Frequently Asked Questions

Outsourced accounting services involve handing day-to-day finance tasks, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, management accounts, and year-end filings to a specialist external team. Stellarwiz manages these functions remotely, working within your existing software, so your business gets accurate records and full HMRC compliance without hiring in-house staff.

UK businesses outsource accounting to save time, reduce costs, and stay compliant with HMRC and Making Tax Digital requirements. It removes the burden of recruiting, training, and managing an in-house finance team, while giving owners accurate, up-to-date numbers to make decisions with confidence.

Costs depend on the services needed, transaction volume, and engagement model chosen. Stellarwiz offers four flexible options: Per Job, Per Hour, Fixed Hours, and Dedicated Resource, typically saving 40 to 50 percent compared to an equivalent UK in-house hire. A 10-hour free trial lets you assess fit first.

In most cases, yes. An in-house hire involves salary, National Insurance, pension contributions, software and training costs. Outsourcing to Stellarwiz typically costs 40 to 50 percent less than an equivalent UK hire, while giving you access to a wider team of qualified accountants and bookkeepers.

Most finance functions can be outsourced, including bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, management accounts, year-end accounts and corporation tax, accounts payable and receivable, company secretarial work, and accounting system migration. Stellarwiz handles each of these within your existing Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage setup.

Outsourcing gives you accurate, timely financial records, reduced overheads, and access to ACCA, CA, CMA, CIMA, and CIPFA qualified professionals without the cost of hiring them directly. It also frees up time so you can focus on running and growing your business, rather than managing the books yourself.

Stellarwiz handles all client data under GDPR-compliant processes, with encrypted transmission and strict access controls. Our UK-registered company sets the compliance standards, while our India-based delivery team operates within those same security protocols, so your financial information stays protected throughout.

Yes. Stellarwiz is software-agnostic and works within whatever system you already use, including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Zoho, and FreeAgent. There is no need to migrate platforms first. Our team logs into your existing setup, so you keep full visibility and control of your accounts at all times.

Yes. Stellarwiz works across Xero, QuickBooks (certified), Sage, Zoho, FreeAgent, Capium, BrightPay, Moneysoft, and VT Software, among others. Whatever platform your business runs on, our team can work directly within it or support a migration if you are considering switching systems.

Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of transactions, bank reconciliations, and maintaining accurate ledgers. Accounting builds on that data, producing management accounts, year-end statements, tax returns, and financial analysis. Stellarwiz provides both, so your records and your reporting always stay connected and accurate.
