What back office accounting support covers
The whole function rather than a task list: day to day entries through to the financial statements on top of them.
Outsourced accounting, or back office accounting and bookkeeping support, is the accounting department run by somebody else. Day to day transactions go into the books, accounts payable and receivable are managed, the bank is reconciled, and the financial reporting and cash flow statements come out of the same set of records. The scope covers what an in house accounting department handles, in the same order it handles it.
The value is not only in the entries being made. It is in better reporting of the numbers once they are, in the control and transparency that comes from a second set of trained eyes on the ledger, and in being able to answer a question about the business on the day it is asked rather than at the year end.
For a CPA or bookkeeping firm the arithmetic is different again. Outsourcing the production work lets the firm take on more accounts without hiring against them, which is the difference between turning work away and growing the practice.

Why US firms outsource to LegalWiz.in

- Certified professionals with experience across a wide range of industries
What you get in the accounting and bookkeeping service
Six areas of work. Take all of them, or only the ones you do not want to staff for.
How an engagement is set up
A call before anything else
What you need, what you already run, and which of the two fee models fits. Nothing is scoped over email.
Access on your terms
Files shared over the internet, or remote desktop access to your own server. The books stay where they are.
A named team, not a queue
The same accountants on your account, with a regular call to go through the numbers rather than a ticket to raise.
White label accounting
The work is delivered under your firm’s name. Your clients deal with you throughout, and the certified accountants behind it are ours.
Accounts payable and receivable
Money owed and money due, kept in step. AP and AR reporting is what lets a business hold its supplier and customer relationships without chasing either.
Bank reconciliation
The credits and debits reconciled every month. It is the exercise that confirms a transaction happened at all, and the one that catches fraud and error in the books.
Payroll
Employees paid accurately and on time, every cycle, without the inefficiency and cost of running the calculation in house.
General ledger and financial statements
The ledger maintained and the statements prepared from your existing records. Statement analysis and quarterly and year end filings where you want them.
Full service back office accounting
All of the above as one engagement, from daily operations through to the annual financial statements, so there is one team rather than four vendors.
Scope is agreed before an engagement starts. Nothing above is a fixed bundle, and a firm that only wants reconciliation and payroll takes only those.
Why firms outsource this function
The argument a practice makes to itself before it makes the call.
Take on more accounts without hiring against them
A firm that outsources its production work can carry more clients at no added headcount cost, which goes straight to the margin. It is how a practice builds a name in its market without breaking its own bank to do it.
A real reduction in in house cost
Staying competitive means holding costs down while the work goes up. Moving the production accounting off your own payroll is the largest single lever most small practices have, and it does not touch the client relationship.
The cycle runs whether you are watching or not
Accounting starts when the information arrives and does not stop. Handing it to a team that works it as a continuous cycle is what leaves you with records that are current on any given day rather than current in April.
Experienced staff without the hiring
Recruiting, training and keeping good accounting staff is the problem most US firms name first. Outsourcing removes the hiring cost and still puts qualified people on your clients’ accounts.

Although the filing took around 3 days, the team stayed connected throughout, provided clear updates, and there were no communication issues. Overall, a very professional and reliable experience.

Still have a question? Our team is happy to help, at no charge and with no obligation to buy anything.
How does outsourcing accounting help my firm?
Hiring, training and keeping good accounting staff is the problem most firms name first, and it is the one outsourcing is aimed at.
Outsourcing gives you access to experienced staff at rates well below a US hire, and it scales with the work rather than with your recruitment.
How do you handle data security and client confidentiality?
The office runs a paperless process with limited internet access on the floor, and an information security system governs who can reach what.
Access to your systems is on credentials you issue and can withdraw. The books stay in your software.
How do I share my work and information with you?
Most engagements are web based, so files and communication go over the internet. A brief description or a document is enough to start.
Where the work has to run on your own machines, the team will need remote desktop access to your server.
What if I want to stop the service?
The contract is annual and carries a 60 day termination for convenience clause. Written notice is all that is required, and no reason has to be given.
For what it is worth, the firm’s retention rate is 90%.
How is the fee structured?
Two models. A full time equivalent arrangement, where you are buying a share of a person’s time, or a flat fee for a defined scope.
Which one fits depends on how predictable the volume is, and it is settled at the initial meeting rather than quoted off a page.
What qualifications do your staff hold?
Every accountant on the team has at least three years of experience in the US accounting industry.
The wider team includes chartered accountants and certified professionals, and the hiring bar is a problem solving attitude as much as a qualification.
We already use QuickBooks. Do we have to change anything?
No. The team works inside the software you already run, and the list on this page is what it is trained on.
If your platform is not shown, ask. Moving a set of books between systems is a project of its own and is not something to take on as a side effect of outsourcing.
Can the work be delivered under our own brand?
Yes. White label is one of the six areas of the service: the output goes to your clients under your firm’s name and they deal only with you.
It is the arrangement most CPA and bookkeeping firms take, and it is why several of them are on the industries list above.
