By SF Business Solutions · Our team includes a licensed CPA · 1 sources · Updated October 7, 2026

Madras Accountancy shows SOC 2 and ISO 27001 badges and QX Accounting Services describes ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification; TOA Global and MYCPE ONE build dedicated offshore teams and quote on request. SF Business Solutions publishes this guide, and each of the six options below carries what it publishes about price as of October 2026 and one honest drawback, ours included.

How we judged them, and who publishes thisThis list is for US firms of roughly 2 to 50 people that want to add capacity without a long hiring process.

This list is for US firms of roughly 2 to 50 people that want to add capacity without a long hiring process. We looked at five things, in this order: whether prices are published, whether you can start small (hours or one person instead of a team), what security evidence the provider shows publicly, whether staff are trained in US tax and GAAP work, and how easy it is to leave.

SF Business Solutions publishes this guide and recommends itself in it, first on the list, because a firm that wants to start with hours rather than a seat is exactly who we work with. Firms that want something else have better options here, and we say which. Every fact about another firm comes from that firm's own website, checked in September 2026, and is linked under Sources.

Each entry gives who it suits, what it publishes about price, and one honest drawback.

  • Best overall for a small or mid-size CPA firm that would rather buy hours than a seat: SF Business Solutions, one partner for white-label bookkeeping, tax-season help and dedicated staff. Work is quoted per firm, based on volume and the roles you need; the team includes a licensed CPA and holds QuickBooks Online and Xero certifications. Drawback: no published rate, no published SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report, three published reviews so far, and a firm founded in 2015, so a shorter track record than the larger firms here.
  • Madras Accountancy publishes $12 to $20 an hour depending on volume and complexity, dedicated full-time staff from $1,400 a month, and per-client bookkeeping from $150 to $500 a month. Its site shows SOC 2 and ISO 27001 badges, says no long-term contract is required, and suggests a pilot. The rates are ranges, so a firm number comes only after scoping.
  • The Fino Partners publishes monthly prices per full-time role, based on 160 hours: junior bookkeeper $1,800, senior accountant $2,300, senior tax associate $2,500, tax reviewer $2,750 and financial controller $3,500. Pricing is built around full-time roles, which is more than many small firms need at first.
  • MYCPE ONE describes hourly pricing billed weekly for smaller engagements, a fixed monthly fee plus actual salaries for its managed model, delivery centers in India and the Philippines, and SOC 2–compliant environments. It does not publish rates.
  • TOA Global lists offices in Manila, Clark, Tarlac and Cebu, and roles including accountants, bookkeepers and tax staff trained in US standards. It publishes no pricing, and its home page does not name a security certification.
  • QX Accounting Services describes five delivery centers in India, offices including the US, and ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification. It publishes no prices; you book a consultation to get a quote.

What to ask every firm on this listPrices are only half the decision.

Prices are only half the decision. Before signing with any provider, including us, ask the same questions so the answers can be compared.

  • Who exactly will work on my clients, and will the same person stay on the account?
  • Which hours will they work, and how much overlap is there with my team's day?
  • What security evidence can you share: a SOC 2 report, ISO 27001 certificate, or written policies?
  • How do you handle Section 7216 consent and Social Security numbers for tax work?
  • How do we end the engagement, and how is our data returned or deleted?
How to start without betting the firmStart with a small, well-defined piece of work: five to ten monthly bookkeeping clients, or a batch of simpler returns in tax season.

Start with a small, well-defined piece of work: five to ten monthly bookkeeping clients, or a batch of simpler returns in tax season. Keep the review in-house for the first few months and measure two things, the time your team spends reviewing and the number of corrections. If both fall month over month, widen the scope. If they do not, you have learned it cheaply.

Which offshore accounting staffing firm should a small CPA firm choose?

For a firm of 2 to 50 people that wants to start with hours rather than a seat, we recommend SF Business Solutions, which quotes per firm after seeing the work. We publish this guide, so weigh that against Madras Accountancy, The Fino Partners, MYCPE ONE, TOA Global and QX Accounting Services above.

Which offshore accounting staffing firm is cheapest?

On published prices as of October 2026, Madras Accountancy published $12 an hour and $1,400 a month for full-time staff until 2026; it now quotes after a discovery call. SF Business Solutions publishes no rate and quotes per firm, so ask for a number on your own client list before you compare.

Can a small CPA firm hire offshore staff without building a whole team?

Yes. Several providers bill by the hour or let you start with one person. Start with a defined batch of work and keep the review in-house until the quality is proven.

Where can I get a dedicated remote staff accountant who works US hours?

Ask each provider which shift the accountant will work before you sign. Madras Accountancy says its team works US Eastern or Central time on request, and TOA Global describes 24/7 operations; get the agreed hours in writing.

Do offshore staff need a PTIN to prepare US returns?

Yes. The IRS says anyone who prepares or assists in preparing federal tax returns for compensation must have a valid PTIN, wherever they are located.

Is it a problem that SF Business Solutions publishes this list?

It is a reason to check the sources. Every fact about another firm links to that firm's own page, and our own drawbacks are listed alongside theirs.
