Only Meet Candidates Worth Your Time

Here's how Accountably screens candidates (so you don't have to).

Active search for accounting talent

We recruit accountants and tax preparers in India against your must-haves: the returns you file, the software you run, and the experience the seat needs.

Six weeks of US tax and accounting training

Nothing moves forward until the training is done. Every new hire goes through six weeks of US tax and accounting onboarding before placement, then weekly technical sessions and monthly IRS updates.

Mock returns (run by us)

We look for:

  • Workpapers tied back to source
  • Your SOPs followed on every file
  • Open questions written down, not guessed at
  • Work in your software, not ours

Free 40-hour pilot

We prepare a block of your own representative work in your software, and your reviewer grades it. You get the results before you commit a single client file.

Thorough background checks and NDAs

Every hire is background-verified and under NDA before they see any client data. Access is by role, over a secure VPN, and nothing is stored on personal machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Talk to us.

Get in Touch

Accountably helps US CPA, EA, and accounting firms hire trained accountants and tax preparers in India through full-service offshore staffing.

We recruit, train, and place people who work inside your firm, in your software and on your SOPs. We handle everything from recruiting to background checks, training, and quality review, so you can add capacity without another local hire.

If the work is accounting or tax, we can help you fill the seat. That includes tax preparers and tax reviewers; staff accountants, bookkeepers, accounting assistants, AP and AR specialists, and payroll specialists; audit associates, financial analysts, and credit analysts; and accounting managers, finance managers, and virtual CFOs. See all roles.

An offshore seat typically costs 40-70% less than a comparable US hire. A full-time seat usually comes to $1,800 to $2,500 a month, against $69,000 to $117,000 a year for a US staff accountant once taxes and benefits are added.

India Standard Time is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of the continental US, depending on your time zone and daylight saving. Talk to us about how working hours are set up for your firm.

Every new hire goes through six weeks of US tax and accounting onboarding before placement, then weekly technical sessions and monthly IRS updates. Before any live work, they practise on mock returns in your software.

Yes. A dedicated hire works only for your firm, inside your workflow, in your software and on your SOPs. If you'd rather hand over the work itself, a white-label team can prepare returns under your name instead.

Our headquarters is in Austin, Texas, and the team sits in our delivery centre in Ahmedabad, India.

SOC 2-aligned controls, NDA-backed and background-verified staff, role-based access over a secure VPN, encrypted file exchange, audit logs, and nothing stored on personal machines. How we handle client data.

We prepare a block of your own representative work in your software, and your reviewer grades it before you commit a single client file.

Accounting seats run about $11 an hour and tax seats about $14, roughly $1,800 to $2,500 a month for a full-time seat. There's no long-term contract: it runs month to month after the pilot. See pricing.

Every account has backup coverage, documented processes, and cross-trained team members. If someone leaves, we replace them at no additional cost, and a trained replacement shadows them during their notice period.

Every hire is background-verified and under NDA, trained for six weeks, tested on mock returns, and graded on a free 40-hour pilot of your own work before you commit. If the fit is wrong in the first 30 days, we replace them free.
