Two jurisdictions, one delivery team

US GAAP & IRS Compliance vs. UK HMRC Compliance — Handled Side by Side

Cross-border outsourcing fails when a team knows only one rulebook. Our accountants are trained separately for US and UK engagements, so a New York CPA firm and a Manchester accountancy practice each get the conventions, dates and filing logic they expect.

United States — GAAP, IRS & State Filing Support

  • US GAAP bookkeeping: accrual, cash and modified-cash basis, revenue recognition, deferred revenue and expense cut-off.
  • IRS-ready records: audit trails, substantiation, mileage and per-diem schedules, fixed asset registers for depreciation support.
  • 1099 & W-2 season: contractor W-9 collection, 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC tracking, TIN matching support, W-2 to general ledger tie-outs.
  • Sales tax & nexus: multi-state registration tracking, marketplace facilitator reporting, Avalara and TaxJar reconciliation.
  • Return-support workpapers: Form 1065, 1120, 1120-S, 1040 Schedule C, 990 and K-1 support packs.
  • Payroll compliance checks: multi-state payroll tax reconciliation, benefit accruals, workers' comp class tracking.

United Kingdom — HMRC, MTD, VAT & Companies House

  • UK GAAP reporting: FRS 102 and FRS 105 workflows, statutory accounts prep support, accruals and prepayment discipline.
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD): digital record keeping and quarterly VAT submissions through Xero, Sage or QuickBooks MTD bridges.
  • VAT returns: standard, flat-rate and cash accounting schemes, partial exemption workings, reverse charge and EU/import treatment.
  • CIS: subcontractor verification, monthly CIS300 return support and deduction reconciliation.
  • Companies House: confirmation statement and year-end filing calendars tracked for every client.
  • Payroll & pensions: PAYE RTI data checks, auto-enrolment reconciliation and P11D expense support.

Software fluency, not software training

QuickBooks Accounting, Xero Accounting, Sage Accounting, NetSuite Accounting & Bill.com Specialists

AI and automation for accounting firms

AI & Automation Tools That Remove the Data Entry, Not the Judgement

Outsourcing alone gets you cheaper hands. Outsourcing plus AI and automation gets you a shorter close. We redesign the workflow before we add people — then staff the parts a machine should not decide.

  • Intelligent document processing

    OCR and machine-learning capture for bills, receipts, bank statements and purchase orders, with confidence thresholds and human review on exceptions.

  • AI transaction categorisation

    Vendor-memory models and rule libraries that pre-code 80–90% of recurring entries across QuickBooks, Xero and Sage, with an audit trail of every suggestion.

  • Anomaly & duplicate detection

    Automated flagging of duplicate vendor payments, out-of-policy expenses, unusual journal entries and unapplied cash before month-end.

  • Workflow automation

    Zapier, Make, Power Automate and native API integrations to move data between your practice tools, document portals and accounting files without re-keying.

  • AI-assisted reporting & commentary

    Microsoft Copilot and controlled language models draft variance commentary and close notes — always reviewed by a qualified accountant before it reaches a client.

  • Reconciliation bots

    Scheduled scripts that match bank lines, e-commerce payouts and intercompany balances, leaving only true exceptions for a human.

Automate My Boring Bits

Automation suggestions are reviewed by a qualified accountant. We do not file or publish AI-generated output without human sign-off.

Why India, and why this team

A Bookkeeping Outsourcing Partner That Behaves Like Your Back Office

India is the deepest pool of English-speaking accounting talent available to US and UK firms. The difference between a good and a painful offshore relationship is process discipline — here is ours.

CPA-supervised review layer

Every deliverable passes a senior accountant who has worked on US GAAP or UK GAAP engagements. You receive reviewed work, not raw output.

Your process, documented

We write your close checklist down once, version it, and hold the team to it — so quality survives staff turnover on either side.

24/7 coverage in your hours

Your selected offshore Associates work your hours — US Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, UK business hours, or 24/7 rotation across regions — so month-end never waits for a handover.

