When Finance slows things down, valuable time for what truly matters is lost.

Rapid growth, new entities, carve-outs, outsourcing, internationalization, regulatory requirements, staff shortages – the result is structural strain: delayed financial closings, increasing compliance risks, manual workarounds. Your business is held back, and agility is lost.

Typical symptoms:

  • Closings take longer – and become more prone to errors.
  • Teams are constantly working at their limits.
  • Systems are not integrated or do not fit the structure.
  • Existing ERP systems are oversized for small subsidiaries.
  • Reporting and compliance risks are increasing.
  • Spin-offs, carve-outs, or growth are overwhelming existing capacities.

Unstable finance processes sooner or later affect all areas of a company. However, there is often a lack of internal capacity or systems to stabilize these issues alongside day-to-day business.

This forms the basis for stable, low-risk finance operations: regardless of whether your company is growing, undergoing transformation, or needs temporary support in key positions.

Your advantage: A finance operating model that grows with you.

You are not outsourcing “accounting” – you are outsourcing instability. You gain:

  • Digital process reliability instead of manual workarounds,
  • Scalable structures for growth, carve-outs & international requirements,
  • Modern collaboration & full transparency.

Together, we work on a GDPR-compliant digital platform that structures your finance processes and makes them manageable for you – with:

  • Secure data room (confidential document exchange)
  • Centralized communication (all inquiries and questions in one place)
  • Task and deadline management (auto-reminders, calendar)
  • Real-time dashboard (transparent, tasks, deadlines, risks, responsibilities)

Result: Complete control – with minimal effort.

As markets, business models, and regulatory requirements become more dynamic, we ensure that your finance function becomes a business enabler rather than a bottleneck.

Why managed services now?

egulatory changes, faster reporting cycles, transparency requirements, international structures: complexity is increasing. Relying on manual processes and scarce resources exposes your company to the risk of errors, delays, and compliance issues. Baker Tilly Managed Services keep your finance stable – no matter where your business is headed.

One service. Everything taken care of. 

The pressure on Finance and Tax departments has been increasing for years: more complex regulatory requirements, shorter reporting cycles, international business models, and the ongoing shortage of skilled professionals are pushing traditional structures to their limits. Many companies are responding by outsourcing individual tasks or entire processes such as accounting, payroll, reporting services, or even engaging temporary support through CFO as a Service.

At the same time, companies aim to relieve their internal teams, reduce risks, and build a finance organization capable of flexibly reflecting growth, carve-outs, or new business models. This is precisely where Accounting Services and Business Process Outsourcing are gaining significant importance: they create stability and efficiency without the need to build up additional capacity within the company.

Stable finance processes through modern platforms and digital collaboration

A key advantage of modern managed services models lies in the technologies used. Baker Tilly works with GDPR-compliant collaboration platforms that enable structured, transparent, and secure communication and data exchange.

These include:

  • Secure data rooms for confidential documents,
  • A centralized communication platform that consolidates all queries and follow-up questions,
  • An integrated task and deadline management system with automatic reminders,
  • As well as dashboards providing real-time transparency on ongoing processes, risks, and responsibilities.

This infrastructure reduces media discontinuities, accelerates workflows, and enhances the reliability of information – an essential advantage for companies outsourcing their financial accounting or required to meet complex reporting obligations.

What are the advantages of managed services?

Where structures reach their limits, managed services create stability. The following case illustrates this in practice.

Scalability for every stage of a company’s development

Whether a start-up, a growing medium-sized company, or a global corporation: the requirements for Finance and Tax functions evolve at every stage. In early growth phases, speed and flexibility are often key, whereas in later stages scalability, compliance, and system integration become increasingly important.

Managed services enable companies to navigate these development stages without organizational or personnel bottlenecks. Businesses benefit from processes that are properly documented, standardized, and digitalized – and can therefore be expanded or adapted at any time. This makes them particularly attractive in situations such as:

  • Establishing new entities,
  • International expansion,
  • Reorganizations,
  • Carve-outs and post-merger integrations,
  • Or temporary capacity constraints within the finance team.

Efficiency, cost control, and risk reduction

Another reason why outsourcing models are gaining importance is clear cost transparency. Companies can decide strategically which processes should remain in-house and which can be handled more efficiently and reliably by an external partner.

At the same time, risk exposure decreases:

Sources of error resulting from manual activities are reduced, deadlines are reliably met, and the security and reliability of financial statements and reporting increase significantly. For many companies, this is a decisive advantage – particularly when operating in highly regulated environments or on an international scale.

Managed services as a building block of a future-ready finance organization

More and more companies no longer view managed services as mere “outsourcing,” but as a strategic component of a modern finance organization. It is not just about delegating operational tasks, but about establishing a robust, scalable, and digital operating model that supports growth and minimizes risk.

With modular services such as Accounting Services, Reporting Services, Business Process Outsourcing, or temporary solutions like Interim CFO Services, Baker Tilly provides a framework that flexibly adapts to a company’s needs – from relieving day-to-day operations to fully stabilizing and scaling the finance function.
