About Custodian Backoffice

Who we work with

Companies earning between $2M and $30M annually in the Maritime, Road Transport and Architecture sectors.

We offer a full spectrum of financial management and control solutions...

Starting with a virtual CFO where we provide on-demand, top shelf strategic financial leadership services, ranging all the way to full-function outsourcing of your back-office transactional work.

Just as you need a solid base before you climb a ladder to reach the top shelf, your numbers need to be bullet proof to allow us to cast our projections forward with predictability. If you prefer we can take care of that for you.

We have the skills and experience to manage the payroll, accounts payable and receivable functions for your business and take a vested interest in the timely and accurate recording of transactions.

If you think we are just another accountant, you are not getting it.

For starters we don’t do tax returns. (Imagine if ear doctors were allowed to do open heart surgery). We have a vested interest in accelerating your business and turning your great operation into an even better business.

How? By putting you out in front of the daily grind and allowing you to see the future through the numbers, you have more time to make informed strategic decisions.

By having us by your side, as and when you need us, you can focus on what you do best. This leads to peace of mind by allowing you to focus on your customers’ needs and grow your business.
