Considering Cloud Migration?

Moving over to cloud based property software is always one of our key recommendations.  It enables the largest outsourcing saving possibility to you.

common questions to trust outsourcing

Why outsource our trust accounting?

There are many benefits to your agency.  You'll receive expert level services, and be assured of retained compliance moving forwards - all without the stress. 

Of course, a key driver is you can expect a significant cost saving over having an in-house trust accountant.

Contact us and we'll discuss the other benefits.

Do you work under our brand?

Always.  Your clients will only ever interact with you, or with representatives of your brand. 

There are actually only limited circumstances where we interact with your clients for you, and always under your brand.  This will have been explained and agreed with you up front. 

You remain in control.

Will you communicate with our landlords and tenants directly? (Rental trust)

No this is not recommended.  Their relationship is with your team.

However we will assist your team to understand all queries fully so they can confidently communicate to your clients. 

In very unusual circumstances we will contribute to a conference call with you and the client.

Our team are used to having an in-house resource. How will this work?

We're here to answer your questions, promptly, via our support portal.  This is the most efficient method for both your team and us.

However, if the request is a little more complicated, we pick up the phone to call you to discuss further.

When we are audited, will you be available?

Of course.  Firstly, our processes are designed to resolve all issues and prevent auditor queries.  If anything unusual has occurred, we make detailed notes for your auditor and the authority body in your state. 

We are available to assist you with auditor queries as required.

How do we get started?

It is simple.  First we discuss your requirements and how you operate before a plan is put together that we both agree to. 

Then it is simply a matter of you granting the appropriate access to our team depending on your request. 

Our most senior team members always onboard each new client, and in no time at all we'll be an integrated extension of your in-house team.

How are you different?

Our new clients often tell us that we're a refreshing change from prior outsourcing experiences.

Contact us for a quote, or just to have a chat, and we'll explain what we do to earn that praise.

Some of our team members don't understand trust accounting - can you help?

Don't worry, this is not at all unusual.  We are strong believers that your team needs a solid baseline trust understanding in order to provide the best service to your clients.

For this reason, assistance for your team forms part of our standard service.

Our system enables us to track and identify common queries.  Then, if we see a trend, we'll discuss with you and propose a training plan (team or individual) that meets any specific items needed.  This targeted approach is very cost effective and minimises disruption for you.
