The complete guide
Everything a firm needs to evaluate the dedicated offshore model: what it is, what to delegate, what it costs, how supervision works, and how the security holds up — with links to every service and guide on this site.
Offshore accounting staffing places a full-time, dedicated accountant — employed and supervised by a provider — inside your firm's workflow. At OPS-Automate that means one trained junior accountant, Mon–Fri 9–5 in your time zone, $950/month flat, with a success manager QA-checking daily output and Time Doctor verifying the hours.
The US accountant shortage isn't a cycle — graduates and CPA candidates keep declining while salaries climb. Firms that thrive split their work in two: judgment work (review, tax strategy, advisory) stays with local CPAs; production work (bookkeeping, reconciliations, AP/AR, close support) moves to dedicated offshore capacity. The result is partners billing at partner rates instead of grinding data entry — the full argument is in our shortage playbook and the offshore vs in-house comparison.
A US junior seat runs $70,000+ per year fully loaded. A dedicated offshore seat is $11,400 — with supervision, reporting and replacement included, and no payroll taxes, benefits or severance. The detailed breakdown lives on the pricing page and in the cost guide.
The model only works when quality is the provider's job, not yours: a success manager QA-checks each day's output against your conventions and emails your firm a KPI progress report every evening; Time Doctor verifies the full shift. The step-by-step engagement is on how it works, and the delegation control system is in this guide.
Client data never leaves your systems: your credentials, least-privilege scope, no local copies, monitored workstations, written NDAs, certified offboarding. The full control list is on the security page, the commitments are in the privacy policy, and the commercial risk is reversed too — no upfront payment, first 7 days free, and free immediate replacement if the fit isn't right.
No upfront payment. No contract lock-in. Your first invoice arrives after 7 days of completed work — and you only pay it if you're satisfied.
