Insource Services, Inc

Handing a function to outside specialists is the idea behind Insource Services, a Boston, Massachusetts firm that supplies finance, human resources, technology, and data and AI expertise to organizations that would rather not staff those areas themselves. Clients can use the team as much or as little as they need, remotely or at their own offices.

Finance and accounting

The firm works with a client's team to pinpoint financial priorities and then sets up a consistent reporting and financial management routine that surfaces critical data for executive decisions. It says this tailored support can cost less than a full finance department.

Human resources

HR support is scaled to a client's needs, with weight on legal compliance and on how staff and managers talk to each other. The company describes meeting an organization where it is and working with it to strengthen its HR structure.

Technology and data

For technology, Insource helps choose and implement systems that streamline processes and produce the information a business needs. It proposes cost-effective options, identifies what level of skill is required and manages the move from old systems to new ones. A newer area covers data and AI, supported by a downloadable guide to seven steps for introducing AI and articles on practical AI uses for nonprofit teams.

Insource University

Training is part of its method. Customized courses in finance, HR, IT, leadership, management and diversity are led by its own staff, in person or online, along with help designing meetings, facilitation and action plans around organizational initiatives.

Where it publishes

A section of articles covers subjects such as rolling out an AI assistant across a nonprofit.

Flexible engagement

The company says its services are available on a use-as-you-need basis, remotely or at the client's office, and it argues that bringing in outside experts helps an organization reach its goals faster while its leaders concentrate on their core work.
