Questions
Before you book.
Will my clients know you exist?
No. For firms we work inside your systems and deliver under your name. The client relationship stays entirely yours.
Who will actually work on my files?
A named senior accountant prepares each file and a second, senior reviewer checks it before it reaches you. You can meet the team on a call first.
How do you handle §7216 and client confidentiality?
A mutual NDA comes first. We give you a checklist for your engagement letter and §7216 consent, mask SSNs by default and work only inside your systems, with two-factor, role-based access.
Which software do you work in?
Yours: QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Zoho Books, Tally or FreeAgent. The data stays on your platform.
What does the free trial include?
One client file, or your own books, closed and reviewed to the same standard as paid work. No commitment afterwards.
Can you handle US, UAE and European clients together?
Yes. We agree the reporting basis per file (US GAAP, IFRS or UK GAAP) and prepare the relevant VAT or sales-tax records for each.
What happens past 20 client files?
Pricing becomes negotiable. Tell us your volume and the mix of file sizes and we'll quote a blended monthly rate.
