Outsource Finance Administration Assistants

What is a finance administrative assistant?

A finance administrative assistant is responsible for providing support to different stakeholders by handling various tasks to ensure that all organisational interactions are completed efficiently and effectively. They are the backbone of an organisation and handle many time-consuming and transactional tasks management does not have time to complete.

Administrative assistant duties and tasks can include:

General administrative tasks including filing, generating reports, scheduling meetings and taking minutes, and ordering suppliers

Using systems and software to create reports, presentations and conduct research

Liaise with visitors, clients and customers

Anticipate the needs of management and stakeholders to ensure seamless organisational flow is maintained.

These administrative tasks are particularly well-suited to being outsourced as they are repetitive and rules-based, often requiring multitasking skills. Organisations free up their local finance teams’ time by sending these administrative tasks to outsourced administrative assistants. This allows your onshore team to focus on nurturing client relationships and performing revenue generating work.

Finance administrative assistants are the foundation of businesses, providing additional support to organisational departments to meet KPIs and reporting requirements. They are a critical support role to any successful manager, and there are specific skills needed to become a great administrative assistant.

Outsourcing services recruit administrative assistants the same way an internal talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

What experience and knowledge do you have anticipating an organisation's administrative needs, its departments, or your managers?
What are your time management skills like?
How do you ensure excellent communication, both written and verbal, across the many different reporting lines?
What organisation techniques do you use to ensure information is updated and maintained?
Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
What tools and systems are you familiar with?

A higher education degree or certificate in business administration is desirable in terms of qualifications. Administrative assistants require high level problem-solving and interpersonal skills. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation’s administrative requirements:

Whether you are looking to train an administrative assistant from the ground up and teach them your business's way of doing things, or
Whether you are seeking expertise and a team of administrative assistants with certifications and higher education.
