A Better Way to Hire an Accountant

Hiring an accountant the traditional way means months of recruiting for a role that costs $75K+ before benefits, or stretching a bookkeeper past what they should own. So the close slips. Accruals get skipped, the balance sheet carries balances nobody can explain, and by the time financials are ready they describe a month you barely remember. Our model closes that gap by placing a dedicated accountant who owns your close end to end, matched and working in weeks.

Every candidate goes through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment. When you hire an accountant through us, they complete a full mock month-end close during vetting, journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations, before you ever interview them. Then they get embedded in your general ledger and close checklist within 30 days, with no employment admin on your side.

What does an Accountant do?

An accountant owns your books beyond data entry, running the month-end close and producing financial statements that follow US GAAP. That means numbers you can act on within days of month-end.

  • Run the month-end close on a checklist and calendar, posting journal entries for accruals, prepaids, depreciation, and payroll allocations
  • Reconcile every balance sheet account monthly, so cash, AR, AP, and deferred balances tie out with documented support
  • Produce US-GAAP financial statements and flux commentary, explaining what moved and why before anyone has to ask
  • Prepare clean workpapers for your CPA, auditors, and lenders, and manage fixed assets, intercompany entries, and 1099 tracking through the year

When is it time to Hire an Accountant?

Most teams hire an accountant when the books stop being a record and start needing to be a system, and nobody owns that system.

Your close finishes on the 20th or later, and the financials are stale before anyone reads them

The bookkeeper keeps the ledger current but nobody posts accruals, so your P&L swings with payment timing instead of reality

Your CPA or a lender asked for GAAP-basis statements and reconciliations, and producing them took weeks of cleanup

Balance sheet accounts carry old, unexplained balances, and you have stopped asking what is in them

Hiring an accountant locally typically costs $6,500 to $9,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time accountant working directly inside your general ledger, close checklist, and reporting stack.

Common Questions

How fast can an accountant start?
Most placements are matched and inside your ledger within 30 days. You interview a pre-vetted shortlist, choose your candidate, and we handle contracts and onboarding so they can join your next close.
How experienced are your accountants?
Typically 3 to 7+ years across full-cycle accounting, and many trained in public accounting. They have owned month-end closes, balance sheet reconciliations, and audit support at US companies.
Do they know US GAAP?
Yes. Vetting includes accrual accounting, revenue and expense recognition, and reconciliation scenarios under US GAAP, plus a mock close they complete and defend before you meet them.
Is our financial data secure?
Yes. Accountants work under signed confidentiality agreements, and you grant system access with role-based permissions you control, so sensitive data stays inside your environment at all times.
Can they work in my time zone?
Yes. Candidates are matched to your working hours, so close week, CPA questions, and month-end crunches all happen during your business day.
What tools do your accountants know?
QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite for the ledger, plus Bill.com, Ramp, Gusto, and Stripe on the workflow side, with Excel and FloQast for reconciliations and close management.
How is this different from a bookkeeper or outsourced firm?
A bookkeeper records transactions, and firms rotate juniors through your account. When you hire an accountant through us, one dedicated person owns your close, your reconciliations, and your financial statements.
