Only Meet Candidates Worth Your Time
Here's how Accountably screens candidates (so you don't have to).
Fluency in your tax and accounting software
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.
Mock returns (run by us)
We look for:
- Workpapers tied back to source
- Your SOPs followed on every file
- Open questions written down, not guessed at
- Review-ready files, not first drafts
Test our work before you hire
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.
Thorough background checks and SOC 2-aligned security
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.
Get Support for Every Step of Hiring
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.
Done-for-you sourcing and screening
We handle everything between "Here's the role I need," and "Here's your shortlist."
Interview and onboarding support
Your recruiter stays with you through scheduling, interviews, and onboarding, so nothing slips between shortlist and first day.
Zero-risk compliance
You don't need to set up a local entity or become an expert in Indian employment law. We handle it all.
Continuity when someone leaves
We shadow and hand over during the notice period. Your workflow never takes a hit.
SOPs built with you
We help you write SOPs that keep work consistent no matter who does it, including file naming, workpaper structure, and version control.
Equipment, office space, and more
Part of our white-glove approach is helping with the extras that matter. From laptops to office space, we'll make it happen.

Frequently Asked Questions
If it's a fit and you want to move forward, the next step is a kickoff call with your dedicated recruiter. That's where we get into the details: the specifics of the role, your must-haves, nice-to-haves, and non-negotiables, and everything we need to run a targeted search.
Your search starts after that kickoff, and 3 to 5 days later you'll have your first shortlist of candidates to review.
If you decide it's not for you, there's no commitment and no hard feelings. We'll be here if you change your mind in the future.
None. Whether you're ready to hire or just exploring what hiring in India looks like, the consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch, and you are not tied into anything.
You'll leave with starting rates for your roles and a clear picture of how we work, and you decide where to go from there.
Yes. There are no upfront fees. We source, screen, and run initial interviews, then send you a shortlist to interview.
You only pay if you make a dedicated hire. If you don't hire anyone, you don't pay anything.
Since we only get paid when you hire, it's in our interest to send you candidates worth hiring.
You can make a hire within three weeks of your kickoff call. Your first shortlist usually arrives within 3-5 days of that call.
Any accounting or tax role that can be done remotely. That covers tax preparers and reviewers, staff accountants and bookkeepers, and AP/AR and payroll specialists, up to accounting managers and virtual CFOs.
We search for each role. We don't just send you whoever's available, and our sourcers keep searching until we find people who fit your exact requirements.
Before anyone reaches your shortlist, we've assessed their skills for the role and run first-round interviews. Every hire is background-verified, works under an NDA, and runs mock returns on your SOPs before any live work.
A dedicated hire is priced per seat, hourly or monthly. Accounting seats start at about $11 an hour (roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month) and tax seats at about $14 (roughly $2,400 to $2,500). 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.
You'll get exact numbers on your discovery call. For a dedicated hire, you pay nothing until you hire.
Every dedicated hire is backed by a 45-day replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out in that time, we find you a replacement at no extra cost.
And if someone leaves later on, we shadow and hand over during their notice period, so your workflow never takes a hit.
