FAQ

 
What is the benefit of outsourcing, rather than hiring an internal accountant for our company's financial handling?
 
Outsourcing is the most cost and time-effective method for a company to gain updated professional, high-end services that it cannot sustain internally. The principal advantage of outsourcing your financial service requirements lies in the greater flexibility the outsourcing model offers. Primarily, you save overhead cost on FTE (full time employees) by avoiding PTO, military reserves (in Israel), health/pension (401K) benefits, and paid holidays. Further, you can easily increase or decrease the required workload as needed, without having to restructure internal resources, layoff excess FTEs, manipulate employment contracts and stipulations, etc.
 
We already have an in-house financial comptroller and accountant. Why would we need your external services?
 
Brooks-Keret’s experience, serving over 250 companies in a variety of industries and fields, demonstrates that even companies with in-house financial personnel often don't have enough capacity–whether people or skills–to fully and adequately manage the comprehensive company financial activities. Brooks-Keret offers support by taking on some of this workload, thereby freeing your in-house financial staff to focus more effectively on strategic tasks growing your business. 30% of our clients have an in-house CFO/Controller, in addition to benefiting from our external services.
When necessary, we also provide high profile CFO services for small companies that employ an in-house controller.
 
Until what stage in our company's development would we use your services?
 
Brooks-Keret solutions maintain maximum flexibility aligned to the company's needs. We provide a range of modular services that can be tailored to fit the client's specific requirements. There is no time limit or "expiration date" after which our services would no longer be relevant. Many companies with in-house controller, bookkeeper, or any other financial management staff still benefit from outsourced financial services.
 
How are we involved in the process? How do we monitor and control the outsourced work?
 
Our operating method ensures that you have access to all data, reports, and information. We set up a system of networked computer terminals at our offices and at the client's location so that you have direct contact with the Brooks-Keret project manager assigned to oversee the services you have requested. You gain continuous and immediate access to all information regarding the services you receive. You are able to track the status of all activities, and maintain full control.

"… I was referred to Brooks-Keret by Ernst & Young (E&Y), who highly regarded Brooks-Keret’s performance and who was aware of our company's strict requirements and our German share-holders demands. Brooks-Keret provided us controlling and financial management services.
Brooks-Keret has been most efficient, professional, and immeasurably commitment. No one could expect for better service and attention. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Gil, Oren, Dafna and their staff.
As this was my first CEO position, Gil and his team performed as a financial mentor for me. Their experience and expertise guided our company to effective financial management in a challenging environment."
