Scrase Practice Support
Outsourced Accounts Preparation for Accountants
UK-based accounts preparation capacity for accountancy firms that need review-ready work without losing control of their client relationships, standards or final sign-off.
Review-ready work
Assignments completed to the agreed stage and returned with clear working papers for your review.
Your workflow
Work completed within your systems, templates and preferred review process wherever practical.
Accounts production capacity
Outsourced accounts preparation that works like part of your practice.
Outsourced accounts preparation can release experienced internal staff from routine production work while helping the practice maintain turnaround times during busy periods.
Scrase Practice Support provides flexible remote capacity rather than a fixed offshore team. The work, expected standard, software and handover point are agreed directly with you before the assignment begins.
Assignments can include
Limited company statutory accounts.
Sole trader and partnership accounts.
Balance-sheet reconciliations and supporting working papers.
Year-end adjustments and review-point preparation.
Corporation tax computations and CT600 preparation where agreed.
Clear queries for information still required from your team or client.
A clear handover and review process
1. Agree the brief
Confirm the entity, records, software, deadline, scope and point to which the work should be completed.
2. Prepare the assignment
Complete the agreed work within your systems and working-paper structure, raising concise queries where necessary.
3. Return for review
Provide the completed assignment to your practice for review, approval, client discussion and submission.
