Frequently Asked Questions
Is my financial data safe?+
Your bookkeeper signs an extensive NDA drafted with legal experts in their home country, and works inside your own accounting systems — QuickBooks, Xero or whatever you use — with the permissions you set. Your data never leaves your accounts.
Can they work with my CPA?+
Yes. Your bookkeeper prepares the monthly close and workpapers exactly like an in-house bookkeeper would, and communicates with your CPA directly by email or on calls.
How is this different from a bookkeeping service?+
US bookkeeping firms sell part-time service tiers that get expensive as your transaction volume grows. You get one dedicated person, full-time, who learns your business and handles everything daily — for a flat monthly rate.
What does it cost compared to hiring locally?+
From $1,200 per month all-in through us, versus roughly $5,000–$6,800 per month in fully-loaded employer cost for a US bookkeeper — a saving of $45,000+ per year.
