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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Accountably offers four ways to hire top accounting and tax talent in India: tax preparation, accounting and bookkeeping, financial analysis, and advisory and consulting support.

All four include the same rigorous sourcing and screening process on the front end. The difference between them is the work your hire takes on once they start.

Accountably places professionals across any accounting or tax role that can be performed remotely, from tax preparation and bookkeeping to AP, AR, payroll, financial analysis, and controller work.

The roles you can hire include tax preparers, tax reviewers, staff accountants, bookkeepers, AP and AR specialists, payroll specialists, financial analysts, and controllers. See every role.

You receive your first curated shortlist within 3-5 days of your kickoff call, and you can hire in under 3 weeks. The speed comes from a dedicated recruiter who calibrates to your specific role requirements and team culture before sourcing begins.

US firms can save up to 70% compared to equivalent US hires when bringing on accounting and tax talent in India through Accountably. The exact figure depends on the role, level, and function. Accounting hires start at about $11 an hour, roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month for a full-time hire. Tax hires start at about $14 an hour, roughly $2,400 to $2,500 a month.

For many firms, those savings make it possible to hire more people than originally budgeted, bring on more senior talent than domestic rates would allow, or fund a capability they had been putting off.

You'll leave your discovery call with starting rates for your roles, so you have concrete numbers to plan against. A dedicated hire has a 60-day minimum commitment. See pricing.

Yes, Accountably handles the full employment backend: employment contracts, payroll disbursement, tax compliance, and benefits administration.

You direct the day-to-day work; Accountably owns the employment relationship and manages everything behind it. Your discovery call is the right place to walk through which model fits your setup.

Accountably's vetting process screens for role-specific skills, professional background, and cultural fit before any candidate reaches a client. The process includes recruiter interviews, reference checks, and background verification.

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 reviews of IRS and regulatory updates keep them current.

The core difference is who runs the work once your hire starts. With dedicated offshore talent, full-time professionals work only on your accounts, under your management. With a white-label delivery team, a manager and reviewers run the work and you review what they deliver. With Build-Operate-Transfer, Accountably builds and manages your offshore team, then hands the team over to you, on terms agreed on your discovery call.

Recruiting differs between the models. Dedicated hires go through the same recruiting process as build-operate-transfer teams, while a white-label team is staffed and run by its assigned manager.

Choose dedicated talent if you need stable, round-the-year capacity, a white-label team if you're a smaller or seasonal firm, and Build-Operate-Transfer if you're serious about long-term offshore control. If you're not sure which fits, the team will walk you through the options on your discovery call.

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

  • The preparer completes the work inside your software, on your SOPs, with structured workpapers behind every number.
  • A senior reviewer checks the file against the SOP and the supporting documents.
  • A quality reviewer tests the work against technical standards and your firm's conventions, with a documented checklist for the service type.
  • A final review confirms the file is ready for your sign-off, so your own review becomes a quick confirmation instead of a correction session.

Your firm signs them, and your name and your firm's name stay on every return and statement. The final judgment on positions and elections, the client relationship, and the choice of which work to hand off stay with you.

Your Accountably team carries the preparation, the structured workpapers, and the review underneath the file.

Your team works in the software your firm already runs, including UltraTax CS, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, Drake Tax, ProConnect Tax, QuickBooks, and Xero, along with workflow tools like Karbon, TaxDome, and Suralink. Every hire is ramped on your firm's software and SOPs.

Your team works under SOC 2-aligned controls, with NDA-backed confidentiality, background-verified staff, role-based access, a secure VPN, encrypted file exchange, audit logs, and a zero local storage policy. Read about our data security.

Yes. Start with 1-3 hires on your highest-volume work, then add seats and service lines as trust builds.

If a hire isn't the right fit, the 45-day replacement guarantee covers a replacement at no additional charge. If someone rolls off later, a trained replacement shadows them through the notice period, so your workflow doesn't take a hit.

The team you thought was out of budget is under three weeks and one discovery call away.
