Topics:
- Deciding what tasks to delegate to offshore team members

- How offshoring has benefitted clients
Quotes:
It gives me a lot of optimism for the future, knowing that we can scale up our final team in advisory work and managing client relationships in the future. So it does give us that confidence that we can go out there and continue to grow the business in a big way and not have to worry as much about resourcing moving forward.
Where we see it being is a sky’s-the-limit approach, which is can they drive client relationships? Can they really drive, for example, could they run a CFO meeting? Really, really trying to flex our muscles as much as possible over the coming period so that we really extract the best out of what we see to be a really functional and talented offshore team.
The biggest is that clients are going to hate it and that they will have a massively bad objection to it. That hasn’t been our experience … In instances where the clients are liaising with our offshore team directly and speaking with them directly, in our experience they’ve been quite happy to do so.
