Outsourced Accounting Advisory Support for CPA Firms

Accountably offers three ways to hire top talent from India: dedicated offshore talent (full-time staff working inside your workflow, with payroll and compliance handled), a white-label delivery team with its own manager and reviewers, and build-operate-transfer for firms serious about long-term offshore control. 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.

The preparation and analysis behind your firm's advisory engagements:

• Controller services: close ownership, review of reconciliations and journals, multi-entity consolidation, and the monthly reporting pack.
• Virtual CFO support: board packs, rolling forecasts, cash models, and KPI dashboards.
• Forecasting and budgeting: annual budgets, driver-based models, and budget-to-actual reporting.
• Tax planning support: multi-year projections and scenario comparisons for your tax planners.
• Entity selection analysis: LLC, S-corp, C-corp, and partnership comparisons on the client's own numbers.

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

Accountably places professionals across the advisory work a firm delivers, from the month-end close to the board pack.

Advisory roles you can hire include controllers, virtual CFO support staff, financial analysts, finance managers, accounting managers, and CAS specialists, among others.

Your firm's partners advise your clients, and Accountably's hires build the models, projections, and reporting packs behind that advice. The recommendation, the client meeting, and the sign-off stay with your partners.

Your hires work inside your firm and your systems. Whether one of them ever meets a client is your call.

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 talent in India through Accountably. The exact figure depends on the role, level, and function. Accounting seats start from about $11 an hour, and controller and other senior seats are priced on request. For comparison, BLS median pay in the US is $102,740 a year for financial and investment analysts and $166,570 for financial managers (May 2025).

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.

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 engagement model fits your setup.

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

We adapt to your assessments, interview stages, and evaluation criteria, so the candidates you see meet your bar.

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

• Preparer: your hire builds the model, schedule, or pack in your templates.
• Senior review: a senior checks the logic, the assumptions, and the tie-outs back to source.
• Quality review: a separate pass tests the numbers against your standards.
• Final review: a final read confirms the deliverable is ready before it reaches your partner.

Forecasts, board packs, and financing cases hold a client's whole financial position, so your hire works under SOC 2-aligned controls with role-based access to the files they are assigned. NDA-backed confidentiality, background-verified staff, a secure VPN, encrypted file exchange, and audit logs sit underneath, and a zero local storage policy keeps client files off personal machines.

The core difference is who runs the work once your hire starts. With dedicated offshore talent, your hire works inside your workflow and you direct the work like any member of your team. With a white-label delivery team, Accountably's manager and reviewers run the team, and you review the finished work.

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 offshore talent if you have year-round advisory work and want full-time staff inside your workflow. Choose a white-label delivery team if you're a smaller or seasonal firm and you'd rather review finished work. If you're not sure which fits, the team will walk you through both options on your discovery call.
