Offshore accounting: what moves and what stays
Which tasks travel well to an India team, which stay with you, and how to set the hand-offs so the month-end keeps to its timetable.
Bookkeeping, reconciliations, month-end support and management reports for firms and businesses in the UK, the US and the UAE, delivered from New Delhi in your own software.
Offshore accounting works when the hand-offs are clear. You keep the relationships, the judgement calls and the sign-off. The repeatable work of the month moves to a team that works while you don't, on a checklist you both can see.
In winter New Delhi is five and a half hours ahead of London and ten and a half ahead of New York. Work you send at the end of your day is processed by the start of your next, with questions queued for the overlap window.
Scope: preview, to be confirmed
