Accountably is a staffing and recruiting agency that helps US CPA, EA, and accounting firms hire talent from India across tax, accounting, payroll, and finance.
Our white-glove partnership approach sets us apart. We listen and ask the right questions, and the results show up in candidates who consistently exceed expectations.
Book a Free ConsultationThe hardest part of working with us is choosing between candidates. Every candidate on your shortlist passed a screening that most don't.
One point of contact, every search. They learn your standards, remember your preferences, and stay with you from brief to placement and beyond.
Leave the sourcing and screening to us. Receive a shortlist and make fast yes/no calls. Interview only your top picks.
Dedicated hire, white-label team, or build-operate-transfer. Your choice. For a dedicated hire, you pay nothing until you hire.
Plus, you set the pace, not us. Start with 1-3 people. Add more as trust builds.

Here's how Accountably screens candidates (so you don't have to).
We recruit accountants and tax preparers in India against your must-haves: the returns you file, the software you run, and the experience the seat needs.

Nobody touches live work until they know your software. Our people prepare returns in UltraTax CS, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, Drake Tax, and ProConnect Tax, keep books in QuickBooks and Xero, and work inside Karbon, TaxDome, and Suralink.

We look for:

Want to test our work first? Ask about a trial task on your discovery call. If it fits, your reviewer grades the work, and you get the results before you commit a single client file.

Every hire is background-verified and works under an NDA. Access is role-based, over a secure VPN, with encrypted file exchange.
Audit logs record who opened what, and nothing is stored on a personal machine.




Business Standard, Outlook India, Mid-Day, and other leading publications have covered how Accountably helps US accounting firms hire in India. An achievement we owe to the US firms that trust us to scale their teams.
Accountably makes hiring in India easier, faster, and more affordable than hiring in the US. Spend less time managing hiring and more time reviewing work, advising clients, and bringing in new business.
We handle everything between "Here's the role I need," and "Here's your shortlist."
Your recruiter stays with you through scheduling, interviews, and onboarding, so nothing slips between shortlist and first day.
You don't need to set up a local entity or become an expert in Indian employment law. We handle it all.
We shadow and hand over during the notice period. Your workflow never takes a hit.
We help you write SOPs that keep work consistent no matter who does it, including file naming, workpaper structure, and version control.
Part of our white-glove approach is helping with the extras that matter. From laptops to office space, we'll make it happen.
Tell us who you need to hire, and we'll handle the rest: sourcing, payroll, compliance, and everything in between.

A few themes come up again and again from firms that have hired offshore talent with Accountably:
"Accountably felt like an invisible engine powering our growth."
"I was the biggest skeptic in the room when we discussed offshore. Six months in, I'm the biggest advocate. The quality of workpapers coming through is better than what we produced in-house, and my partners finally have time for client-facing work."
"As a solo EA, I was drowning in 1040s every season and turning away good clients. One dedicated offshore preparer changed everything. I doubled my client base and actually took a vacation in April for the first time in 12 years."
"They matched our pace from day one. Returns came back clean, organized, and ready for review. It felt like we'd doubled our team overnight."
"Three hundred and ten returns. Ten weeks. Zero missed deadlines. Zero client complaints. And our team actually went home at a reasonable hour for the first time in years."
Accountably builds its service around your process, your preferences, and however much you want us to own, from a single placement to a fully managed offshore team.

Hire Top TalentFree to interview, only pay if you hire.
Accountably helps US firms hire top-tier accounting talent in India through full-service recruitment and staffing services.
We connect firms with high-performing professionals across tax, accounting, CAS, and payroll.
We handle everything from sourcing to vetting to payroll and compliance, so you can build teams where people stick around and help your firm win.
If an accounting or tax role can be performed remotely, Accountably can help you fill it with A-players in India.
We help US firms hire talent in India across tax (tax preparers, tax reviewers), accounting and bookkeeping (staff accountants, bookkeepers, controllers), AP, AR and payroll (AP/AR specialists, payroll specialists), and finance and management (financial analysts, accounting managers, virtual CFOs).
Start with 1-3 hires and add more as trust builds.
A full-time accounting seat costs roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month, compared with the fully loaded cost of a US staff accountant. It can cost up to 70% less to hire in India compared to hiring US-based professionals for equivalent roles.
Savings vary depending on the position, skillset, and experience level, but the cost advantage is consistent across functions.
India Standard Time is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of the continental US, depending on your time zone and daylight saving.
For example, 9:00 a.m. in New York is 6:30 p.m. in India while US daylight saving time is in effect, and 7:30 p.m. the rest of the year.
Every engagement runs on agreed delivery windows. Talk to us about how working hours would be set up for your firm.
Experienced hires start with onboarding on your software and SOPs. Newer hires first complete our 6-week US tax and accounting program. The training doesn't stop at placement.
We also build in:
Every file goes through preparer, senior, quality and final review before it reaches you.
We train to how your firm reviews and what "done" looks like to your partners.
Yes, with dedicated offshore talent your hire works full-time inside your workflow, in your software and on your SOPs.
We carry the recruiting, the training, the quality control, and the day-to-day people management, so the team adds capacity without adding HR work for you.
You start small, see the work, and expand seat by seat.
If another setup fits better, a white-label delivery team (a manager plus reviewers) can take seasonal or compliance work end to end, or we can stand up your own offshore unit through Build-Operate-Transfer and then hand it to you.
Our team is in India, with offices in Ahmedabad and Indore. Our US headquarters is in Austin, Texas.
Accountably was founded by a US-licensed CPA who spent 7+ years inside US firms: PwC, then a real-estate tax practice, then a full-service firm, rising from reviewer to manager to advisory.
The person designing your offshore team has run the review cycle and felt April.
No, you don't need to sponsor candidates for a visa for remote work where they will continue to reside in their country.
Your hires in India are not US-based and therefore don't need a visa/sponsorship to work.
Yes, client files are handled under SOC 2-aligned controls by background-verified staff who work under NDAs.
Access is role-based and runs over a secure VPN, files move by encrypted exchange, audit logs record activity, and nothing is stored on a personal machine.
For a dedicated hire, you pay nothing until you hire. We don't charge upfront fees, and we make pricing fully transparent once we have your role requirements.
Want to test our work first? Ask about a trial task on your discovery call. If it fits, your reviewer grades the work before you commit.
For a dedicated hire, Accountably offers flexible per-seat pricing, hourly or monthly, depending on the role:
A full-time accounting seat comes to roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month, and a tax seat to roughly $2,400 to $2,500. Senior reviewers and specialized tax work cost more.
Every seat includes the same screening, US tax training, and multi-layer review.
White-label work is billed per return for tax work; other work is priced by scope, agreed on your discovery call, as is build-operate-transfer pricing.
For a dedicated hire, interviewing is free, and you pay nothing until you hire.
A trained backup steps in. When someone rolls off, we shadow and hand over during their notice period, so your workflow never takes a hit.
Every engagement runs on SOPs and structured workpapers, so the work stays consistent no matter who does it.
We check every candidate's software experience. Experienced hires start with onboarding on your software and SOPs, and newer hires first complete our 6-week US tax and accounting program. We run background checks, and every hire works under an NDA.
You only see candidates who've passed our rigorous screening.
Our placements come from this upfront work. One regional CPA firm has scaled to 12 placements with us. We filter for long-term success.
And if a hire doesn't work out within the first 45 days, we'll find you a replacement at no additional cost. We'll do our best to find a teammate you'll have for the long term.
