How Westbrook & Harper CPAs Tripled Their Client Load Without Hiring In-House

Westbrook & Harper CPAs is a four-partner firm based in the Midwest, offering tax, bookkeeping, and advisory services to small business clients across various industries. Known for their thoroughness and strong client relationships, the firm had built a solid foundation – but their growing reputation brought in more work than they could handle internally.

Client referrals were pouring in, but the partners were at capacity. Each of them was already balancing client meetings, tax filings, financial reviews, and managing operations. Hiring locally wasn’t a quick fix – it was expensive, time-consuming, and risky during their busiest stretch of the year.

They needed more hands on deck – but didn’t want to slow down to onboard or compromise on quality.

That’s where Accountably came in. Instead of hiring in-house, Westbrook & Harper used our offshore accounting support to extend their capacity while keeping full control of their workflows.
