Outsourced Accounting and Finance

We understand that growth and change can present challenges for businesses’ accounting and financial teams. That’s why we provide expert support to both start-up and mature companies, helping them implement or upgrade their accounting systems and handle trigger events like acquisitions. With our timely and accurate management information and financial reporting, businesses can run smoothly without the need for additional full-time accounting personnel. Private equity funds also benefit from our back-office support, including outsourced CFO services and direct portfolio company support.

Fund managers face a dilemma between direct hiring and outsourcing to meet their operational needs. However, with budgetary constraints making it difficult to build out a full back-office team, many are turning to us for our wider range of experience and ability to assume multiple duties and responsibilities. Our solutions are scalable, efficient, and value-driven, providing our clients with the support they need to achieve their goals.

Why clients choose us

Testimonial Icon
We closed an acquisition on December 1. By year-end, LBMC W Squared had fully integrated all of the acquired company’s records and accounting practices into our books. We closed December 31 with a completely integrated company and went through year-end audit on that basis. LBMC W Squared helped make everything very seamless.

As a former divisional controller of a Fortune 50 company, LBMC W Squared’s model is the best finance and accounting outsource that I have found. The level of service LBMC W Squared provides is incredible. I will never bring my finance and accounting in-house as long as LBMC W Squared’s service is available. In any future business endeavors, I will always outsource my finance and accounting department to LBMC W Squared.

Investor and Former Co-Head of investment banking and brokerage firm
Testimonial Icon
Row Associates was founded in early 2020. LBMC W Squared initially engaged with Row Associates by providing a fractional team and system that allowed us to focus on serving our clients and managing operations without the added stress of building a finance infrastructure out of the gate. They utilized technology, integrations and automation to work smarter, not harder, and proved that cloud based systems and a virtual accounting team can work as well or better than an in-house team. And most importantly, they gave us the right people and expertise to handle our needs and have been able to grow and scale with us.

Case Study: Finance and Accounting Outsourcing

Situation
A Nashville healthcare investment banking veteran decided to start a highly specialized strategic advisory firm just as COVID-19 began to impact business economies around the U.S. Starting a new business as the country was shutting down was not ideal, but they still needed a complete back office. They found one in LBMC W Squared’s outsourced finance and accounting solution and other LBMC business services.

Approach
LBMC W Squared was engaged as the client’s finance and accounting department to design and establish the cloud-based accounting, bill payment and expense reporting systems, develop policies and procedures and provide all accounting, procurement, accounts receivable and accounts payable functions. LBMC W Squared was able to stand up the new system, infrastructure and services in April and May, despite a national shut-down, by providing a virtual deployment.

Outcome
The client was able to open their office, bill their clients, pay their AP, and produce financial statements for operational and regulatory purposes. They reached steady state for monthly activity and financial close in under 6 months DURING a worldwide pandemic.  This rapid deployment and successful implementation would not have been possible without the expertise and professionalism of the LBMC W Squared team.
