What Leading Firms Say About Accountably

Growth without local hires

"Accountably felt like an invisible engine powering our growth."
Regional CPA firm12 placements · 3x return volume

Quality that surprises

"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."
CPA firm8 placements · 42% lower tax prep costs

Room to grow

"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."
Solo enrolled agentOne dedicated preparer

Your time back

"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."
Mid-size CPA firmWhite-label tax preparation

Zero disruption

"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."
Tax-focused CPA firmAbout 200 hours saved

Runs the recurring client accounting cycle for a portfolio of your CAS clients: coding, reconciliations and the close, the monthly financial package in your house format, client onboarding and books cleanup, payroll review and year-end processing.

Review, sign-off and the client relationship stay with your firm.

You'll receive a shortlist of strong, best-fit CAS specialist candidates within three to five days of the kickoff call, and you can make a hire within three weeks.

Timing depends on how many interview rounds you want to run and how long final-stage steps take.

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

Every new hire, whether in India or the US, carries some risk, and being a little nervous about whether someone will work out is normal. Accountably's vetting process is built to take most of that risk off the table upfront; the guarantee is the backstop if something gets missed.

Talk through the specifics with your Accountably rep before you sign.

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

A bookkeeper keeps the ledger current. A CAS specialist owns the whole monthly cycle for a client: the books, the package your firm presents, onboarding new clients, cleanup and year-end.

Firms building a CAS practice place this seat so one person can answer for every part of a client's month.

Yes: our CAS specialists work in QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, BILL, Dext, Hubdoc, Gusto, Karbon, TaxDome, and Suralink, and Accountably screens for the specific platform your firm uses as a hard filter before presenting anyone.

When you brief Accountably on the role, name your exact stack, including any add-ons and the version you run, and candidates will be filtered for hands-on experience with that combination. Every hire is ramped on your software and SOPs before they touch live work.

Hiring a CAS specialist in India through Accountably follows one path: Accountably sources and vets the candidate, then employs them, handling payroll, compliance, and benefits administration on your behalf. You pay Accountably a monthly fee per seat and do not need to set up a foreign entity or navigate Indian employment law directly.

Once the hire is made: provide access to your systems and prior-period workpapers before day one, align on your deadlines and review schedule, and plan a structured first month for the CAS specialist to walk through your clients, recurring work, and existing processes.

Accountably vets CAS specialists in India through active sourcing, resume screening, a first-round interview, and a practical skills assessment. The strongest candidates from those stages become your shortlist.

Sourcing targets candidates with direct US-client or US-firm experience, because candidates calibrated on US standards and US deadlines require less ramp time. Resume screening applies your requirements as hard filters, including proficiency in the software you use (QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage Intacct).

The first-round interview assesses accuracy orientation and how the candidate explains their work. After you choose your finalist, Accountably runs a background check to verify work history.

Entry-level accounting seats start around $11 an hour, roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month for a full-time seat.

Senior seats cost more, and we share full pricing once we have your role requirements. Interviewing is free, and you only pay if you hire.

For CPA firms where the partner or owner is doing too much of this work themselves, offshore hiring makes a CAS specialist accessible at a fraction of US cost. The savings reflect the lower cost of living in India, not lower accounting standards.

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.
