Outsource Accounting Services in the USA

Professional Virtual CFO image

There’s a moment almost every business owner hits — usually right around tax season, or right after a growth spurt — where the accounting just stops keeping up. Invoices pile up, reconciliations get pushed to “next week,” and someone on the team starts spending more time on spreadsheets than on the actual business.

That’s the moment most US businesses start looking into outsourced accounting.

SA Globus works with small businesses, startups, and CPA firms across the US to take that entire burden off their plate. We handle the books, the tax filings, the payroll, and — if you need it — the CFO-level thinking too. Not as a one-time fix, but as an ongoing part of how your finance function runs.

We’ve been doing this for a while. Our leadership team carries 35+ years of combined experience from places like Deloitte, BDO, and a few Fortune 500 companies, and today we support 100+ clients with a 99% satisfaction rate. That track record matters less than the actual work, though — so here’s what we do and how it works.

Why Outsourcing Accounting Actually Makes Sense

Hiring an in-house accountant sounds simple until you actually try it. Recruiting takes weeks. Salaries in the US for a qualified accountant aren’t small, and that’s before benefits, software, and training. And once you’ve hired someone, you’re relying on one person’s bandwidth — no backup if they’re on leave, no extra capacity during tax season.

Outsourcing flips that equation. Instead of one hire, you get a full team — bookkeepers, tax preparers, payroll specialists, and CFO-level advisors — for less than what a single in-house accountant would cost you. You’re not paying for downtime, and you’re not stuck when something urgent comes up.

It’s not about cutting corners. It’s about getting the same (often better) expertise, structured in a way that actually fits how a growing business operates.

What SA Globus Handles For You

We don’t believe in generic accounting packages. Depending on whether you’re a small business or a CPA firm, the services look a little different — but here’s the full range.

Bookkeeping Daily transaction entries, bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and monthly closing — done consistently, so your books are never a mess you have to untangle later.

Tax Preparation If you’re looking to outsource tax preparation services, we handle the entire process — gathering documents, organizing data, and preparing federal and state returns that are ready for final review. For CPA firms, this alone can cut busy-season workload dramatically.

Virtual CFO Support You don’t need a full-time CFO to get CFO-level insight. Our virtual CFO services cover budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and financial strategy — the kind of guidance that usually only comes with a six-figure hire.

Payroll We manage payroll processing, tax compliance, employee reporting, and year-end W-2/1099 prep — so paydays are never a scramble.

Audit Support (for CPA Firms) We help prepare workpapers and audit documentation that keeps your engagements on track, without pulling your own staff away from client-facing work.

White-Label Back-Office for CPA Firms If you’re a CPA firm exploring white label accounting services, we work quietly behind the scenes. Everything goes out under your brand — your clients just see accurate, on-time work, the same way they always have.

Small Business or CPA Firm — We Work With Both, Differently

If you’re a small business owner trying to decide between hiring an accountant or outsourcing the work, the math usually favors outsourcing — especially early on. You get a full team instead of one hire, and you can scale the support as your business grows, without going through another hiring cycle every time.

If you’re running a CPA firm and looking to hire an offshore accountant or build a white-label back-office, we become an extension of your team. We take on the repetitive, volume-heavy work — bookkeeping, tax prep, audit prep — so your in-house staff can focus on advisory and client relationships instead of production work.

What Makes SA Globus Different

A lot of firms say they offer “cost-effective, scalable” accounting support. Fair enough — so do we. But here’s what that actually looks like in practice:

Our team is made up of Chartered Accountants and US-CPA professionals, not junior staff learning on the job. Every engagement goes through a structured, multi-level review before anything reaches you, so mistakes get caught early. We’re partner-led, which means you’re talking to experienced people directly, not being routed through layers of account managers.

On the technology side, we plug into whatever you’re already using — QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Zoho Books, SAP, Gusto, ADP, Paycor, Paylocity, Rippling, Google Workspace. No forcing you onto new software just to work with us.

And on data security — every engagement runs on encrypted data sharing, controlled access, and signed confidentiality agreements. Your financial data doesn’t move around loosely.

Getting Started Doesn’t Take Long

We keep onboarding simple, because switching to an outsourced model shouldn’t feel like a project in itself.

First, we get on a call and understand how your business actually runs — your current setup, where things are breaking down, and what you need most. From there, we build a transition plan and migrate your processes without disrupting your day-to-day work. Once we’re live, our team takes over execution — bookkeeping, tax, payroll, or CFO support, depending on what you’ve signed up for — and you get regular updates and reporting so you always know where things stand.

No long lock-in periods, no rigid packages. As your business grows, the engagement grows with it.

Common Questions

What exactly does “outsourcing accounting” mean?

It means handing off your bookkeeping, tax prep, payroll, or CFO-level work to an external team like SA Globus, instead of hiring and managing that function in-house.

Is it safe to outsource accounting for a small business? 

Yes, as long as the firm you work with takes data security seriously. SA Globus uses encrypted data sharing, controlled access, and confidentiality agreements on every engagement.

How much does this cost? 

It depends on your transaction volume and which services you need. In most cases, it costs meaningfully less than hiring a full-time in-house accountant. Book a discovery call and we’ll give you a real number, not a guess.

Can I just outsource tax prep, without full bookkeeping?

Yes. Tax preparation can stand alone, or you can combine it with bookkeeping, payroll, and CFO support — whatever actually fits your situation.

Do you work with startups, or only established businesses?

Both. Our virtual CFO and bookkeeping services are used by early-stage startups just as much as established SMEs.

Where is SA Globus actually based?

Headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, with a US office at 224 W 35th St, New York, NY 10001. Our team works across US time zones, so communication stays timely regardless of where you’re located.

Do you work with CPA firms too, or just direct businesses? 

Both. CPA firms typically use our white-label back-office model, while businesses use us for a more complete outsourced finance function.
