Shared Services

What are shared services?

Shared services are defined broadly as "the collaborative use of staff resources across traditional organizational boundaries." While the concept of shared services is not new, it is enjoying a new lease on life as cooperative organizations and leaders grapple with organizational and budgetary pressures.

For cooperatives to thrive in today's economy, finding and retaining the best level of service is vital. Retaining top talent is incredibly challenging for smaller co-ops competing with organizations with larger budgets and greater recruiting avenues.

ACCA recognizes that co-operatives require efficient and effective back-office administration and management to be successful. But searching for the right amount of support from service providers who understand your unique needs can be daunting. That’s why we’ve curated a collective of expert service providers who understand the unique needs of co-ops and social purpose organizations. Each provider brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, ensuring that our members receive exceptional support across various domains.
