The Benefits of Outsourcing

As a leader of a small nonprofit business I’ve found several benefits in hiring skilled independent contractors who specialize in accounting, marketing, graphic design and more to help us meet our goals. The first 4 years of leading Mission Accomplished Transition Services I thought the best way to build a team was by hiring employees. I’ve experienced so many benefits from hiring individuals and companies that specialize in specific areas. The benefits I’ve experienced are:

Reduced Employment Costs and

Overhead Expenses: Outsourcing relieves the company from having to pay the various taxes associated with having employees; high insurance fees, fringe benefits such as travel and phone expenses, and much more.

Trained Subject Matter Experts: The independent contractors are subject matter experts who bring years of experience and training to the team. Most subject matter experts engage in ongoing professional development and are members of their industry community which makes sure they are always in the know about new tools and resources. If they have access to the new tools and resources, so do you!

Quick Start to Projects: Because the individual or team is a subject matter expert they will be able to get to work much quicker than a new team member you’d need to onboard.

Adaptable and Flexibile Workers: I’ve found these subject matter experts are highly skilled and adaptable. Most importantly, they address problems quickly because they are so ingrained in their industry and know how to create solutions quickly!

Freed Up Time and Energy: Outsourcing to skilled subject matter experts frees up time to focus on your core competences, develop your services or products, give necessary attention and support to your inhouse team and enhance your brand.

Hiring Across Country: Outsourcing allows you to search for and hire subject matter across the country.

Investment in Community: You get to invest in people doing what they love!

So, I say if you’re in need of specialized services and you do not have a BIG budget to hire employees, OUTSOURCE. As a nonprofit leader without expertise in accounting, I decided to hire The Charity CFO to manage our accounting. I highly recommend them!
