Outsourced Accounting Services for CPA Firms

Accountably offers three ways to hire top accounting talent in India: dedicated offshore talent (full-time accountants working inside your workflow), a white-label delivery team (a team with its own manager and reviewers, for smaller and seasonal firms), and build-operate-transfer (your own offshore unit with an exclusive team and management, handed over to you).

Dedicated hires and build-operate-transfer teams go through the same sourcing and screening process; a white-label team is staffed and run by its assigned manager. The difference between models is who runs the work once your hire starts.

Choose dedicated talent if you have round-the-year work, a white-label team if your volume spikes in busy season, 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.

The recurring accounting work your firm runs for its clients: bookkeeping, books cleanup, accounts management through the month-end close, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, 1099 filing, and inventory accounting. Each service has its own page with the full scope.

The sign-off on every reconciliation and close, the final judgment calls, and the client relationship stay with your firm.

Accountably places professionals across the accounting work a firm runs, from bookkeeping, AP, and AR to payroll, the month-end close, and controller support.

The roles we place include bookkeepers, staff accountants, AP and AR specialists, payroll specialists, QuickBooks accountants, Xero accountants, CAS specialists, and accounting managers.

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 talent in India through Accountably. The exact figure depends on the role, level, and function. Accounting seats start at about $11 an hour, roughly $1,800-$2,500 a month for a full-time hire.

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.

Accountably quotes every seat on your discovery call 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 for the people you hire: employment contracts, payroll disbursement, tax compliance, and benefits administration.

With dedicated talent, you direct the day-to-day work; Accountably owns the employment relationship and manages everything behind it. This is separate from payroll management for your clients, which is work your hire does for your firm.

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

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.

Outsourcing names the relationship: your firm hands accounting work to an external partner. Offshore names where the trained team sits. Accountably is both, an outsourced and offshore accounting and tax staffing partner, and most US firms don't distinguish the two.

What matters more is who does the work. Accountably places trained accountants in your firm, ramped on your software and SOPs.

Every file goes through preparer, senior, quality and final review before it reaches you. The work runs on SOPs with structured workpapers, so your reviewer can see how each balance was built.

Turnaround runs on agreed SLAs, and you can see where every file sits in the workflow.

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 local machine. The full detail is on our data security and compliance page.

Yes, Accountably's accountants work in the tools US firms already rely on: QuickBooks and Xero for client books, and practice tools like Karbon, TaxDome, and Suralink.

During vetting, Accountably screens explicitly for your stack rather than assuming tool familiarity, and every hire is ramped on your software and SOPs during onboarding. If there is a specialized system in your environment, we flag any ramp time upfront so you can make an informed decision.

The 45-day replacement guarantee is included. If a placement does not work out within 45 days, Accountably finds a replacement at no additional charge.

If someone rolls off later, a trained replacement shadows them through the notice period, so your close and your client deadlines don't take a hit.
