, human resources, and strategic business advisory services. We work with businesses of all sizes and industries, finance and HR teams seeking specialist support, and accounting firms looking to outsource specific functions to focus on their core expertise.

As registered BAS Agents, certified Xero Partners, Quickbooks Advanced Advisors, MYOB Partners and a member of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand, we deliver expert, reliable support you can trust. Unlike many chartered accountants who focus on tax and advisory work, we specialise in the detailed bookkeeping and operational support that keeps your business running smoothly.

Whether you're planning your first finance hire or need to scale existing operations, our services can be fully integrated or used standalone. Contact us today for a free consultation to discover how we can customise our services to accelerate your growth.

How is Scale Suite different from traditional accounting firms?

Traditional accounting firms typically only engage with clients annually during tax season. We take a completely different approach - we become your strategic business partner, integrating seamlessly with your operations to provide ongoing support, real-time financial insights, and proactive strategic guidance.

Our multi-disciplinary team eliminates the need to juggle multiple service providers, delivering comprehensive solutions under one roof. Plus, our efficient processes and technology-driven approach deliver better results than single internal hires at a fraction of the total employment cost.

Also, unlike most bookkeepers, we are Chartered Accountants, meaning we understand how our numbers translate into financial statements.

Why should I outsource finance and HR to Scale Suite instead of hiring in-house?

Outsourcing to Scale Suite delivers immediate cost savings and efficiency gains compared to building in-house teams. Internal hires cost $70k-$100k+ with super and leave, require 3-month ramp-up periods, and create coverage gaps when they're sick or leave.

Our senior specialists handle complex tasks like BAS preparation, payroll management, financial forecasting, and HR compliance with immediate responses and daily communication. You get the depth of an entire team without recruitment risk, training time, or full-time salary commitments.

We use secure, cloud-based systems that provide 24/7 access to real-time data and proactive business insights. Our clients consistently report improved cash flow management, higher employee satisfaction, and reduced operational stress. As Australian-based compliance specialists, we ensure your business stays fully compliant while you focus on growth.

Do you work with businesses outside of Sydney?

Absolutely! While we're proudly Sydney-based, we serve businesses across Australia through our advanced cloud-based systems and virtual collaboration tools. Our digital-first approach using leading platforms like Xero, Zoom, and secure document sharing ensures seamless service delivery regardless of your location. Many of our most successful client relationships are with businesses in regional areas who benefit from Sydney-level expertise at competitive rates.

What size businesses do you typically work with?

We're built for Australian businesses at an inflection point: your finances are too complex for a bookkeeper alone, but hiring a $100K+ finance manager feels premature.

Our clients typically have 10-100 employees, multiple revenue streams, and founders who are tired of making gut-feel financial decisions. You know you need better reporting, cash flow forecasting, and strategic finance guidance - but you don't need it 40 hours per week.

If you're considering your first finance hire, we can deliver senior-level expertise at a fraction of the cost, scaling up or down as your needs change.
Whether you're considering your first finance hire, a solo entrepreneur, small business owner, or professional services firm, we tailor our service mix and pricing to match your specific needs, budget, and growth objectives. Our modular approach means you only pay for what you need, when you need it.

How do you price your services?

We believe in transparent, predictable pricing that helps you budget effectively. Our flexible models include fixed monthly packages (our most popular option), project-based pricing for specific initiatives, and hybrid arrangements that combine ongoing support with ad-hoc services.

During your free initial consultation, we'll compare our approach to the total cost of internal hiring and recommend the most cost-effective solution based on your specific requirements and business stage. We're committed to delivering superior value compared to the total employment cost of internal staff.

We also offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not happy with our service!

Can you help with business planning and long-term strategy?

Definitely! Our experienced business advisory team specialises in comprehensive strategic planning, including detailed financial forecasting, operational efficiency improvements, and growth planning. We combine deep financial expertise with strategic thinking to help you achieve ambitious long-term goals. Whether you're planning for expansion, considering new markets, or preparing for exit, we provide the insights and frameworks you need to make confident decisions.

What sets Scale Suite apart from other business service providers?

We focus on delivering practical, sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes that don't last. Our unique integrated approach allows you to access finance, HR, and advisory services that work cohesively together, eliminating the communication gaps and inefficiencies that come with multiple providers.

We become a true extension of your leadership team, providing senior expert support at a fraction of the cost of hiring equivalent in-house talent. You get team depth instead of single-person risk, immediate impact instead of 3-month ramp-up, and flexibility to scale without notice periods or severance costs.

As small business owners ourselves, we genuinely understand the challenges you face across different industries and growth stages.

How quickly can you get started with a new client?

Our streamlined onboarding process typically gets new clients up and running within 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of your requirements and current system setup. Unlike internal hires who require 3-month ramp-up periods, we deliver immediate impact with no training time required.

We've designed our process to minimise disruption to your current operations while implementing robust systems that deliver immediate value. Best of all, we don't require long-term contracts - you can try our services risk-free and experience the difference firsthand.

How does Scale Suite ensure data security and regulatory compliance?

Data security and compliance are foundational to everything we do. We use encrypted cloud platforms, conduct regular security audits, and maintain strict adherence to Australian privacy laws and regulations. Our team has experience in GDPR-equivalent standards to support international clients. Compliance is built into every service we deliver, from BAS preparation to HR policy development.

We provide transparent reporting and comprehensive audit support. Your sensitive business data is always protected with the best security practices, and we ensure we have compliance plans designed to identify and mitigate risks before they become problems.
