Hire Accounting and Tax Talent in India

Yes, accounting professionals in India regularly work in the same US accounting software tools your team uses, and Accountably screens specifically for proficiency in whichever tools your role requires before you see a resume.

If UltraTax CS is non-negotiable, we screen for UltraTax CS. If your firm runs on CCH Axcess, QuickBooks, or a combination of tools, that becomes part of the criteria before your shortlist is built.

You'll know the exact software stack each candidate works in before the first interview.

Yes. Experienced hires start with onboarding on your software and SOPs. Newer hires first complete our 6-week US tax and accounting program. Weekly technical sessions and monthly IRS and regulatory-update reviews keep the team current.

If US GAAP is non-negotiable, we screen for US GAAP experience, not IFRS. If your role requires US tax knowledge, such as 1040 preparation, 1120S returns, trust returns, or expat tax work, that becomes part of the criteria before your shortlist is built.

We won't present candidates for a specialized tax role without first confirming they have that background.

Every file goes through preparer, senior, quality and final review before it reaches you.

Accountably delivers your first shortlist of vetted candidates within 3-5 days of the kickoff call, and accounting and tax roles can be filled in under 3 weeks.

If you're replacing someone who just left or facing a tax season crunch, we prioritize urgency without cutting corners on vetting quality.

For highly specialized roles like SALT specialists or senior controllers for complex multi-entity environments, the timeline may run slightly longer, and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case.

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.

Yes, accountants in India can work independently. Accountably specifically screens for ownership mentality and proactivity as well as technical skill. The candidates we place take initiative, follow up independently, flag issues before they become problems, and don't need to be directed through tasks they should be catching themselves.

Our CPA-led approach sets us apart. Accountably was founded by a US-licensed CPA who spent 7+ years inside US firms, and we know how a partner reviews a return.

Experienced hires start with onboarding on your software and SOPs. Newer hires first complete our 6-week US tax and accounting program. Every file goes through preparer, senior, quality and final review before it reaches you.

And if a hire doesn't work out within the first 45 days, we'll find you a replacement at no additional cost.

Yes. Every professional Accountably places as dedicated offshore talent is dedicated exclusively to your firm, not shared across multiple clients or rotated through a staffing pool.

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.

Accountably offers flexible per-seat pricing for dedicated hires, hourly or monthly, depending on the role. Entry-level accounting support starts around $11 an hour, and tax-focused roles start around $14 an hour.

A full-time accounting seat comes to roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month, and a full-time tax seat to roughly $2,400 to $2,500. Senior reviewers and specialized tax work cost more.

Interviewing is free, and you never pay until you make a hire.

Even after Accountably's fees, the total annual cost of an accounting hire in India is still up to 70% less than the equivalent US-based hire.

One regional CPA firm built a team of 12 placements through Accountably, saving about $420K a year with zero in-house hires.

Accountably handles the full employment relationship: contracts, payroll, tax compliance, benefits administration, and ongoing support.

You manage the work and the day-to-day relationship with your hire; Accountably handles everything that comes with employing someone in India.

Accountably is a staffing and recruiting agency that helps US firms hire talent from India across tax, accounting, payroll, and finance, including roles such as tax preparers, bookkeepers, accountants, and reviewers.

Services include:

Candidate sourcing and screening: Accountably handles sourcing, US GAAP experience verification, accounting software proficiency checks, initial interviews, and background checks. You receive a shortlist of vetted finalists.

Payroll, compliance, and contracts: we manage contracts, payroll, and tax compliance so you can hire in India without navigating local labor law yourself.

Equipment and onboarding logistics: your hire works from our secure workspace in Ahmedabad, with the equipment provided.

Ongoing support: your dedicated recruiter stays available after the hire for check-ins and anything that comes up.

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.

If the work is accounting or tax, we can help you fill the seat with a trained accountant or tax preparer in India.

We place people across accounting (month-end close, reconciliations, AP/AR, financial reporting, multi-entity consolidation, controller support), tax (1040, 1120/1120S, 1065, and 990 returns, SALT, cleanup and review, workpaper prep), and CAS and payroll (monthly financial packages, payroll review, client onboarding and cleanup, year-end processing).

If a hire doesn't work out within the first 45 days, we'll find you a replacement at no additional cost.

When someone moves on later, we shadow and hand over during the notice period, so your workflow never takes a hit.
