Partnering with Shaw Gibbs means we act as your finance team. Our services can easily be scaled up or down depending on your business needs.

Clients decide to outsource services for a number of reasons and the benefits derived from outsourcing are not exclusively financial. Our clients vary in size from start-up through to larger limited companies and subsidiaries of overseas-owned companies.

Our agile outsourced offering means that you are able to scale-up or down the services you outsource to us, providing you with value for money and greater control over back office functions.

We have an extensive network of contacts who we can draw on to assist in other areas of outsourcing such as: IT, telecoms, serviced offices, law, banking and commercial property.
