  • Buy Back Your Time: How Entrepreneurs Can Outsource QuickBooks and Focus on What Really Matters

    You didn’t start a business to do bookkeeping.

    Let’s be honest — you started your business to build, sell, grow, and maybe even enjoy some freedom.

    But here you are, knee-deep in QuickBooks.

    You’re spending evenings chasing receipts, fixing mismatched transactions, and trying to remember what “bank feed rule” you set up three months ago.

    It’s time to stop.

    What if you could buy back those hours for just £4.99/hour?

    That’s what we offer at Your Team in Asia (YTA): a full-time QuickBooks-trained finance assistant, working UK hours, fully managed, and costing just £900/month.

    The Real Cost of Doing It Yourself

    You might think you’re saving money by handling the finances yourself — but every hour you spend in QuickBooks is an hour not spent:

    • Growing revenue
    • Talking to customers
    • Launching a new product
    • Building your team
    • Fundraising
    • Thinking strategically

    You’re not saving money. You’re trading growth for grunt work.

    What a Full-Time Assistant Can Do for You

    Your dedicated QuickBooks assistant can take full control of:

    ✅ Daily reconciliations and bank feeds
    ✅ Invoice creation and follow-up
    ✅ Payroll, pensions, and HMRC filings
    ✅ Expense and receipt management
    ✅ Weekly/monthly reports and dashboards
    ✅ VAT and end-of-year prep

    All while working full-time, just like any other team member — but offshore, affordable, and expertly managed.

    Real Example: From Chaos to Clarity

    A Shopify founder we work with was spending 12 hours a week inside QuickBooks. That’s 48 hours/month of high-value founder time lost.

    They hired a YTA offshore assistant. Within two weeks:

    • Reconciliations were up to date
    • Invoicing was streamlined
    • Payroll and VAT were off their plate
    • And most importantly — they reclaimed 12 hours/week

    Those 12 hours now go into email marketing, testing new product bundles, and reviewing ad performance. That’s real business growth.

    You Focus on Growth. We’ll Handle QuickBooks.

    At £4.99/hour, this is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make as a founder.

    • No faff with payroll or legal — we handle it.
    • No training worries — our talent already knows QuickBooks.
    • No micromanaging — we manage the assistant for you.

    You get your time back. You grow your business.

  • 5 Signs You’ve Outgrown Your Online Accountant (And What to Do Next)

    Online accountancy services like A-Wise, Crunch, or other fixed-fee platforms are great for startups and sole traders — they help you stay compliant, file returns, and avoid tax trouble.

    But as your business grows, those services often can’t keep up.

    If you’re constantly behind on bookkeeping, juggling spreadsheets, or explaining things to your accountant — it may be time to bring in a full-time finance assistant.

    Here are 5 signs you’ve outgrown your online accountant — and how a finance assistant can help you take back control.

    1. You’re doing more financial admin than actual work

    You didn’t start a business to become your own bookkeeper.

    If you’re spending hours each week on:

    • Chasing invoices
    • Organising receipts
    • Reconciling transactions
    • Preparing spreadsheets for your accountant

    …it’s time to delegate. A full-time finance assistant handles your day-to-day finance tasks — so you can focus on growth, not admin.

    2. You need weekly support, not monthly reports

    Online accountancy packages usually work around your inputs: you upload documents, they file reports. But if you don’t have time to prepare those inputs, it breaks down.

    A finance assistant can:

    • Keep your bookkeeping up to date daily
    • Reconcile accounts in Xero/QuickBooks
    • Prepare payroll and expenses
    • Help with supplier and client payment tracking

    This kind of ongoing support is beyond what fixed-fee services can offer.

    3. Your business is growing, and so is the complexity

    The more you grow, the more moving parts there are. Whether it’s ecommerce orders, client invoices, or payroll for a growing team — one-size-fits-all accountancy just doesn’t cut it.

    With a finance assistant, you can:

    • Stay on top of cash flow
    • Get monthly summaries prepared for your accountant
    • Keep your systems (Xero, Dext, PayPal, etc.) organised
    • Handle the detail work before it snowballs

    4. You want support, not just submissions

    You need someone who’s in the business — not someone who pops up once a quarter to file a return.

    A YTA finance assistant is:

    • Full-time (45 hours/week)
    • Aligned to UK working hours
    • Trained in UK finance tools
    • Fully dedicated to your business

    They’re not a service provider. They’re your team member — just based offshore.

    5. You’re not ready to hire in the UK — but you still need help

    Hiring in-house can cost £30k+ per year. And that’s before pensions, NI, or overheads.

    With YTA, you get:

    • A full-time, experienced finance assistant
    • For just £900/month
    • Working securely, with your systems and your workflows

    It’s cost-effective, scalable, and stress-free.

    ✅ The Next Step: Hire Your Full-Time Finance Assistant

    If your business is too big for fixed-fee accounting and too busy for DIY finance admin — you’re exactly who we help.

    At YTA, we provide trained, English-speaking, full-time finance assistants who work directly for you, remotely from Sri Lanka, starting at just £900/month.
