Offshore accounting staff for CPA and tax firms

Entigrity Solutions LLC supplies offshore staff to accounting, CPA and tax firms. Accountants and tax professionals are the only clients the company says it serves, and it counts more than 600 firms across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom among them. Its offer is built on the idea that a firm can hand routine accounting work to trained staff working offshore, so that its senior accountants can spend their time on the client work that needs them most.

Bookkeeping and ledger work

Much of the placed work is bookkeeping. Staff post account transactions, maintain ledgers, receive and sort incoming payments, and verify accounts by reconciling statements against transactions. The company says these staff keep financial data updated and accurate and make information available across platforms, so that a supervising CPA can rely on it. Staff work under a senior accountant and are expected to take on several tasks, which the company sees as one of the qualities that make them useful.

Tax preparation and reporting

Tax support covers helping to prepare financial documents, such as tax returns, so that they meet legal requirements. Staff are also asked to monitor and analyze accounting data and to produce financial reports. The company says its staff can help a firm develop strategies and policies that stay within tax regulations, although the final responsibility rests with the firm's own professionals.

Administration and audit support

Accounting administration takes in payment handling, clerical duties and the general administrative tasks that accounting offices carry. Audit support helps with the audit process and with client support, so that the work of the firm is carried through in an orderly way. The company says its staff also update databases and carry out market research for accounting businesses that want to grow their client base.

Virtual assistants and social media

Beyond the accounting functions, the company provides virtual assistants who can take on calendar management, travel bookings and the planning of social media posts. The company presents these as part of the wider support a busy firm needs, so that its partners are free to focus on their clients.

The offshore model

Entigrity describes its staffing as more than a way to save money. The company says that the value lies in the quality, flexibility and detail of the people placed, and in the way they are integrated into a firm's own working routines. It belongs to the BDO Alliance USA, a national grouping of independently owned accounting and consulting practices, and it presents that membership as a source of support for independent firms.
