Join the Automation Nation
(Yes, Even for Staffing)
Staffing is still an issue in most accounting firms. And while everyone’s scrambling to find talent, the smartest firms are doing something different. They’re leaning hard into automation to not simply fill the gaps, but to fix the problem.
There are four solid reasons why automation is a non-negotiable in your firm. And yes, this totally includes insourced staff. Actually, especially your insourced staff.
The Big Four (Not that Big Four…)
It solves actual problems. No more wasting time on clunky workflows, manual tasks and repetitive junk that just drags everyone down. Automation helps streamline those bottlenecks so you’re not stuck in the past doing everything by hand.
It plays nice with others. Modern automation tools talk to each other. That means you can build integrated tech stacks that handle the busywork for you. No more “system hopping” or downloading/uploading a zillion things manually.
It lets you scale without the burnout. Want to grow without hiring a dozen people you can’t find anyway? Automated workflows let your team handle more work with fewer headaches so you can scale smart, not just fast.
It gives your people their time back. When automation handles the routine stuff, your team can focus on higher-value work (the kind that actually moves the needle and makes clients happy).
So what does this have to do with insourced staffing? Everything.
You want to work with a staffing partner who gets automation. Why? Because that partner isn’t just throwing people at your problems. They’re handing you people who are empowered with the right tools. That means better workflow, better outcomes and a much better ROI.
A Real-World Win
Let’s talk about one of my favorite examples:
A firm (just like yours) came to Staffing Global with a daily task nightmare. They had 45 reports that had to be manually downloaded, manipulated and uploaded every single day.
Cue: screaming into a pillow.
But Staffing Global came in with a combo of automation tools and AI bots that transformed the whole process. The reports were auto-handled, so there were no more manual downloads, uploads or repetitive clicks. That firm instantly got back 5.5 hours a day and saved $20,000 a year. Boom!
Automation + Insourcing = A Whole New Level
Here’s what happens when you combine automation with a smart staffing strategy:
Productivity jumps. No more wasting time on repetitive tasks. Your team can focus on actual accounting.
Fewer mistakes. When you ditch the manual data entry, the risk of human error drops big time.
Cost savings you can reinvest. Save money and use it to upskill your team or invest in new tech.
Happier staff. Nobody loves doing repetitive grunt work. Automation frees your team to do the strategic, relationship-driven work they’re passionate about.
Your Next Move Toward Smarter Staffing
At the end of the day, automation is how you build a firm that works smarter, not harder, even when you're growing fast and bringing on insourced help.
You can’t hire your way out of this talent shortage. But you can automate your way forward.
Find a staffing partner (like Staffing Global) that doesn’t just send you people, but brings automated solutions to the table. That’s how you build a modern firm that thrives in today’s crazy market.
