What is Outsourced Accounting?

In-house vs outsourced accountant in the Czech Republic & EU – illustration comparing a single accountant with a professional accounting team.

Outsourced accounting is the practice of delegating bookkeeping and financial management tasks to an external provider such as AMS. For businesses in the Czech Republic and across the EU, outsourcing has become a proven way to reduce costs, expand capacity, solve staffing shortages, and remain compliant with both local and international accounting standards. This method of outsourcing is particularly relevant to accounting tasks.

The trend accelerated after the 2008 financial crisis, when companies were forced to optimize costs to survive. Today, many Czech and European businesses still face the challenge of finding qualified accountants. Outsourcing offers a flexible, reliable, and cost-effective alternative.

Clients of AMS Europe typically report cost savings of 40–60% while achieving even higher quality of financial reporting. Beyond reducing expenses, outsourcing gives firms access to expert knowledge of Czech accounting law (Act No. 563/1991 Sb. on Accounting, Act No. 586/1992 Sb. on Income Taxes), České účetní standardy (ČÚS), EU regulations, and IFRS standards.
