Achieve Zero Findings with an Outsourced Accounting/Audit Manager
An audit finding isn’t just a paperwork problem. It signals to your board, your regulator, and your stakeholders that something in your financial governance wasn’t working the way it should have been.
Most organisations that receive significant audit findings might have been managing them without the right level of oversight in place. An accounting/audit manager brings the senior-level financial rigour that prevents findings from occurring rather than requiring explanations after the fact.
Hiring that experience locally at a rate that fits your budget is the challenge most organisations face. That’s why with Outsourced Staff, you can easily and affordably recruit an accounting/audit manager who provides the financial oversight your organisation needs to close every audit clean.
Regulatory and compliance demands remain a top concern for finance leaders worldwide.
Offshoring gives you immediate and easy access to an accounting and audit manager who understands financial statement preparation, internal control frameworks, audit methodology, and the reporting standards that apply to your organisation.
They work within your finance function, apply your accounting policies, and deliver the management oversight your financial governance requires at a cost that makes the engagement workable without compromise.
Businesses are investing more in governance and risk management to avoid penalties and reputational damage. Strong internal controls and experienced audit oversight reduce the likelihood of costly findings.
Outsourcing strengthens those controls. Instead of reacting to auditor feedback, your outsourced accounting/audit manager proactively reviews processes, reconciliations, and financial reports.
Issues are identified early. Documentation is prepared in advance. Audit readiness becomes routine rather than reactive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an accounting/audit manager do?
An accounting/audit manager oversees financial reporting, manages audit processes, and strengthens internal controls.
They review reconciliations, supervise accounting teams, and ensure compliance with reporting standards. Their role reduces the risk of audit findings and financial errors.
What is the difference between an accounting manager and an audit manager?
An accounting manager focuses on the day-to-day financial reporting function: managing the close process, overseeing the preparation of financial statements, and ensuring that accounting policies are applied correctly and consistently.
An audit manager focuses on the assurance function: assessing whether internal controls are operating effectively, identifying financial and operational risks, and managing the audit process from planning through to finalisation.
In many organisations, particularly smaller ones, these functions are combined into a single senior role. Outsourced Staff can match your organisation with a specialist whose experience profile aligns with the specific balance of accounting and audit management your business requires.
How does an audit manager help an organisation prepare for an external audit?
An audit manager leads a structured preparation process that begins well before the audit fieldwork starts.
This includes reviewing the prior year management letter for unresolved findings, updating and testing internal controls, completing an analytical review of financial statements, preparing audit workpapers in advance, and briefing the finance team on what to expect during the audit.
What accounting standards should an outsourced accounting manager be familiar with?
In Australia, the primary financial reporting standards are the Australian Accounting Standards (AASB), which are largely equivalent to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The specific standards most relevant to an accounting manager include AASB 9 (Financial Instruments), AASB 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), AASB 16 (Leases), and AASB 136 (Impairment of Assets).
For not-for-profit organisations, the AASB has issued specific guidance that differs from the for-profit framework. Outsourced Staff assesses candidates for knowledge of the standards applicable to your organisation’s reporting environment.
Can an outsourced audit manager manage internal audit as well as external audit coordination?
Yes. Internal audit and external audit coordination are distinct functions, but both typically fall within the scope of a senior audit manager.
Internal audit involves assessing the effectiveness of internal controls, identifying risks, and reporting findings and recommendations to management and the audit committee.
External audit coordination involves managing the relationship with the external auditor, facilitating fieldwork, responding to queries, and reviewing the draft audit report before finalisation.
