Your back office in India.
Your standards. Up to 65% less cost.

Against a fully loaded US in-house cost of $115,000–$145,000 a year for a staff accountant, a full-time ComplyV accountant at $2,600 a month ($31,200 a year) is roughly a 73% reduction in direct cost. Once you allow for the review and coordination time your own team spends, a realistic net saving in year one is 55–65%, rising after the first two quarters. UK savings run slightly lower at 45–55%, Australian savings slightly higher at 60–70%, because local loaded costs differ.

Yes, in all four jurisdictions we serve — with disclosure. In the United States, IRC §7216 requires written client consent in a prescribed format before tax return information is disclosed to a preparer outside the US, and AICPA rules keep your firm responsible for the work. Australia’s TPB Code requires you to notify clients that an offshore provider is used. The UK requires a lawful GDPR transfer mechanism, and Canada requires PIPEDA-compliant safeguards. We supply the templates for all four. Confirm the detail with your professional body — this is a summary, not legal advice.

If your monthly volume is below about 60 hours, hourly is cheapest. Between 60 and 140 hours a month, a part-time FTE at 80 hours usually wins on effective rate. Above 140 hours, a full-time FTE at $1,600–$3,600 a month is materially cheaper per hour than anything else. For seasonal tax work with no year-round base, per-return pricing avoids paying for idle capacity entirely. Send us your volume and we will model all four and show you the workings.

Almost certainly. We work daily in QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Sage 50, MYOB and FreeAgent; and in Drake, UltraTax, Lacerte, ProSeries, CCH Axcess, SurePrep, IRIS, TaxCalc, CaseWare, TaxCycle, Profile and Taxprep. QuickBooks Desktop needs a hosted environment or VPN access from your side. If you use something not on this list, tell us — the learning curve for a qualified accountant is days, not months.

Our standard delivery window is 9:00–18:00 IST, with shifted teams available. We commit to a minimum four-hour live overlap with your business day — roughly 06:30–10:30 US Eastern, 07:00–11:00 UK, or a full overlap with Australian eastern hours. Dedicated full-time staff can be assigned to a shifted roster at no premium.

You tell us within the first 90 days and we replace them at no charge, including the handover time. You also interview candidates before allocation, so a poor fit is rare. For hourly and per-return work there is no commitment at all — you simply stop sending work.

Work is performed inside your environment wherever possible — your VPN, your hosted desktop, your portal — so client files do not leave your control. The delivery floor has no removable media, no personal email and no printing. Every person has an individual login with multi-factor authentication and full audit logging, is background-verified, and has signed a confidentiality undertaking that survives termination. Controls are aligned to ISO 27001 and we carry cyber liability insurance.

No, and no compliant provider should offer to. Lodgement and e-filing are regulated activities requiring local registration — a US PTIN-holding preparer, a UK agent, an Australian registered tax or BAS agent, or a Canadian efiler. We prepare to review-ready standard; your licensed agent reviews, signs and files. That division is exactly what keeps your registration safe.

Hourly: 40 hours a month. Dedicated staff: one month’s notice either way, no annual lock-in. Per return: no minimum — send one return if you want to test us. Monthly business packages: month to month, cancel with 30 days’ notice. We do not use annual contracts to hold clients who want to leave.

Yes. For firms, we run a paid pilot batch — five returns or one month of one client’s books — at standard rates, so you can mark up real output before signing anything larger. For businesses, we will prepare one prior month of bookkeeping and give you the financial statements before you pay anything, so you can see the quality of the close for yourself.
