The secret to gaining 10 hours every week (without hiring in-house)

Today I'll introduce you to Alex, the owner of a mid-sized accounting firm in the U.K.

Six months ago, he was struggling.

Between handling client calls, reviewing deliverables, and chasing deadlines, his to-do list had become a source of stress.

He tried to hire in-house staff, but every attempt either added to the chaos or ate into the firm's profits.

Does this sound familiar?

Then came the moment that changed everything.

Alex decided to try something he’d been hesitant about for years: offshoring.

Here’s a look at how his week changed - dramatically - after just one month of of partnering with Peakvisory Accountants.

How His Week Used to Look Like Before Offshoring

I was very curious to know how Alex spends his week, so I asked him. Here's what he told me:

Monday: He starts the day by responding to an inbox flooded with client emails. A major client’s tax return is due, and his overwhelmed team hasn’t touched it yet.

Tuesday: Another team member calls in sick. Alex steps in to review a client’s bookkeeping himself, putting his strategy meeting on hold.

Wednesday: A new client signs up - good news! But the excitement fades as Alex realises there’s no capacity to onboard them properly.

Thursday: The in-house team has fallen behind on reconciliations, forcing Alex to stay late to clean things up.

Friday: Alex spends his “day off” fixing errors in a payroll submission. He ends the week exhausted, behind schedule, and questioning whether he can grow the practice without burning out.

That looks like a chaotic week, innit?

The Turning Point: He Decided to Offshore

After another stressful Friday, Alex decided to try offshoring. He set up a two-month trial for ad-hoc tasks—just enough to test the waters.

Here’s what he handed over:

• Daily bookkeeping and reconciliations.
• Basic payroll processing.
• Administrative tasks like email follow-ups and document organization.

His Week After He Offshored his Extra Load to Us

Monday: Instead of starting the day buried in emails, Alex reviews the previous week’s financials - already reconciled by his offshore team. With clear insights, he’s able to make strategic decisions.

Tuesday: Alex spends time crafting a proposal for a high-value client. Meanwhile, his offshore team is onboarding a new client by following a checklist he created.

Wednesday: A major deadline looms, but Alex isn’t worried. His offshore team has completed the prep work ahead of schedule. For the first time in months, Alex spends the afternoon networking instead of firefighting.

Thursday: Client calls fill the morning, but Alex feels lighter. His offshore team has already resolved minor queries that would’ve otherwise interrupted him.

Friday: Alex ends the week with a sense of calm. Instead of fixing errors or chasing tasks, he’s planning how to expand his firm’s service offerings.

What Changed?

• Clarity. By offloading repetitive tasks, Alex freed up his time for high-value activities.
• Confidence. Knowing there’s a reliable team handling the day-to-day allowed Alex to focus on growth.
• Control. With clear communication and structured workflows, Alex stayed in the loop without micromanaging.

Is Offshoring Right for You?

If you’re constantly overwhelmed by operational work, here’s why offshoring might be the answer:

• Cost-Effective Scaling: Grow your team without the overhead of hiring in-house.
• Time for Strategy: Focus on growing your practice instead of managing daily chaos.
• Flexibility: With an ad-hoc trial, you can test the waters without a long-term commitment.

Try It for Two Months, Risk-Free

I understand that offshoring can feel like a leap of faith. That’s why Peakvisory Accountants offer a two-month ad-hoc trial.

Start small, hand over a few tasks, and see how it transforms your week.

You might be surprised by how much easier your life becomes.

Does Your Week Look Like Alex's?

Alex’s story isn’t unique.

Many practice owners feel trapped in the grind of day-to-day operations, unable to see a way out.

But here’s the thing: offshoring isn’t about giving up control - it’s about gaining it.

If gaining 10 extra hours a week sounds like something you need, why not take the first step?

Your time is too valuable to waste.

Let’s help you spend it wisely.

Until next time,
