OFFSHORE ACCOUNTANTS STAFFING
Hire pre-vetted offshore accountants from India, the Philippines, and Latin America at 60%+ below US salary costs. Kore BPO places full-time, dedicated accounting professionals who cover your full accounting cycle with the same quality output you expect from a domestic hire.
Finance Expertise, Global Delivery
Offshore accountants handle the same work as their US counterparts at a fraction of the cost. The difference is geography, not quality.
An offshore accountant is a full-time accounting professional based in a lower-cost country who manages your full accounting cycle remotely, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting. They work within agreed hours, use the same accounting software your team uses (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP), and deliver the same output quality as a US-based hire. The cost difference comes entirely from geography: India, the Philippines, and Latin America produce large pools of degree-qualified, GAAP-familiar accountants at salary levels 60% below the US market. Kore BPO sources, screens, and places these professionals so you skip the search entirely.
Same Output. Lower Cost. Full-Time Commitment.
Unlike freelancers or part-time contractors, every Kore BPO offshore accountant is placed as a dedicated, full-time member of your team. They work your hours, attend your standups, and operate inside your systems with proper access controls and security protocols in place.

Offshore Accounting Staffing Works When
✓ Good Fit
- ✓ SMBs scaling their finance team without scaling US salary costs
- ✓ Companies with repetitive, high-volume AP or AR processing needs
- ✓ Teams that need US-hours overlap for real-time collaboration on close cycles
- ✓ Businesses that want a full-time dedicated employee, not a contractor or freelancer
- ✓ CFOs looking to reduce cost without reducing accounting quality or output
✕ Less Ideal
- ✕ Companies that require daily in-person meetings at a physical office location
- ✕ Highly regulated roles that legally require an on-site US CPA license holder
- ✕ Teams that do not have the management bandwidth to onboard and direct a remote staff member

Offshore Accountants: Common Questions
What types of accounting tasks can an offshore accountant handle?
Offshore accountants placed through Kore BPO can cover the full accounting cycle: accounts payable and receivable processing, bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, month-end and year-end close, financial statement preparation, expense reporting, payroll support, and routine audit preparation. The specific scope depends on the seniority level you hire. A staff accountant handles transactional volume efficiently; a senior accountant can own the close process independently; an accounting manager can supervise a small team and interface with your CFO or external auditors.
Do offshore accountants know US GAAP?
Yes. India, the Philippines, and Eastern Europe all produce large pools of accountants trained specifically for US GAAP standards, as these regions have supported US accounting outsourcing for over two decades. Our candidate screen includes GAAP-specific assessment questions covering revenue recognition, accrual accounting, and balance sheet treatment to verify genuine familiarity before we present a candidate. If your environment uses IFRS or a hybrid approach, we screen for that as well during the discovery call.
What time zones will my offshore accountant work in?
We offer flexibility on timezone alignment depending on your region preference. Latin America (Colombia, Mexico, Argentina) provides near-full US timezone overlap with 0-2 hour differences from Eastern time. Philippines-based accountants typically work night shifts aligned to US business hours, which is standard practice there. India-based placements can offer partial or full US hours overlap depending on the candidate. We discuss timezone requirements during the scoping call and match your preference before sourcing begins.
Who provides the equipment and software access?
Kore BPO handles equipment provisioning as part of the onboarding process. Your offshore accountant receives a company-grade laptop and peripherals before their start date. Software access (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, or your internal systems) is set up by your IT team using standard remote access provisioning. We provide a documented onboarding checklist that covers both equipment and system access steps to make the first week smooth.
How is financial data security handled with an offshore accountant?
Security for offshore accounting placements follows the same protocols you would use for any remote employee. Your offshore accountant accesses your systems through your existing VPN, SSO, or secure remote desktop setup. Kore BPO requires all placed staff to sign comprehensive NDAs and data security agreements before starting. Role-based access controls, audit logging, and MFA requirements are implemented by your IT team the same way they would be for any other remote hire. We recommend this be covered during your internal onboarding process and can connect you with guidance documentation if needed.
How does pricing work for offshore accountants through Kore BPO?
Kore BPO charges a flat monthly rate that covers the accountant’s salary, benefits, payroll administration, equipment, and your dedicated account manager. There are no upfront placement fees and no long-term contract lock-ins. Rates vary by seniority level and region: staff accountant roles in India or the Philippines typically range from $1,500 to $2,800 per month all-in; senior accountant roles range from $2,800 to $4,500 per month; Latin America placements carry a modest premium for closer timezone alignment.
