Offshore Accounting
An India-based team working inside your systems, on your reporting framework, with an overlap window that means questions get answered the same day.
Offshore accounting means an India-based team maintains your books inside your own systems and under the reporting framework you report on — US GAAP, UK GAAP under FRS 102, or IFRS — rather than under Indian standards. It is used both by overseas businesses with no finance staff and by accounting and CPA firms extending capacity, and the arrangements that work are the ones where the review layer, the working-paper standard and the access controls are agreed before the first file moves.
What our offshore accounting covers
Your systems, your framework, your working paper standard.
- Bookkeeping and monthly close under US GAAP, FRS 102 or IFRS
- Working papers prepared to your firm's own template and standard
- Year-end file preparation and audit query support
- Management accounts produced in your existing reporting format
- Payables, receivables and payroll journal processing
- Defined turnaround times with an agreed daily overlap window
What makes an offshore arrangement work
Four things settled before any client file moves.
Framework fit
The team works natively in your reporting framework rather than preparing Indian-format accounts and translating them afterwards.
Working paper standard
Files built to your template, so your reviewer opens something familiar instead of learning a new format each month.
Overlap window
An agreed daily window when the team is available live, which is what keeps queries from costing a full day each.
Data handling
Scoped system access, non-disclosure terms, restricted-team working and a documented process for how client data is stored and moved.
Our process
How offshore engagements are built up safely.
Pilot file
One entity or one client file run end to end, so both sides see the real output before scaling.
Standardisation
Templates, naming, review notes and turnaround times fixed from what the pilot taught.
Scale
Volume added in defined increments rather than all at once.
Review cadence
Regular quality review against the agreed standard, with findings fed back into the process.
Why offshore engagements succeed or fail
What sets our approach apart.
Framework knowledge, not translation
A team that knows the framework you report under produces files your reviewer can sign; a team translating from Indian format produces rework.
Capacity that flexes
Busy-season peaks are absorbed without you hiring for a load that exists three months a year.
Controls agreed before data moves
Access scoping, confidentiality terms and data-handling arrangements are settled at the start, not raised after the first file transfer.
