Outsourced Tax Preparation Services for CPA Firms

Accountably offers three ways to hire top tax talent in India: dedicated offshore talent for firms that need stable, year-round capacity, white-label delivery teams with a manager and reviewers for smaller and seasonal firms, 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 how the team is set up: preparers and reviewers who work only on your returns, a delivery team that brings its own manager and reviewers, or a team we build and run before handing it over to your firm. Compare the engagement models.

Your team can prepare Form 1040 individual returns, 1120-S S-corp returns, 1065 partnership returns, 1120 C-corp returns, and the 990 series for nonprofits, along with multistate returns and sales and use tax compliance.

Trust returns on Form 1041 are on the list too. Each return type has its own page with the full scope.

Accountably places tax professionals across the full return mix, from individual 1040s to business, nonprofit, and multistate work.

The tax roles you can hire include tax preparers, business tax preparers, tax reviewers, nonprofit tax preparers, and SALT specialists.

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 46% compared to equivalent US hires when bringing on tax talent in India through Accountably. The exact figure depends on the role, level, and return mix. Tax hires start from about $14 an hour, and a full-time seat comes to 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.

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: 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.

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

• The preparer builds the return on your SOPs, with structured workpapers tied to source documents.
• A senior reviewer checks technical positions, entity treatment, and multistate apportionment against the workpapers.
• A quality reviewer runs the return against a checklist for diagnostics, carryforwards, and filing accuracy.
• A final review confirms the return is clean before it goes to your firm for sign-off.

Your firm signs and e-files each return under its own EFIN. Your Accountably team prepares the return and the workpapers and runs the review underneath, and the final judgment on tax positions and the client relationship stay with you.

Yes. Your firm needs each client's signed consent before any tax return information reaches our team in India. We give you consent wording to adapt with your own adviser, and we don't start on a client's files until you confirm the consent is on file.

The team works in your firm's software. They're ramped on your stack during onboarding, including UltraTax CS, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, Drake Tax, and ProConnect Tax, along with workflow tools like TaxDome, Karbon, and Suralink. There is no migration and no change to how your firm files.

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, so no return or source document is saved to a personal machine.
