Accounting BPO

A well-structured accounting function is essential for the success of any company. It ensures numerical accuracy, supports tax burden reduction, provides data for audits and inspections, and helps prevent unpleasant surprises related to accounting and tax contingencies.

To transform accounting into a competitive advantage, it is necessary to go beyond simply delivering tax obligations. This is where Accounting BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) comes in.

This solution involves outsourcing accounting routines, generating reports, and supporting business owners, controllers, CFOs, directors, and managers with data analysis, helping them identify opportunities for growth, financial efficiency, and cost reduction.

Frequently asked questions

When is the right time to outsource accounting?

If managing your company’s accounting is becoming increasingly difficult, it may be time to consider outsourcing.

One of the key advantages of outsourcing is gaining access to advanced technology and specialized knowledge. It can also be more cost-effective than hiring and managing an in-house team for all accounting tasks.

If you’re busy running other areas of your business, lack sufficient accounting expertise, are noticing recurring errors, or struggling to keep up with changing tax regulations, outsourcing may help you avoid risks and ensure compliance.

Additionally, if your business is growing quickly and accounting is becoming more complex, outsourcing can help you keep up with that growth while maintaining accuracy and control.

What are the main benefits of Accounting BPO?

With Bernhoeft, you gain a strategic and productive accounting BPO partner. Our team is not divided into departments — instead, we work in dedicated service cells, each composed of specialists in different accounting areas.

These cells are responsible for a portfolio of clients and become highly specialized in specific industries, allowing us to serve companies of all sizes and sectors with excellence.

Outsourcing with us not only gives you access to our processes and professionals, but also to our technology and agile workflows. You can reduce costs with infrastructure and team management, while gaining greater security and higher-quality accounting processes.

This makes your business more efficient, competitive, and prepared for long-term growth.

What technology is used in the Accounting BPO?

We provide accounting advisory services using technology to ensure the security, speed, and accuracy of managed information.

We offer flexible operations — we can work using Bernhoeft’s platform or the client’s system, including ERP software such as SAP, Oracle, TOTVS, Sankhya, or any other system capable of exporting files to meet tax authority requirements.

When we manage your accounting in our own system, we use tools that automatically capture incoming and outgoing electronic invoices (NF-e and CT-e), track pending items, generate electronic clearance certificates (CNDs), and automate various processes.

Our client portal provides access to current and historical documents — including accounting reports, tax documents, and payroll-related records (when we manage those BPO services as well).

Through our dashboard, you have access to graphs and key financial indicators, allowing for more comprehensive financial analysis. You can use the data for short, medium, and long-term planning, with insights such as liquidity ratios, profitability charts, and financial breakdowns.

We are continuously improving our services with new tools and technologies to ensure maximum client satisfaction.

How is the service transition handled?

When you outsource your accounting to us, you receive full support throughout the transition.

We begin with an onboarding meeting to understand your company’s operations, internal processes, relevant controls, timelines, and procedures — all to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.

Based on the documents received, we configure the accounting system, set up cost centers, import prior balances, and work to enable the integration of financial data between your ERP and our platform.

In parallel, we’ll provide checklists of the documents to be archived by your company, what the previous provider should send to us, and what we’ll need from you monthly to keep records up to date.

Our team also provides training to ensure your staff can use the online platform efficiently and help managers extract valuable accounting insights.

What does day-to-day support look like?

Our service is delivered by a specialized team of experienced professionals. We also have tech experts on hand to ensure our platform remains up to date and fully functional.

To support international clients, part of our team is bilingual, enabling us to serve both local and foreign clients seamlessly.

We offer multiple communication channels — phone, email, and chat — so you can reach us in the most convenient way for you.

Our goal is to deliver high-quality service with personalized, efficient support and a technology-driven platform that ensures speed, security, and compliance.
