Shared vs Managed Accounting — What’s Right for You?

Shared Accounting Services vs Managed Accounting: What’s the Difference and What’s Right for You?

At Akiva, we often speak with firms unsure of what model suits them best - shared or fully managed accounting. 

Shared Accounting Services

You retain your internal accounting team, and we become your extended arm. Think: dedicated support for specific tasks like bank reconciliation, payroll, or monthly close, while you stay in control of oversight and client-facing communication.

Managed Accounting

This is a full-suite solution. Akiva handles end-to-end bookkeeping, reporting, and compliance - fully white-labeled, tech-aligned, and tailor-fit to your practice’s workflows. We become your back office, so you can focus on business, growth, and client relationships.

Both models offer:

✔️ Scalable delivery

✔️ Trained resources on UK & USA systems

✔️ Cost-efficiency and reliability

The right choice depends on your current team capacity, client load, and strategic goals.

Curious which structure suits your firm best? Let’s explore the right-fit model together.
