Who we serve

Offshore accounting for US CPA firms

Quick answer

US CPA firms use Offshore Accounting Hub for client write-up and bookkeeping, monthly close and audit and review workpapers. Our US team works 3pm to midnight India time, covering the first half of the US Eastern working day, so questions are answered the same day. Your firm keeps the client relationship, the review and the sign-off; we do the preparation.

What CPA firms send us

  • Client write-up and bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, Xero and other ledgers.
  • Monthly and quarterly close for client entities, with a reconciled trial balance and flux review.
  • Year-end schedules that make tax preparation faster.
  • Business tax returns prepared in your software for your review, signature and filing.
  • Audit and review support: lead schedules, tie-outs, PBC tracking and draft financial statements.

How the work fits your firm

Your firm owns the client. We work through your firm’s access, write your preferences into SOPs and per-client checklists, train the team on them and deliver to your reviewers. Clients do not need to know our team’s names unless you want them to contact us directly for documents.

The largest firms have done this for years through their own delivery centres in India. The Hub gives firms outside the top ten the same model without building one: why we built the Hub.

White-label support

If you prefer, we work entirely under your firm’s brand. Our team uses your firm’s email addresses or portal, and your templates, and your clients deal only with your firm. A dedicated team aligned to your firm learns your checklists and client base, and confidentiality agreements cover both your firm and your clients. Many firms use us this way for bookkeeping, write-up, close and audit and review support across their whole client base.

Working hours

Our US team works 3pm to midnight India time. That is about 5:30am to 2:30pm US Eastern during daylight saving time, so you get about five hours of live overlap each morning, and West Coast firms get the first couple of hours of their day. Files you send after we sign off are picked up at the start of the next shift.

Pricing

Most CPA firms pay a fixed monthly fee per client file. Overflow work can be billed per chargeable hour from USD 12, and a dedicated team member starts at USD 600 a month. See pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Do your staff hold US qualifications?
Our team is led by chartered accountants (FCA), and Iqbal Singh Grover, a licensed CPA (USA), reviews US work case by case where an engagement needs it. Preparers are qualified or part-qualified accountants trained on US GAAP and your checklists.
Do we need client consent to use an offshore provider?
Your professional and regulatory rules decide this, and they differ for tax and non-tax work. Many firms update their engagement letters to disclose the use of outside service providers. Our guide on client confidentiality sets out what to check.
Can you help during tax season?
Yes, in two ways. We prepare business tax returns (Forms 1120, 1120-S and 1065, state returns and 1099s) in your tax software for your review and sign-off, and we keep bookkeeping, close and year-end schedules moving so your own staff can focus on review and clients.
How do we start?
With a scope call and a test batch of one or two client files, usually inside a 90-day pilot.
