Reduced Back-Office Costs by 70% with Dedicated Remote Team
How a regional services company reduced back-office costs by 70% while improving accuracy and speed with AB7 Solutions' dedicated remote team.
Client
Regional US Services Company (200+ employees)
Engagement
Ongoing - 10+ months
The challenge
What the client was up against.
A professional services firm with 200+ employees had a 15-person back-office team handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, payroll processing, and HR administration. Their in-house team cost $850,000/year in salary and benefits. Processing times were slow (10-day invoice processing), accuracy was inconsistent, and employee turnover was high (4 people/year). They needed to reduce costs while improving efficiency.
The solution
How AB7 deployed.
AB7 Solutions displaced 7 of the 15 in-house positions with 5 dedicated remote professionals covering AP, AR, bookkeeping, and payroll. The remaining 8 in-house staff focused on compliance, exceptions, and relationship management. AB7 implemented workflow automation (RPA for invoice matching), integrated with their accounting system (QuickBooks), and provided 24-hour processing SLAs.
