Issue 5 - The Outsource Insider – Your Biweekly Dispatch from Finsmart Accounting
Welcome to “The Outsource Insider”, dispatched to you biweekly by Finsmart Accounting, where we share insights, resources, and a little fun - designed for firms to grow with offshore talent.
🌍 The Global Edge
Creating an Inclusive Culture In Cross-Border Teams
“Those memories of spending time in the country with our teams will be something I cherish forever. It is very very fulfilling when someone you have spent years working with, maybe through a screen and you finally get a chance to meet with them, have a meal with them, share a beer with them, sing karaoke with them, it’s a really really powerful impact,” says Kenji Kuramoto, Founder of Acuity, in the 2nd episode of the Smart Outsourcing Talks podcast.
When Kenji sat down with Maanoj Shah, an offshoring expert and Co-Founder of Finsmart Accounting, he emphasized breaking the boundaries, especially in cross-border teams. Whether you do this in person or through screens, such rituals allow leaders to build stronger teams, take more ownership, and, most importantly, be aligned with the goals.
At Finsmart Accounting, that is the kind of rapport that we have built with our clients over the years. We are not just a third-party service provider; we are deeply integrated and embedded into their values, beliefs, and systems.
