Common questions.
What does Business as a Service mean at OPS?
OPS runs part of your back office as an ongoing service. It covers bookkeeping, accounting and HR operations for companies in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
How is the scope set?
OPS reviews your current books, records and tools, then agrees in writing which tasks it takes on. Scope is reviewed as you hire, expand into a new country or change systems.
How is this different from a fractional CFO or Head of People?
Business as a Service runs the day-to-day work. A fractional CFO or Head of People owns strategy, controls and decisions at a senior level. Some companies use both.
Which countries do you cover?
Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. If you operate somewhere else, contact OPS to discuss it.
