Team of Accountants | Outsourced Accounting for CPA Firms

The Industry Challenge

The CPA pipeline crisis isn't slowing down

The firms still growing have one thing in common: they've stopped trying to hire their way out.

The F&A outsourcing market is projected to grow from $59B in 2026 to $86B by 2031. The firms scaling fastest are building offshore teams as permanent extensions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Discovery to first delivered work: usually 2-3 weeks. Full ramp to multiple FTEs: 60-90 days. We recommend starting with a small pilot to prove fit before scaling.

That's your call. Most CPA firm partners prefer the work to stay branded as their firm. Our team operates fully behind your firm's branding — your email, your templates, your client communication standards.
