The Corient payroll team have been nothing short of outstanding. Previously, I had outsourced payroll to a couple of UK companies and my experience was really poor. Having already used Corient for year-end accounts preparation, I decided to give them the opportunity and I am glad to say this was a great decision for my business. Special praise must go to the payroll manager. He and his team's attitude to getting things done right and in a timely fashion has been a huge benefit to…

The Chartwell Practice have been outsourcing a variety of work for some time, however, there was always a high level of frustration in the quality of work completed and communication between parties. After the initial contact with several potential outsourcers, Corient were the only ones who fully understood our past dilemmas and could assure a totally different approach. They were also the only people to offer references who backed up everything presented. With Corient, we have the resources to grow our practice in line with…

Read more Corient was recommended to me via some other Accountant practices that I know. I got in contact with them as I needed help with managing my compliance workload in my own practice. I am really impressed with the service that I have been receiving at Corient and I would happily recommend them for bookkeeping and year end services. All of the work has been completed to a great standard and I am relieved to know that I have them supporting me as I grow my…

We approached Corient in June 2020 just after the pandemic hit the UK, as we were struggling as a small practice with staffing. Having identified a large amount of time was being taken up in the payroll operations that were no longer cost-effective, we decided we needed to address this problem. We explored several options, and in the end, decided to give Corient a go. We approached Punit for discussions and realized that he was able to help us with other areas of our business, such as compliance work. Punit met with us to discuss how Corient operates, and we were given several businesses to contact to gauge their experiences, which gave us the reassurance to go ahead with engaging their services.
One of the challenges we faced was how to give Corient access to our files, as we were working from a local server and dialing into the office from home at the time. We solved this by setting up a remote cloud-based server, allowing both Corient and ourselves access. This now runs smoothly, and we treat our team from Corient as one of our staff members, having weekly workflow meetings. Having Corient onboard has really helped us, not only with managing our payroll services in a timely, cost-effective manner, but also with catching up on our accounts work. We are now able to manage our business more effectively, look ahead much more, and spend more time helping and advising our clients.
Our practice had grown considerably over the last 12 months, and the increase in workload was putting strain on the team. In the past, I had had several discussions and trials with outsourcing providers but had never been completely satisfied with the arrangement. When I first met with Punit, I was immediately struck by his enthusiasm and professionalism, and I am delighted to say that this has been backed up by the excellent service levels of Corient's payroll and accounts production teams.
We have been working with Corient now for four months, and work is turned around very quickly and accurately. Most importantly, the communication from the whole team is excellent. Queries or missing information are quickly notified to us, making the whole process from start to finish very efficient. My only regret is that we didn't start using Corient earlier, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other firms.
I am just dropping you a line to say thank you for your help and support in 2017. We certainly have had our challenges in the last year, but with your help, we have managed to deliver to the clients, which is of paramount importance.
Read more We have been dealing with the team at Corient for several years. By outsourcing the work to Corient, we have been able to spend more time with our clients, which has resulted in increased satisfaction and improved new business referrals as well. We no longer get worried when a new client walks in or there are deadlines to be met...
Read more When we first started working with Corient, we were only looking to outsource the "overflow" accounts preparation work and were a bit skeptical about the quality of work. I was pleasantly surprised to see the good quality work they have been able to deliver on time. Corient now helps us with the bookkeeping side of the business on a regular basis, effectively working as an extended arm of our practice. The relationship is similar to working with our own team members in the UK office…
Read more I was looking for a service provider who could take on the bookkeeping work on Xero software, which was taking quite a lot of my time. The senior member from Corient visited the office, understood all my requirements, and came back with a detailed proposal that covered all my concerns and deliverables. Corient has been consistently providing a very high standard of work within agreed time scales. I now feel far more confident that I am able to increase my business with Corient as my outsourcing partner.

