Frequently asked questions about Accounting Outsourcing for US
Can you sign or file US tax returns?
No. Returns are reviewed, signed and e-filed by your US CPA, enrolled agent or authorized preparer. We prepare workpapers and draft returns in your software for that review.
Which software do you use?
QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Bill.com, Gusto, ADP, and common tax packages such as UltraTax, Lacerte, Drake and ProConnect, depending on what your firm uses.
How do you handle data security?
Each engagement is covered by a confidentiality agreement. Staff use individual logins with least-privilege access, and access is revoked when an engagement ends. We can work within your own security policies and remote-desktop setup.
What hours does your team work?
Our core hours overlap with the US early morning for calls, and the bulk of processing happens overnight US time so work is ready when you start your day.
How do you price the work?
Either a fixed monthly fee based on scope and volume, or a dedicated full-time accountant at a monthly rate. We quote after a short discovery call.
How much can a US business save by outsourcing accounting to India?
Savings depend on scope and the US role being replaced, but offshore staff in India usually cost a fraction of an equivalent US hire. We give a fixed quote after a scoping call so you can compare directly.
