Accounting outsourcing for reliable financial operations, from $1,260 a month, all in

Sourcefit’s accounting rates are $1,260 a month for entry level, $2,010 for mid level and $2,760 for senior accounting staff, per full-time employee working from home. Office-based staff add $100 a month. Each rate is all in: salary and benefits at cost plus the $395 management fee. There are no setup, recruitment or exit fees. Where the work suits it, output-based pricing is also available, built on the same transparent framework: we show how the unit price is calculated, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

No. The fee is already inside every rate on this page and on every quote. A $1,260 rate is about $865 of salary and benefits at cost plus the $395 fee. You will never see the fee added to a rate you were quoted.

Legal employment and compliance with an HR team on the ground, recruitment, an i5 computer with dual monitors and headset, a 24/7 IT help desk, a secure managed network, our security certifications and insurance, training and quality, client success management and the Knit workforce platform. For office-based staff it also covers the seat, office network and utilities.

Most accounting roles are recruited, interviewed and onboarded in two to three weeks. Senior accountants with US GAAP experience can take longer. You interview and choose the accounting staff.

That is your choice. Most clients manage the team directly: the accounting staff report to your managers and work inside your processes and tools, with Sourcefit handling employment, HR, equipment, IT and quality support behind them. If you would rather not manage day to day, our Sightline model builds an autonomous team with its own Sourcefit team lead and quality layer that delivers against agreed SLAs, while still reporting directly to you and working to your KPIs, not ours. Sightline is quoted separately.

Yes. Accounting staff work in your accounting, payroll and reporting systems, such as QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Bill.com, ADP or Gusto, under your access rules. You keep ownership of every account, and access is revoked the day someone leaves.

Sourcefit holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701 certification directly, is PCI DSS validated, has a SOC 2 report, signs HIPAA business associate agreements where needed and operates GDPR-aligned data handling. Home-based staff work on company-managed computers over a VPN with traffic routed through Cloudflare.

The team is yours. If you decide to move them to your own entity or take them with you, they go with you. There is no transfer fee, buyout or conversion charge.

An in-house accountant in the US runs $55,000 to $80,000 a year in base salary before benefits. Australian salaries for the same roles are similar once converted to US dollars, and UK salaries run somewhat lower; in all three markets the local cost is several times the offshore rate. Sourcefit’s accounting rates are $1,260 to $2,760 a month, all in, which annualizes to $15,120 to $33,120. The spread between entry and senior reflects the salary difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant with close and reporting experience in the Philippines, passed through at cost.

A firm sells you a service on its own processes and systems, usually by the hour or on a fixed scope. A managed vendor runs the function to service levels. A dedicated accountant is your employee in all but the paperwork: they work in your systems, on your close calendar, reporting to your controller, and Sourcefit handles employment, equipment, IT and replacement. If you have a finance lead who can direct the work, dedicated is usually the lowest cost and the most control.

Bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable and collections, payroll processing, reconciliations, month-end close and reporting all move offshore well, and so does the senior work: full ownership of the close, management reporting, FP&A, audit preparation, and accounting managers and controllers who run the team. Philippine CPAs with US GAAP experience fill those roles. Payment release, bank signatory authority, tax strategy and audit sign-off stay with you, and the CFO’s judgment is informed by, not replaced by, the offshore team.

A Philippine CPA is a licensed, exam-based credential, and the Philippines produces a large number of them every year. They are trained on PFRS, which follows IFRS, so US GAAP topics such as revenue recognition and leases need specific training or documented US client experience, which we screen for. A Philippine CPA can prepare and review US returns, and the signing preparer is normally on your side of the engagement; attestation under US standards requires a US state CPA license, and we do not position offshore staff as doing either.

The same way you would with a local one. Offshore staff prepare and record; you approve and release payments. They have no signatory authority and no ability to move money, bank access is read-only or limited, and every entry carries an audit trail in your system. We will help you set the roles up that way at onboarding.

Your controller or finance lead, in your system, the same as for a local hire, with Sourcefit’s training and quality team monitoring accuracy and coaching behind them as part of the standard fee. If you would rather not run the day-to-day review yourself, our Sightline model adds a Sourcefit team lead and QA layer that delivers against agreed SLAs for accuracy and turnaround, while the team still reports directly to you and works to your KPIs; it is quoted per engagement. The failure mode in cheap offshore bookkeeping is a lone contractor with nobody reviewing the work; both models are built to avoid it.

Teams in the Philippines can work a US-aligned shift or an overnight model where reconciliations and entries are done while you sleep and reviewed in your morning, which shortens the close. The Dominican Republic sits in US Eastern time and South Africa covers the UK and Europe. You choose the overlap.

Transaction categorization, invoice capture and matching are increasingly automated inside QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite. The accountant’s value is in exceptions, review, close and reporting, and in supervising the automation. We recruit accountants who use those tools, and when automation reduces hours the salary line goes down with it. If you want help deciding what to automate, WorkingAI, our managed AI service, consults on process optimization: mapping your finance workflow, identifying the steps that can be automated or AI-assisted, and sizing the team around what is left for people to do.
