A virtual finance department, which in our case is the entire practice, operates remotely, using digital tools and software to manage and communicate accounting information. This contrasts with the traditional approach of conventional in-house accountants. The remote model offers greater flexibility and, often, more scalable services that help serve businesses regardless of geographic location.
