When we first had discussions with Gold City Offshoring, we were hopeful that they would be able to help us overcome the challenges that we, along with many other audit firms, face in attracting and retaining the best audit talent.

We realized very early on that their approach was vastly different from other solutions in that they listened to what we needed rather than tell us what they thought we needed. We have since built and grown our bespoke team through them and they all feel part of our family here in the UK as opposed to just a resource option.

We have also been to visit GCO’s very smart Johannesburg offices to meet them and our own team (Goldies!) and are delighted to work in partnership with GCO and look forward to continuing to do so.

When we started to engage with Gold City Offshoring (GCO), we wanted to explore what they could offer us by way of support, given the resourcing challenges we are facing within the UK audit market. They listened carefully to what we had to say and built a bespoke solution around it and now, starting with a team of a few auditors with them have in a short space of time, a team of over twenty in their South Africa offices with plans in place to increase this number. GCO’s personable approach and focus on integration rather than just adding has reaped huge benefits for us and transformed the way we look at providing support to Crowe’s growing UK business and teams. We look forward to continuing our excellent relationship with them.

We have been working with Gold City Offshoring for over 18 months. GCO worked very closely with us in addressing some initial recruitment hurdles and now our team of GCO consultants have settled into the business, integrated well, and are delivering great output.

We recently hosted the team at our offices and found having them with us for a week to be immensely valuable. GCO’s long-term solution is hugely helping alleviate our resource capacity and recruitment challenges and we’re looking forward to working with the team in 2024.

Referred to GCO by a fellow UK audit firm, I'm happy to share our great experience with their processes and the team. GCO's long-term partnership solution definitely sets them apart from other solutions in the market, given the extent of the resourcing challenges in the audit sector and their integration-focused model has helped to deliver sustainable results for our business.

Inspired by the success of our pilot team, we're on a growth trajectory with GCO's support and with an expanding offshore team, we're now equipped to capitalize on market opportunities that would have been much more of a challenge due to local talent constraints. Our collaboration with GCO has fostered a partnership that goes beyond conventional outsourcing and as we look forward, we're eager to build upon this unique synergy and explore new horizons.
