Why Accounting Firms Are Turning to Finsmart Accounting for Stress-Free Offshoring

As an accounting firm owner, the challenges are endless – rising costs, increasing client demands, introducing new services, and the constant need to develop a niche. All while ensuring you have access to top-quality talent and providing the best customer service for accounting firms. Wearing multiple hats can often lead to stress, errors, and unseen gaps in business operations. None of it gets any easier, at least not without the help you need.

This is where offshoring comes in as a game-changer. Accounting firms, today, are in dire need of streamlined operations, increased profitability and focus on high-value advisory services. For almost 2 decades, Finsmart Accounting has been helping 160+ firms achieve these goals.

India continues to remain the leading destination for offshore accounting services globally. The country boasts of a robust education system that helps produce highly skilled accountants and a favorable cost structure. It is estimated by 2025, India will capture over 40% of the global offshoring accounting market because of its tech-savvy workforce and new-age outsourcing infrastructure. Utilizing these benefits, Finsmart Accounting continues to deploy top-notch talent who understand the US accounting market, their goals, and aspirations.

Let us explore why Finsmart Accounting has become a preferred offshoring choice for many accounting firms in the US:

1. Addressing the accounting talent shortage:
   The accounting talent shortage continues to be a critical issue. Reasons include baby boomers retiring, gap in tech skills, stringent certification requirements, work-life balance issues, and a lack of interest from younger people. The accountant shortfall is expected to rise to 1,40,000 by 2027.Hiring skilled resources for the profession has become expensive, and time-consuming. Small firms are also compelled to compete against larger firms with better means to find and retain talent.
   
   With Finsmart Accounting, small accounting firms can bridge this gap – thanks to the high-quality offshore accountants who follow an embedded model. This means that the team not only integrates seamlessly with the firm, but the latter also saves the time required to train the new resources. Instead of struggling with recruitment, firms can access pre-vetted, trained professionals who can handle it all – bookkeeping, review, tax preparation, reporting, SOPs, and so much more. 

   How Finsmart makes it stress-free:

   • Say goodbye to hiring headaches with the ready-to-work talent.
   • Get teams trained in US accounting standards and tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite.
   • Work with teams in overlapping time zones, ensuring flexible engagement models tailored to your firm’s needs.
2. Scale effectively without compromising on the quality:
   
   Scalability is a persistent pain for small accounting firms. When trying to acquire new clients or introduce new services, it is important to have a team that can handle it all. Hiring locally can be expensive and workload fluctuations make it hard to justify full-time hires. When firms offshore with Finsmart, it allows them to scale up and down effortlessly without increasing the overhead costs.
   
   Instead of constantly being worried about hiring, training, and retaining employees, firms can utilize the offshore team at a fraction of the cost. It helps them lower operational expenses, increase profit margins, and have more flexibility. 

   How is scaling easier with Finsmart?

   • On-demand support to match the seasonal workload
   • Transparent pricing with no hidden costs
   • No cost of expensive infrastructure – Finsmart’s got it covered
3. More time for CAS:
   The key accounting functions like bookkeeping and tax compliance are essential, but they can be time-consuming. Many small firms get stuck in the routine to a level that they find no time for value-added advisory services that are essential for growth.
   
   When accounting firm owners offshore their operational overload to a team of experts, accountants can get back their time and focus on strategic advisory services, such as financial planning, strategy, and other CAS practices. This helps the firms establish themselves as a trusted partner, and increase client satisfaction, and revenue. 

   How do you make room for CAS with Finsmart?

   • The offshore team handles bookkeeping, payroll, reconciliation, and compliance for you
   • You can dedicate more time to client relationships and business growth
   • As efficiency increases and the TAT reduces, it leads to better service delivery and improved profitability

    

4. Seamless integration with your firm’s technology:
   Are you worried that when you offshore, you have to lose a lot of time in onboarding and training the new team on your technology and systems? The team at Finsmart Accounting is tech-agnostic. Also, as a part of the embedded model, the teams can seamlessly align with the tech you use.
   
   Finsmart’s offshore accountants are trained in the latest accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, etc, to ensure a seamless transition. Your offshore teams are not a third-party support system. They work as an extension of your team, adopting your processes and tools for a seamless workflow. 

   How does Finsmart alleviate the tech stress off of you?

   • The team of professionals are trained in cloud accounting platforms
   • They work in real-time with your team, just like an additional staff member
   • They are completely compliant with security protocols to protect client data

    

5. Building a global, future-ready team:
   The world has come closer and the accounting firms that succeed are the ones that are going global. When firms embrace offshore talent, they gain a competitive advantage by building a diverse, skilled, and scalable team that allows them to grow without limits. Finsmart Accounting allows small firms to position themselves as future-ready, leveraging offshore expertise to optimize costs, improve efficiency, and deliver better client services. 

   How does Finsmart Accounting make it stress-free?

   • Access to a global talent pool for long-term growth

   • Future-proofing the firm against talent shortages and economic uncertainties

   Small accounting firms have loads of responsibility to stay competitive, manage costs, and deliver exceptional client service. Offshoring provides a strategic advantage, but only when done with the right partner.
