The Role

What an Accountant Handles for Your Team

When the month-end close drags on, your controller spends weeks fixing entries instead of reading the numbers. With offshore accounting in the Philippines, a proven Filipino professional reviews the close, reconciles the balance sheet, and prepares your statements. Your controller or CFO still signs off, so control stays with your team.

Your offshore hire will typically:

  • Prepare monthly and annual financial statements
  • Review the month-end close and journal entries
  • Reconcile every balance sheet account monthly
  • Support tax return prep and sales tax filings
  • Track inventory value and cost of goods sold

Works in the tools you already use:

QuickBooks
Excel
NetSuite
Xero

A Close That Ends on Time

Journal entries get reviewed early, so each close finishes on time.

Statements You Can Trust

Every balance sheet account ties out before your leaders see a report.

Time Back for Your Controller

Your finance lead reviews finished work instead of building it alone.

Why the Philippines

Why Choose a Filipino Accountant?

You can hire offshore finance and accounting help in many countries. Here is what sets accountants in the Philippines apart.

Thousands of New CPAs

In 2025 alone, 6,616 people passed the national CPA licensing exam, across two sittings held in May and in October.

Trained on Global Standards

The country adopted IFRS, the international accounting standards, as its own, so accountants learn one global system.

Strong Business English

English is an official language for teaching, and the Philippines ranks 28th of 123 countries for English proficiency, ahead of India and Colombia.

A Mature Finance Sector

Its outsourcing industry employs 1.89 million people, and it lists finance and accounting among its mature services.

More Staffing helps mid-market U.S. companies hire offshore accountants in the Philippines. Your accountant runs reconciliations, the month-end close, and clean financial statements. Every candidate passes six vetting gates before you meet them. You pay $1,000 a month plus your hire's pay, and a $1,000 one-time engagement fee.

The Math

How Much an Offshore Accountant Saves You

We put a U.S. accountant next to one in the Philippines and counted every cost, from pay to hiring.

Estimates only. U.S. figures use BLS median pay plus benefits and hiring costs. Offshore figures are based on our current rates for mid-level Filipino hires. Entry-level costs less, senior costs more. Exact figures on your call.

FAQ

Questions About Hiring an Offshore Accountant

Which accounting tasks can move offshore, and who checks the numbers?

Most review and reporting work moves well: the month-end close, journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, financial statements, and tax prep support. Your controller or CFO still reviews the numbers and signs off, so control stays with your team. Our work assignment gate tests each candidate on real reconciliations first.

How much does an offshore accountant save compared with a U.S. hire?

You save $70,455 in year one. A U.S. accountant costs $125,055 with benefits, taxes, and recruiting. Hiring through us totals $54,600, based on what our mid-level hires are paid. Entry-level accountants earn less, and senior ones earn more. You get exact figures on your call.

Our team is behind on the monthly close. How do we catch up?

Add an accountant who owns the close checklist, from journal entries to balance sheet reconciliations, so each month starts clean. Many teams use offshore accounting services this way, with a proven Filipino professional who works your hours. Most hires start 3 to 4 weeks after your first call.

What should we check when we hire offshore accountants in the Philippines?

Check financial statement accuracy, balance sheet reconciliations, experience with U.S. client books, and clear written English. Every candidate passes six vetting gates before you meet them, including a work assignment and a tech check. Your hire works your time zone or an agreed overlap, confirmed before the search starts.

Will an offshore accountant stay, and what if it does not work out?

We support your hire well past the first day, starting with a 30 to 90 day onboarding plan. Your accountant also gets coaching, community, and events through our monthly fee. If the fit still falls short, you get 1 free replacement over the first 12 months.
