Service · Offshore accounting

Your books closewhile London sleeps.

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.

Overview

Offshore accounting.

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.

What we need from you

Six things
that keep the calendar moving.

Most delays in outsourced work start with an unclear hand-off. These are agreed in writing before the first month.

  • Named access to your software

    Individual logins to your accounting and document tools; no shared credentials.

  • Your close checklist

    Or we build one with you in the first month, and you approve it.

  • Chart of accounts and policies

    Your coding rules, materiality thresholds and accounting policies.

  • A reviewer on your side

    One person who reviews our output and answers queries in the overlap window.

  • Data-transfer terms

    A data processing agreement that meets your own data-protection law on international transfers.

  • Client consent where needed

    If you are a firm, your clients' consent to offshore processing where your rules require it.