We began working with Corient in 2016 and were immediately impressed with the efficiency and professionalism with which we were inducted into the company. Corient were very accommodating, and our offshore team were quick to pick up the tasks that we were asking them to perform for us. We held weekly web meetings with the team and found this a great way to discuss any issues or areas of new work. We used various Google Docs to collaborate, and the team completed monthly Xero workpapers for us, so we were always on top of the bookkeeping work.
In November 2017, I lost a key client manager and decided to test the offshore solution further. Until this point, we had been using bookkeepers and supervising the work from the UK with onshore client managers. Knowing that I couldn't handle the workload on my own, I decided to recruit through Corient for a qualified accountant to join the team.
I created further collaboration docs and detailed processes covering the work that we had been doing in the UK, and the team picked it up brilliantly! They were always on top of the work. I also created a shared mailbox, and our clients began submitting any documents not sent in via Receipt Bank into that mailbox. This mailbox was managed by the Corient team, and they began to communicate on our behalf with the clients regarding missing information for the bookkeeping tasks.
I sold the business in March 2018; however, there was no way I could have held it together to do that without Corient. I was as sad to say goodbye to them as I was to my onshore team!
We have been working with the extended team at Corient since 2015. In the lead-up to our formal relationship with them, we carried out a significant amount of due diligence, which included a site visit to their office in Mumbai. We were delighted with our findings and have been gradually growing our relationship with them since. It is great having their UK presence, as this gives us peace of mind as well as accountability of service.
The type of work Corient carries out for us is varied, from payroll and bookkeeping to fully outsourced services for clients. We have also used their services for some data cleansing assignments. The governance and knowledge-sharing system we have as part of the relationship is key, and we are regularly in two-way communication to ensure we, and our clients, are well serviced. In our continual drive to improve efficiencies, working with Corient has enabled us to offer some basic services to clients at a much lower cost base, which not only gives us timely and accurate information but also the ability to analyze and add value to our clients.
Corient has been dealing with my books for a couple of years, and they are hands-on and understand the care sector well. The team is professional and approachable. I get to see the Management Accounts on time. Overall, I am very impressed with the friendly, reliable, and high-quality service provided by Corient, and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other businesses.
Read more I have found that working with Corient is like employing your own FD. Not only do they care about the business as if it's their own, but they also have a flexible approach and offer a bespoke design that suits your business model. They can develop ongoing solutions for your business that you can trust and depend upon. I would highly recommend Corient whether you're a start-up business or already established. You will find they bring enhancement to your organization.
Read more Before outsourcing to Corient, we never had clarity on how we were doing financially. As a growing company, we were always focused on building a brand and never got the hang of the financials. Since outsourcing to Corient, they have cleaned up the books, maintained 'real-time' bookkeeping, and managed complex reconciliations between us and our factoring agency. They have exceeded all my expectations, going beyond working as a bookkeeping agency to acting as a Finance Controller. The detailed analysis they provide enables me to see the effectiveness of our sales strategy in real-time. They work seamlessly with our headquarters staff, providing information within hours, and have saved us significant finance and interest costs. They have also managed enquiries from HMRC independently. All in all, they have acted more as partners than suppliers.
Read more Corient takes care of all our outward payments and provides me with monthly Management P&Ls that are accurate and up to date. They also handle all our payroll, VAT returns, and can quickly provide asset and liability statements if required. What I find most appealing is that they are constantly looking for ways to improve our efficiencies without me even asking. The staff are always positive and have a "can-do" attitude, which is extremely refreshing. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential client and am happy to discuss this in person if required.
Read more Here at Leisureshop Direct, we had an internal bookkeeper for many years. As the company had many complexities, we decided to move to the outsource company, Corient. Leisureshop Direct was initially part of a larger Ltd company, and Corient helped greatly through the transition of separating Leisureshop Direct into its own Ltd company. Corient has also spent much time and effort understanding my company in detail and put in place many processes to ensure that the books and management accounts are as accurate as possible. Corient has a very proactive outlook, and it feels like they really want your company to grow and are eager to help in any way they can. I would highly recommend Corient as a solution to your bookkeeping requirements.
Read more The team at Corient are true professionals when it comes to taking care of business bookkeeping services. All of the bookkeepers are extremely knowledgeable and well-qualified. Corient took over the affairs from previous bookkeepers with minimal involvement from me and brought all four of my companies' affairs up to date. The team at Corient liaises directly with all of my Centre Managers, who are located in four different regions, to resolve queries and ensure efficient and timely submission of payroll and VAT returns. What also impresses me about Corient is that they take a genuine interest in my business and always put the needs of the customers first. They provide me with consolidated and company-wide management reporting, which I never had in the past, and this really helps me drive the business forward. Furthermore, Corient liaises with my accountants to resolve all year-end queries.
