Outsourced Finance Department Pricing

The smarter alternative to hiring a finance manager. Whether you're outgrowing your bookkeeper, replacing in-house staff, or need senior strategic oversight without the six-figure salary, Scale Suite delivers a complete outsourced finance function with daily access, weekly cashflow tracking, and strategic guidance at a fraction of the cost.

Flexible monthly packages,
with a 30 day money back guarantee

Built for businesses that need to go beyond basic bookkeeping. You need weekly cashflow visibility, variance analysis, and someone who can model scenarios and support strategic decisions. But you don't need a $100K+ hire sitting in the office 40 hours a week.

Our outsourced finance packages deliver senior-level insight, weekly operational reporting, and full compliance, with daily access and team coverage, starting at $1,500/month versus $9K-$14K for internal hires (including all employment costs). Most clients invest $2,500-$6,000/month for a complete outsourced finance function.

Note

Every business is different. Pricing depends on transaction volume, employee count, number of entities, and the level of strategic support you need. The prices above are starting points. We'll send you a custom proposal within 24 hours of your free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does an outsourced finance department cost?

It depends on your business complexity, transaction volume, and the level of strategic support you need. Our finance packages start from $1,500/month for compliance and reporting (weekly bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, monthly reporting) and scale to $4,000+/month for senior strategic oversight including financial modelling, scenario planning, and board reporting. Most clients invest $2,500-$6,000/month for a complete outsourced finance function. We send a custom proposal within 24 hours of your free consultation.

How much does outsourced HR cost?

HR packages start from $500/month for people admin support including payroll review, remuneration benchmarking, and basic policy templates. Most growing businesses invest $1,000-$2,500/month for recruitment support, onboarding frameworks, and performance management. Our Fractional HR Director tier at $4,000/month covers strategic people leadership including org design, workforce planning, and leadership coaching. An in-house HR manager costs $90,000-$120,000+ annually including super, so outsourcing typically saves 70-85%.

Are there setup fees or long-term contracts?

No setup fees and no lock-in contracts. You can scale up, scale down, or cancel anytime with no penalties or notice periods. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try us risk-free for a full month. If you're not satisfied, you don't pay.

What is included in each finance pricing tier?

Compliance and Reporting from $1,500/month includes weekly bookkeeping, BAS and GST lodgement, Xero setup, payroll, monthly reporting, and daily access. Operations and Cashflow from $2,000/month adds weekly cashflow tracking, AP/AR management, KPI dashboards, and variance analysis. Finance Partner from $3,000/month adds budgeting, forecasting, and reporting packs with written commentary. Senior Strategic Oversight from $4,000/month adds financial modelling, scenario planning, profitability reviews, and board or investor reporting. Every tier includes daily access and responses within hours.

Can I change my package as my business grows?

Yes. You can add or remove services anytime as your needs change. Many clients start with bookkeeping and compliance then add cashflow tracking, reporting packs, and CFO oversight as they grow. No penalties for changing tiers and no lock-in periods. Our model is designed to scale with you.

How quickly can you get started?

Typically within one week. We book a free consultation, send a custom proposal within 24 hours, and begin onboarding immediately after sign-off. Unlike internal hires requiring a 3-month ramp-up, we assign a named team who know your business from day one and start delivering results in the first week.

How does Scale Suite compare to hiring a finance manager?

An in-house finance manager costs $95,000-$115,000 annually including super, leave, and on-costs, requires a 3-month recruitment and ramp-up period, and creates single-point-of-failure risk when they're on leave or resign. Scale Suite delivers a full finance team with weekly bookkeeping, payroll, BAS compliance, monthly reporting packs, and CFO oversight from $1,500/month with immediate impact, team coverage, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
