Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I hire A Finance Manager or Outsource To Scale Suite?

It depends on your needs. If you require 40 hours per week of hands-on financial work (high transaction volumes, complex daily operations), hiring might make sense. But most growing businesses need senior strategic finance expertise 10-15 hours weekly, not full-time execution.

Hiring a finance manager costs $80k-$100k+ (with super and leave), requires 3 months ramp-up, and creates single-point-of-failure risk when they're sick or leave. 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 finance leadership but don't yet justify a six-figure internal hire. Book a free consultation and we'll honestly tell you if you're better off hiring or outsourcing.

I'm About To Post A Job For A Finance Manager. Should I Talk To You First?

Yes - even if you ultimately decide to hire, the conversation costs nothing and might save you $50k+ annually. Many businesses hire finance staff too early and end up paying for 40 hours when they need 10.

We'll show you exactly what you'd get with an internal hire versus our embedded team approach - costs, capabilities, coverage, and flexibility. No pressure, just a clear comparison so you can make the right decision for your business stage.

Our 30-day money-back guarantee means you can try us risk-free before committing to expensive recruitment processes.

What If I need Someone In The Office Full-Time?

Then hiring is probably your better option. We're not right for every business.

We're best suited for companies that need senior finance expertise and strategic insights, but don't have 40 hours per week of hands-on finance work. Our clients typically need daily communication and quick responses, but their actual finance requirements are 10-20 hours weekly.

If your business has high transaction volumes, complex daily operations, or requires physical presence in the office, an internal hire makes more sense. We'll be honest about whether we're the right fit during our free consultation.

What financial services does Scale Suite provide?

Our comprehensive finance solutions include professional bookkeeping, management accounting, fractional CFO services, financial planning and analysis, proactive cash flow management, budgeting and forecasting, BAS preparation and lodgement, and business systems implementation. We specialise in Xero integration to ensure accuracy and provide real-time insights that help businesses optimise profitability and maintain compliance.

As registered BAS Agents, certified Xero Partners and Advisors, Quickbooks Advanced Advisors, MYOB Partners and a member of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand, we deliver expert, reliable support you can trust. Our services are designed to give you complete financial visibility and control over your business performance.

Do you provide CFO services for smaller businesses?

Yes! Our fractional CFO services (also called virtual CFO) make executive-level financial expertise accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. You get the strategic financial leadership and insights of a full-time CFO without the $150k+ salary commitment, with services precisely tailored to your business size, industry, and growth stage.

This includes advanced budgeting, risk assessment, growth planning, investor relations support, and strategic decision-making guidance that drives real business results. It's perfect for businesses who need CFO-level thinking but can't justify a six-figure internal hire.

What accounting software do you work with?

We work exclusively with Xero, the world's leading cloud-based accounting platform, because it delivers the best results for our clients. We provide complete Xero setup and optimisation, seamless data migration from legacy systems, customisation for your industry, comprehensive team training, and ongoing support to ensure you maximise the value from this powerful system. Our Xero certification and partnership mean you get expert-level implementation and support.

How do you help improve cash flow management?

We implement comprehensive cash flow management systems that include accounts receivable optimisation, strategic payment terms negotiation, intelligent expense management, accurate financial forecasting, and automated reporting dashboards that provide real-time visibility. Our proactive approach helps you anticipate and address potential cash flow challenges before they impact your operations. We provide detailed monthly cash flow reports and strategic recommendations to maintain healthy cash flow year-round.

What's included in your management reporting?

Our detailed management reports include profit and loss analysis with variance explanations, comprehensive cash flow statements, balance sheet summaries, key performance indicators tracking, budget vs. actual comparisons with insights, forward-looking financial forecasts, and customised reports specific to your industry and business model. All reports are professionally presented, easy to understand, and include actionable recommendations for improving performance.

Why should I outsource finance management to Scale Suite?

Outsourcing your finance function frees you from time-consuming daily financial tasks while reducing errors and overall costs. Internal finance hires cost $80k-$100k+ with super and leave, require 3-month ramp-up, and create single-person risk when they're sick or leave.

Our qualified accountants and financial analysts provide senior strategic insights with daily communication and immediate responses. You get team depth instead of relying on one person, immediate impact instead of training time, and flexibility to scale without recruitment risk or severance costs.

As Australian-based specialists, we ensure complete local compliance while offering flexible, scalable support that grows with your business. You'll also have comfort knowing if you're not satisfied with our services in the first month, you don't have to pay with our 30 day money back guarantee.

How do you ensure data security and confidentiality?

We maintain security protocols including encrypted data transmission, secure cloud storage with regular backups, comprehensive security auduits, and strict confidentiality agreements with all team members. Our staff are bound by professional codes of conduct and privacy requirements. We're fully compliant with Australian privacy laws and international data protection standards, giving you complete peace of mind about your sensitive financial information.
