Services

Three service lines, one point of contact

Every business has different requirements. Saramis Global runs three service lines, each built for a different stage of growth: Bookkeeping & Accounting, Audit Support, and Tailored Finance Solutions. Compare them below, then book a discovery call for the one that fits.

See what each service line covers

Bookkeeping & Accounting covers the books your business runs on day to day. Audit Support covers the file your statutory auditor tests. Tailored Finance Solutions covers a standing finance team.

All three run through the same review structure and reach you through one point of contact. What differs is the endpoint: a closed month, a tested audit file, or a standing finance team.

What each line delivers, who reviews it, and when it runs

The 3 cards above describe each line in its own terms. The panel below puts them side by side on the 4 points a buyer compares before a call: the deliverable, the reviewer, the cadence, and the first fit.

Bookkeeping & Accounting

Core deliverable
Books closed every month: ledgers reconciled, AP and AR current, reporting finalised.
Who reviews before delivery
A Chartered Accountant reviews each close before it reaches you.
Typical cadence
Monthly. The close lands by working day 5.
Fits first
A business still waiting on last month's numbers.

Audit Support

Core deliverable
An audit file ready for testing: working papers and lead schedules in your firm's own format.
Who reviews before delivery
The same review structure applies; your appointed statutory auditor then tests the file and signs the report.
Typical cadence
Seasonal. Work tracks your audit calendar and peaks at year-end.
Fits first
An accounting firm carrying a year-end peak.

Tailored Finance Solutions

Core deliverable
A standing team scoped to the engagement, from one finance function to GCC-level capability.
Who reviews before delivery
The engagement manager signs off within the dedicated team.
Typical cadence
Continuous. Cadence is set in the scope at the start of the engagement.
Fits first
A finance leader building capacity, GCC setups included.

Which service line fits which situation

Match the situation, not the job title.

A fixed statutory deadline and not enough hands. Audit Support fits: the work follows the audit calendar rather than a monthly cycle, so capacity arrives for the peak instead of sitting on payroll all year.

A close that slips later every month. Bookkeeping & Accounting fits: the books move onto a published monthly rhythm with a named working-day deadline instead of a moving target.

A finance function to build rather than a task to hand off. Tailored Finance Solutions fits: the engagement is scoped around a dedicated team, and GCC setups sit inside this line.

A situation that touches two lines at once. Common enough to have a standard answer. Raise both problems on the discovery call, and the resulting scope draws a boundary between the lines instead of forcing a choice.

A wrong first pick costs a conversation, not a contract. The discovery call exists to test the routing before any scope is signed. The same call settles the commercial shape: fixed fee, block hours, dedicated staff, or part-time staff. Pick the one your finance function already budgets for.

What to expect

Two commitments behind every engagement

One covers how fast the month closes. The other covers how fast a question gets answered.

5

Month-end close by working day 5

4

Query responses within 4 business hours

What the numbers mean

Working day 5 is a calendar fact, not an aspiration: the books for a month are closed and reported inside the first 5 working days of the next. And 4 business hours means a question raised mid morning has an answer the same working day, not a place in a queue.

Published, not quoted privately

Providers in this category rarely publish their own turnaround figures; phrases like "fast turnaround" stand in for numbers. Saramis Global publishes both figures here rather than quoting them privately, so every client works to the same standard across all 3 service lines.

FAQ

Choosing a service line: 4 quick answers

Each answer routes to the page that owns the detail.

Can service lines combine in one engagement?

Yes. The 3 service lines combine under one point of contact and one scope document. One pairing: Bookkeeping & Accounting through the year, with Audit Support added when the statutory audit starts. The scope names where each line stops.

Where does an engagement start when the fit is unclear?

With a discovery call. Describe the situation and the deadline; the reply is a written scope naming the line, or lines, that apply, plus the engagement model that carries it. The six-step path from that first call is published at How an engagement moves from first call to delivery.

Do the two commitments above apply to every service line?

Yes, with one distinction. The query-response figure covers every engagement without exception. The month-end close figure applies wherever Saramis Global runs the close, which means every Bookkeeping & Accounting engagement and any dedicated team that owns one.

Which service line covers a statutory audit?

Audit Support. It carries the file your appointed statutory auditor tests, with support running through to the signing of the audit report. The signature itself never moves: the client's own statutory auditor signs, not Saramis Global.
