We find ourselves often talking with clients about the benefits of outsourcing and using a solution like Easy Office. One thing that we frequently talk about is the idea that you are getting a team, not just an individual. An accounting department requires a variety of skills - someone who knows the ins and outs of the system - be it Quickbooks or otherwise, someone who can perform financial analysis, someone who can read and interpret financial statements, someone who knows the intricate IRS rules on grant allocations, etc.
Often non-profits can struggle to find all of that in a single person. If you get someone overly qualified, they get bored doing the day to day bookkeeping. If you get somoene who is great at data entry and bookkeeping, you may sacrifice quality in the higher level, more complex tasks. Outsourcing to a team-based service provider, instead of outsourcing to an individual freelancer or consultant, can be a really good cost-effective way to get access to a whole variety of skills.
