Most Offshore Fails Because Firms Pick the Wrong Model
Staffing vendors send resumes without structure, QC, or accountability – and when it breaks, you lose more time than you saved. The right model depends on your firm's size, workload pattern, and how much control you want. That's why we built three.
Three models. One goal: predictable delivery at lower cost. ↓

Firms Like Yours Are Scaling Smarter
See how CPA firms across the country have transformed their delivery capacity with Accountably's engagement models.
"Building our own offshore center seemed impossible until Accountably showed us the BOT model. 14 months later, we have a 15-person team that's fully ours – trained, managed, and operating at U.S. quality standards."
"We started with one dedicated bookkeeper. Within 6 months, we had a team of four handling all our monthly close work. The quality is indistinguishable from our U.S. staff – at 40% less cost."
"Last tax season was our first with Accountably's white-label team. We processed 40% more returns without hiring a single temp. The managed team handled everything – we just reviewed finals."

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about choosing and switching between engagement models.
How do I know which model is right for my firm?
Take our 60-second quiz for a personalized recommendation. In general: choose Dedicated Talent for year-round capacity, White-Label Teams for seasonal or overflow work, and BOT if you're planning 10+ staff long-term.
Can I switch between engagement models?
Yes. Many firms start with Dedicated Talent and upgrade to White-Label Teams or BOT as they grow. Transitions are seamless – your existing team can be incorporated into the new model with no penalties for switching.
What's the minimum commitment?
Dedicated Talent and White-Label Teams are month-to-month after an initial 30-day pilot. No long-term contracts. The BOT model is a 12–18 month engagement to allow for team building and ownership transfer.
How is quality controlled across models?
All models include our 4-tier QC system: preparer self-review, senior review, quality team review, and final check before delivery. White-Label Teams have QC built into managed service. Dedicated Talent receives QC training to integrate with your existing review process.
What happens if someone on my team leaves?
All models include backup coverage. If a team member leaves, we provide an immediate temporary replacement while recruiting a permanent one – typically within 2 weeks. No disruption to your workflow.
Which model is best for tax season overflow?
White-Label Delivery Teams. Scale up from January to April, scale down after. The team is fully managed so you're not training people you'll only need for 4 months, and every file passes multi-layer review before it reaches your queue.
How does the BOT ownership transfer work?
We build, staff, train, and operate your offshore center. At the end of the agreed term (12–18 months), we transfer full ownership – team, management, office lease, and IT infrastructure. You can then operate independently or with our optional support services.
What software and tools do your teams use?
Our teams work inside YOUR systems. We're proficient in QuickBooks, Xero, UltraTax, CCH Axcess, ProConnect, Lacerte, Drake, Thomson Reuters, Karbon, TaxDome, Canopy, Suralink, JetPack, and 50+ other platforms.
