Outsourced service
Back Office Outsourcing
Back office work is invisible until it is late. Outsourced processing keeps documents, claims, orders, and reconciliation moving to a defined turnaround rather than whenever someone finds time.

Common questions about outsourcing back office outsourcing.
Our staff handle rules-based processing: receiving, classifying, and indexing documents, data entry with validation, claims and application processing to your criteria, order entry and amendments, and matching records for reconciliation. Anything that does not fit the rules is flagged as an exception and sent to you with the details. What stays with you is judgment and authority: approving payments, deciding exceptions, setting the criteria, signing off accounts, and anything requiring a license or professional sign-off. A useful test is whether the task can be written as steps with a clear right answer. If it can, it is a candidate.
Start by sending only what the task requires. Access is granted by role, staff work inside your systems where possible so records are not copied elsewhere, and confidentiality terms are agreed before work begins. The rules that apply depend on the data. If documents contain protected health information, HIPAA requires a Business Associate Agreement and minimum necessary access. If you are a financial institution, the GLBA Safeguards Rule covers how your customer data is protected. Card data falls under PCI DSS and is best kept out of back office queues entirely. Tell us the data types during scoping, and confirm your obligations with your counsel.
That is the normal starting point. After the discovery call, a project manager sits with the people who do the work today, watches real items being processed, and writes the steps down, including the unwritten rules about odd cases. You review that document and correct it. Staff are then trained on it and begin with a supervised batch, with every item or a heavy sample checked, until error patterns are understood and fixed. The written procedure is yours to keep. It is useful on its own, since it removes dependence on the one employee who knew the process.
Staff need access to whatever the work runs in: your document management system, ERP or order system, claims platform, accounting software such as QuickBooks or NetSuite, shared mailboxes, and any portals used along the way. We ask for named user accounts with the narrowest permissions that let the task be done, not shared logins, so every action can be traced to a person. Approval rights and payment release should stay with your staff. If your systems require a VPN, a virtual desktop, or multi-factor authentication, that is set up during the strategy stage before training starts. You can revoke any account at any time.
Yes. Back office volume tends to arrive in waves: month-end and year-end close, enrollment or renewal seasons, a claims surge after an event, or a backlog that built up during a staff shortage. A one-time backlog can run as project support with a defined scope and timeline, while recurring work suits dedicated staff or a managed team that scales up or down. Processing does not have to happen during your office hours, so work submitted at the end of your day can progress overnight. Turnaround targets for normal and peak periods are defined during scoping, along with how much notice a peak needs.
Accuracy is managed with validation rules at entry, a second-person check on a sample of completed items, and a full check on new staff and new task types until results are steady. Errors are logged by type so the cause can be fixed, whether that is a gap in the procedure, an unclear source document, or a training need. Reporting covers throughput, turnaround, error rate, and the exception queue, on the rhythm agreed up front. The accuracy and turnaround targets themselves are set with you during scoping. Exceptions go to a named person on your side, with an agreed time for reply so items do not stall.
Ask how they document a process they have never seen, and ask to see an example procedure. Ask how quality is checked and what happens when an error is found after delivery. Ask who manages the staff day to day and whether the same people stay on your work. Ask how access is granted and removed, and whether they will work inside your systems. Ask how exceptions reach you and what happens when you are slow to answer. A small pilot on one well-defined process tells you more than a proposal, and it is a reasonable thing to request.
It is the wrong decision when the process changes every week, when most items need a judgment call only your experienced staff can make, or when nobody can describe the rules well enough to write them down. It is also worth pausing if the task exists only because of a broken system or a duplicate data entry step, because fixing or automating that may remove the work altogether. Very low volumes rarely justify the setup effort. And if regulation or a client contract requires the work to be done by your own employees or in a particular location, check that before going further.