Cost predictability

Dedicated-resource or per-transaction pricing with no benefits, recruitment or software seat surprises. A typical 40–60% cost advantage versus local hiring.

Data security discipline

Least-privilege access, MFA, access-controlled delivery centres, signed NDAs, monitored endpoints and SOC 2-aligned controls supporting GDPR and CCPA expectations.

Senior, stable teams

Qualified and semi-qualified accountants (CA, CPA-track, ACCA, MBA-Finance) with named engagement managers — not a rotating queue.

Scales up and down

Tax season spikes and month-end crunches absorbed without hiring, then dialled back — with agreed notice periods in writing.

Zero client-facing risk

White label by default. Your brand, your email domain, your templates. We only speak to your clients if you explicitly ask.

You have read enough. Let's talk about your files, your close calendar and your worst client.

Rescue My Month-End

How onboarding works

From First Call to Reviewed Books in 2–4 Weeks

  1. Discovery call

    We review your client mix, software stack, close calendar and pain points, then propose which functions to move first.

  2. Access & process mapping

    Read-only onboarding access, NDA and data-handling paperwork, and a written checklist for each client file.

  3. Pilot batch

    Two to five accounts run in parallel with your existing team so you can compare quality line by line before committing.

  4. Scale & review

    Move the rest of the portfolio, lock a monthly close SLA, and review accuracy and turnaround in a short monthly huddle.

Bookkeeping Outsourcing India — Frequently Asked Questions

The questions CPA and accounting firm partners ask us most often, answered without the sales fog.

Bookkeeping outsourcing to India means your US or UK accounting firm hands recurring bookkeeping tasks — transaction categorisation, bank reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable and month-end close — to a trained offshore team in India. The work happens inside your own QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, NetSuite or Bill.com file, is reviewed by a senior accountant, and is delivered on a fixed schedule so your CPA team can focus on advisory work.

Our accountants work daily in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, Xero Accounting, Sage Accounting and Sage Intacct, Oracle NetSuite Accounting, Bill.com, Melio, Dext, Hubdoc, Expensify, Ramp, Brex, Gusto, ADP, Karbon, A2X, Avalara and TaxJar. We follow your chart of accounts, classes, locations and close checklist rather than forcing a template.

Yes. US engagements follow US GAAP recognition and accrual conventions, IRS recordkeeping requirements, 1099-NEC and W-2 reporting calendars, sales tax nexus tracking and the schedules CPA firms need for Form 1065, 1120, 1120-S and 990 preparation. UK engagements follow FRS 102 and FRS 105 principles, HMRC Making Tax Digital rules, VAT return cycles, CIS reporting and Companies House filing deadlines.

A dedicated offshore bookkeeper or accounting team in India typically delivers a 40 to 60 percent cost advantage over a comparable US or UK hire, with no recruitment fees, benefits, software licences or seat costs passed to you. Engagements are priced per dedicated resource or per monthly transaction volume, and you can scale up or down with notice.

Engagements run inside your own accounting software with least-privilege user roles, multi-factor authentication, secure document portals and signed NDAs. Team members work from access-controlled delivery centres on monitored devices, and we support SOC 2-aligned controls, GDPR and CCPA data handling expectations and your firm's own engagement-letter and confidentiality requirements.

Yes. White label accounting services let your firm present all work under your own brand. We work as a silent back office on your email domain, inside your project management tools such as Karbon or TaxDome, and on your templates, with no direct client contact unless you ask for it.

We layer AI and automation onto the bookkeeping stack: OCR and intelligent document processing for bills and receipts, AI transaction categorisation and bank feed matching, anomaly and duplicate-payment detection, automated AP approval routing, cash flow and KPI dashboards, and workflow automation through Zapier, Make, Power Automate and Microsoft Copilot where your firm permits it.

Discovery and access setup typically take a few days, and a pilot batch of accounts is usually in production within two to four weeks. You receive a named engagement manager, a documented close checklist and a review layer before anything reaches your client.
